Experience the thrill of a lifetime with our doors-off helicopter tour over breathtaking Kauai. On this exhilarating adventure, you will feel the wind in your hair and get unobstructed views from our specially designed helicopter with the doors removed and pilot controls on the left hand side.

Our knowledgeable and skilled pilots will guide you through the island’s iconic landmarks, providing insightful commentary along the way.
Safety is our top priority, and our doors-off helicopter tours adhere to the highest industry standards.

We fly a FULL 60-65 minute tour. You don’t want to settle for any less than 60 minutes, as this allows our pilots to take their time at each viewpoint and rotate the helicopter so all passengers have a great view regardless of seating arrangements.

We fly a MD500E aircraft, one of the safest and best helicopter makes in the world. Please know we fly a full tour with all seats sold.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Lihue
After checking in at our office and verifying weights you will be given a thorough safety briefing. You will then be transported to our hangar where you will board the aircraft and meet your pilot.
2.
After taking off, your first scenic landmarks will be the Nawiliwili Harbor and historic Menehune Fishpond. This is a great time to test out the two way communication and chat with your pilot and introduce yourself.
3. Manawaiopuna Falls (Jurassic Park Falls)
After soaring over the Tunnel of Trees in Poipu you will make your way inland and leave all signs of civilization behind you. You will make your way up Hanapepe Valley towards Manawaiopuna Falls, made famous in the opening scene of Jurassic Park.
4.
You will start to get a taste of Kauai's unique geography when flying over Olokele Canyon.
5. Waimea Canyon State Park
Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, you will experience the best perspective of Kauai's famous canyon and it's array of beautiful colors that make up its soil and vegetation.
6.
Fly right over the stunning Waipo'o falls, a multi-tier waterfall on the sheer cliffs of Waimea Canyon.
7. Na Pali Coast
Some would call it the star of the show, the famous Na Pali Coast! Jaw-dropping beauty that will make you want to come back again and again. On our FULL hour tour you will get more time on the coastline than any of our competitors. Our pilots will be able to take you up close and personal with the stunning cathedrals of Kalalau, though remote lush valleys, and still have enough time to fly out and get a wide perspective of the entire coastline.
8.
A stunning valley, ridge and beach along Na Pali coast that's almost always missed on the shorter 45 min tours of our competitors. Your pilot will fly you up close to these epic cliffs for a chance to spot wild goats roaming about.
9. Ke'e Beach
Get a view of the beautiful Ke'e beach, or as locals call it "the end of the road". This is the start to the Na Pali Coast Trail. It is also where your pilot will turn the helicopter so everyone on board can get one last view of the Na Pali Coast.
10. Tunnels Beach
Get an incredible perspective of Tunnels Reef from the air. You'll realize why this reef is some of the best snorkeling/scuba diving in the world.
11. Hanalei Bay
As you fly down the coast of Kauai's North shore you will see many beaches including popular Hanalei Bay. You will fly up towards the stunning mountains above the sleepy little town that often have many waterfalls, especially after a little rain.
12. Mt. Waialeale
After leaving the North Shore you will fly towards the center of the island to Mt Waialeale, Kauai's dormant shield volcano. It's epic crater is known as the Weeping Wall thanks to it's many waterfalls. The crater sees more than 450 inches of rainfall a year making it one of the wettest spots on Earth.
13. Wailua Falls
Before heading back to the Lihue airport you will have the opportunity to see one more great landmark, the beautiful Wailua Falls.

We thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter tour adventure! Chrissy was an amazing pilot that kept the aircraft steady as she navigated into steep lush green valleys and down along the beautiful NaPali coastline. All the staff were friendly and professional, they helped us feel well taken care of throughout our experience.

We booked the flight spontaneously two days before. We were very happy with the organization and the instructions. All the staff were very friendly.
The flight was simply fantastic and unique! This is the only way to really get a real overview of Kauai. In our opinion, the tour is definitely worth the money!
