        Fabulous Views

        The Garden Isle is known for its natural beauty, and there are few better ways to appreciate this than from the air. A helicopter tour provides amazing views of some of the most spectacular sights in Hawaii. From the air, you can see the dramatic cliffs, emerald valleys, and sparkling waterfalls that make the island so special. And because many of these features cannot be reached by car or on foot, a helicopter tour is the best way to discover them. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, be sure to take to the skies on your visit to Kauai.

        Your Local Pilot Is Your Guide

        60-65 minutes may not seem like a lot of time, but it’s more than enough to enjoy the ultimate air tour of Kauai. On this helicopter tour, you’ll fly alongside the ridgeline behind Hanalei Bay and travel south to see the numerous waterfalls of Hanalei Valley. Catch a glimpse of Kauai’s Mt. Wai`ale`ale crater (weather permitting). And in winter months, you might even be able to spot some whales! Our experienced pilots will share with you the rich history and legends of Kauai along the way. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the views!

          A Fun and Compact Adventure

        Description

        It’s no wonder this is our most popular tour. Soar over Kauai on our famous helicopter tour. For around one hour, you'll be swept away by the stunning views of the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Manawaiopuna Falls. Weather permitting, you'll also get to see the amazing Mt. Waiale'ale Crater, which is the site of Kauai's last volcanic eruption 1.5 million years ago.

        In an early scene of the first Jurassic Park, a helicopter lands at the base of a beautiful waterfall. You’ll find this spot-on Kauai — in fact, Manawaiopuna Falls is now commonly referred to as “Jurassic Park Falls.” Want to relive the scene? The site is located on private property and is only accessible via helicopter. Another incredible view is Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. This large canyon is approximately ten miles long and up to 3,000 feet deep. From the air, you can see the incredible waterfalls that carved this canyon eons ago.

        These tours are perfect for small groups, and you can choose between a private or shared tour. On a shared tour, you may be joined by 1-2 additional passengers, but you'll still get an intimate experience with unbeatable views. And if you're looking for something even more unique, try a private helicopter tour for an unforgettable experience. No matter which option you choose, you'll surely fall in love with Kauai from above!

        Frequently Asked Questions

        • Do People Get Sick? Should I Take Dramamine?

          Although most guests enjoy our flights with no discomfort at all, some guests are prone to motion sickness. If this applies to you, we recommend taking Dramamine or a similar product. As with all medicines, consult with your doctor before use. All flights are sightseeing tours, and our pilots take pride in providing the smoothest, safest, and most enjoyable tours available.
        • How Many People Can A Helicopter Hold?

          For this flight, we have a maximum of three passengers.
        • Which Is Better – Doors On Or Doors Off?

          Both options allow for optimal viewing, as each window seat has wide windows extending from the top of your head to your waist. The choice to fly with or without doors depends on your priorities and comfort level. In a closed aircraft, you are shielded from wind exposure, and you will hear music and narration clearly. It is a very serene way of taking in the scenery through the large windows. If you are game for a more visceral experience or photography is important to you, our doors-off adventure is for you. Floor-to-ceiling openings allow you to look straight down into waterfalls and sea caves, and glare from windows in your photos is no factor.
        • What Are The Advantages Of A Helicopter Tour Versus An Airplane Tour?

          Because of their agility and small turning radius, helicopters can fly you right into the heart of Hawaii’s geological gems, such as the many lush valleys and sprawling canyons, while fixed‐wing aircraft have to circle above. Helicopters allow you a more intimate look at the terrain. Because our pilots can slow down and turn the aircraft around some of the famous highlights, you can take a more leisurely look and are given enhanced photo opportunities. Also, when was the last time you were in a helicopter?
        • LOAD MORE
        • What Will We See On Our Private Helicopter Tour?

          On these magnificent islands, there is much to be discovered by air. Certain of the countless remarkable features have, deservedly, garnered special interest and are most popular for aerial viewing. Weather permitting, our pilots will explore with you all of each island’s most famous geological features as outlined in our tour descriptions. Sometimes, wind and weather conditions necessitate a deviation from the usual tour route. In these instances, our pilots will attempt to show off other spectacular scenery not normally included on the tours, as all islands offer more hidden wonders to please the eye than can possibly be covered on a single flight. We guarantee to showcase spectacular scenery and breathtaking views that are not obtainable by car or trail.
        • What Is Your Policy With Weather?

          Along with ample sunshine, the islands are also blessed with abundant daily rainfall, which nourishes the lushness and creates the erosive force that continues to shape all the fascinating geology. Most of the island’s waterfalls are sustained only by rainfall, and misty showers often delight passengers with rainbows along the tour. Usually, our typical high cumulus clouds and precipitation do not diminish the quality of your tour, but instead give it dimension and add other exciting facets to your experience. However, if the pilot determines that prevailing visibility, cloud cover, or wind speeds do not allow for a good air tour, or if it is not safe to fly, we will of course cancel the flight. Because weather conditions can change dramatically day to day and hour by hour, the pilots do have up until the flight time to decide. Decisions often cannot be made prior to check-in.
        • Can I Talk To The Pilot During The Tour?

          Yes, you can! Except during critical flight stages, such as take‐off and landing, feel free to ask a question, share impressions or comments, and engage with the others onboard. We provide inter‐communication between all occupants of the aircraft as an added bonus.
