Diamond Head State Monument

Oahu's crown, Diamond Head, pops into view presiding over the island known as The Gathering Place.

5

Lanikai Beach

The island’s Windward Coast awaits where you will see the incredible Ko’olau mountains standing watch above Lanikai Beach – often called the most marvelous beach in the world – and the offshore sandbars and coral formations that make Kaneohe Bay one of the most picturesque places on Earth.

Fly past Mokoli'i Island, and view with awe the succulent Ka’a’awa Valley before you.
