Sunshine Helicopters

Sunshine HelicoptersThe Island of Hawaii is not only the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands but is also the largest and is home of Mt. Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Alongside Kilauea is Mauna Kea, the tallest sea mountain in the world that stands higher than 30,000 feet and Mauna Loa, the most massive mountain in the world. Come experience the natural yet raw beauty of Hawaii with Sunshine Helicopters on our Whisper STAR helicopter.

Weight & Size Restrictions
Helicopter weight and balance changes with every flight because of passenger weight, pilot weight and length of flight (fuel weight). It is important that we have accurate body weight from every passenger. FAA regulations require all passengers and their carry-on items to be weighed at time of check-in. If a standard airline seat belt is too small or you weigh over 240 pounds you may be required to purchase a comfort seat on our FX STAR. If you are between 240-290 lbs. we recommend open seating on the Whisper STAR. Over 290 lbs. may require a comfort seat in our Whisper STAR.
