About this tour

Take to the skies on a 30-minute gyroplane lesson over Oahu’s North Shore, where rugged mountains and coastline unfold beneath you. This interactive flight with Skyland Air offers a fresh perspective on Hawaii and a chance to experience the thrill of piloting a unique aircraft.

Your lesson begins with a brief introduction to the gyroplane’s history and how it flies. Then, board with your flight instructor and head aloft. Once you reach altitude, the instructor will let you take the controls, showing you how approachable and fun flying can be. A two-way intercom headset keeps communication clear, and a jacket is provided in case the air feels chilly. Look out over the coast and mountains as you cruise above the North Shore.

The Oahu gyroplane lesson departs from Dillingham Airfield in Waialua. Flights are weather permitting, and the experience is not available to children under 8 or people over 254 lbs (115 kg). Meet near the tower, where parking is available. Book your Oahu gyroplane lesson for an exhilarating view of the island from the pilot’s seat.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 5.00 on Viator and 5.00 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 8% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 8% of tours in Oahu by this score.
