Private Helicopter Flight Over the Pacific Dateline Corridor

Soar above the vast blue Pacific at the exact longitude of the International Date Line in a private helicopter charter, with panoramic views of atolls, open ocean, and the curvature of the Earth on the clearest of days.

What to expect

Departure from a private terminal; your pilot briefs you on the route and what to look for at altitude. At the IDL crossing point in the air, the pilot marks the moment and you may request a hover for photographs. The electric-blue gradient of shallow lagoon water against deep-ocean cobalt is staggering. On clear days, multiple island groups are visible simultaneously.
