Kauai Helicopter Tours
Kauai is one of the best islands to enjoy a sightseeing helicopter tour
The island of Kauai, known as the “Garden Isle,” is the oldest and smallest of the four main Hawaiian islands. The island’s geography is unique as millions of years of erosion have created deep canyons, massive ocean cliffs, and towering waterfalls. Most of these features are in the island’s interior or along the massive cliffs of the Na Pali* coastline. Scenic overlooks or offshore boat views are beautiful, but these distant views are limited. However, a helicopter tour brings all the island’s splendors into full view!
Waimea Canyon*, called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” by Mark Twain, is a spectacular sight to witness no matter how you get there. Still, from the air, you’ll see the incredible patterns and colors of bright red soil and lush green rainforests as the canyon twists and turns its way to the ocean.
The Na Pali* coastline consists of miles of thousand ft high cliffs that meet pounding ocean waves along the island’s lush north shore. Access is limited to a rigorous hiking trail or by ocean raft. You’ll see these extensive cliffs connect with the peaks and canyons of this amazing island! Adding to this, flyovers of the only navigable freshwater river in Hawaii, multiple waterfalls, and stunning beaches, and you’ll know why a helicopter tour is one of the most popular things to do on Kauai!

Frequently Asked Questions about Helicopter Tours in Hawaii
How safe are helicopter tours in Hawaii?
Helicopter tours in Hawaii are generally safe, as they are regulated and operated by experienced pilots and tour companies. The pilots have extensive knowledge of local weather patterns, terrain, and flying conditions. Tour operators also follow strict safety guidelines and maintenance procedures to ensure the safety of their passengers. However, as with any type of transportation, there is always a certain level of risk involved. If you have concerns, do not hesitate to ask the tour operator about their safety record and procedures.
How much time before the tour should I check-in?
Most tour operators recommend checking in at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before the scheduled departure time. This allows time for safety briefings, paperwork, and any necessary preparations. Make sure to check the specific requirements of your tour operator, as check-in times may vary.
What are the weather protocols for helicopter tours in Hawaii?
Weather can be unpredictable in Hawaii, and tour operators prioritize passenger safety. If the weather conditions are deemed unsafe for flying, your tour may be rescheduled or canceled. In case of cancellation, most tour operators offer a full refund or the option to reschedule your tour. It’s always a good idea to have a flexible schedule and be prepared for potential changes due to weather conditions.
What is the best time of day to go on a helicopter tour in Hawaii?
The best time of day for a helicopter tour in Hawaii depends on the island you are visiting, the specific tour, and your personal preferences. Generally, morning tours offer calmer winds and better visibility, while afternoon tours may provide more dramatic lighting and shadows over the landscape. However, weather conditions can change throughout the day, and there is no guarantee of perfect conditions at any given time. Your tour operator can provide recommendations based on their experience and knowledge of local weather patterns.
Is it worth it to get front-row seats on a helicopter tour?
Front-row seats on a helicopter tour typically offer better views and a more immersive experience. However, whether it’s worth the additional cost depends on your personal preferences and budget. Some people feel the extra expense is worth it for the unobstructed views and increased comfort, while others are satisfied with the views from the standard seats. If you’re concerned about motion sickness, front-row seats may provide a smoother ride. It’s essential to weigh the cost against your priorities and decide if front-row seating is the right choice for you.
