Rainbow Helicopters is known for offering incredible aerial tours of Hawaiʻi—but their mission goes beyond sightseeing. When disaster strikes or a local family needs support, Rainbow is often among the first to step in. Here’s how they’ve made a meaningful difference through community support on the Big Island.
Responding to Disaster: Maui Relief Flights
When wildfires devastated parts of Maui in 2023, Rainbow Helicopters didn’t hesitate. Though primarily based on Oʻahu and the Big Island, the team flew critical supplies—including formula, diapers, and hygiene kits—to help affected families.
That same spirit of action carried over to the Big Island. Rainbow is prepared to deliver aid and partner with local charities during natural disasters, ensuring that remote communities aren’t left behind.
Supporting Mothers and Keiki in Crisis
Rainbow’s commitment to ʻohana (family) shows in their targeted outreach. The company has coordinated with local organizations to support women and children displaced by emergencies—providing transport, resources, and awareness for vulnerable families.
One initiative even saw Rainbow collaborating with artists and nonprofit leaders to donate over $50,000 to multiple local organizations, with a focus on mothers and keiki.
Investing in Local Nonprofits & Partners
Rainbow Helicopters partners with a range of Hawaiian nonprofits and educational programs, including those focused on:
- Environmental protection
- Disaster relief logistics
- Youth education and aviation access
Through these partnerships, they help foster a more resilient and connected island community—especially in underserved areas of the Big Island.

When you book a flight with Rainbow Helicopters, you’re not just getting a world-class tour—you’re supporting a local company that gives back where it counts. Their efforts are a reminder that the spirit of aloha is more than a greeting—it’s a commitment to care.
