Parents might get a little nervous talking about taking their kids up in the air, but the spectacular view of Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and the stretches of beaches all around Oahu from a plane is unforgettable. Take an aerial tour of Hawaii with Island Seaplane Service (85 Lagoon Drive, Honolulu 808-836-6273). Take off from the Keehi Lagoon much like the first visitors did in seaplanes decades ago. Rides range from $125 to $230.
