The crew here clearly knows how to make a helicopter tour memorable. Pilots like Josh, Travis, and Tianna get consistent praise for their flying skills and engaging commentary about Oahu's geography and points of interest. The ground staff, including Kevin and Brittany, earn genuine appreciation for their friendly, professional approach that puts nervous fliers at ease. People seem particularly thrilled with the doors-off experience, describing it as a bucket-list adventure they won't forget. There are a couple concerns worth noting. A few travelers ran into last-minute cancellations due to maintenance or weather, with at least one visitor feeling frustrated by the lack of alternative arrangements. One reviewer also mentioned feeling cramped in the seating arrangement despite arriving early. These seem to be isolated incidents though, as the overwhelming majority describe an exceptional experience with attentive staff who treat customers like gold. The pilots' calm demeanor during turbulence and their ability to make even first-time helicopter passengers feel comfortable really stands out across reviews.
We are visiting Honolulu for the first time and my daughter and I thought we'd splurge on the Magnum, doors-off, 50-minute helicopter tour. It was a great treat! Their customer service was stellar and it started when we had to call a couple of times. Once about the best way to get to the airfield and again to see if we were flying, as the weather was turning a bit. Kevin answered both times and could not have been more friendly and helpful. When we arrived, Brittany got us ready to fly. She was very professional and kept things light and fun. Out pilot, Tianna, was very calm and competent. She also pointed out all the cool stuff on the island and kept the music 🎶 flowing. It was great to check off this bucket list item and I'm glad i took tons of pics and video as this was a one in a lifetime experience for me and Magmum helicopter tours is highly recommended!
