The adventure continues to some of the island's most spectacular hidden gems. You'll soar through Kaawa Valley and over Sacred Falls before tracing the legendary North Shore coastline. The grand finale takes you above Pearl Harbor, where the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri tell their powerful stories from a unique vantage point that few visitors ever experience.
