Tour Description

You can relax in comfort on one of our FX STAR helicopters flown by an experienced, and knowledgeable pilot. You will tour Waimea Canyon known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” and marvel at the lush greenery. Mt. Waialeale – the wettest spot on earth – feeds into Alakai Swamp which is home to several rare species of birds and plants.

Look out for Wailua Falls, also known as Fantasy Island Waterfalls for its appearance in the TV series. You’ve heard of the legendary Na Pali Coast. With its dramatic cliffs and remote beaches, the view is spellbinding no matter how many times you see it. This is the home of the legendary Bali Hai as seen in the 20th Century Fox movie, South Pacific.

With much of Kauai’s lush wilderness inaccessible by car, an aerial tour of Kauai is the perfect way to fully experience Kauai’s hidden natural wonders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can a helicopter hold? How is the seating done? Can I sit up front?

Our fleet of helicopters accommodates up to six passengers plus your pilot. The weight & balance of the helicopter is computer generated and insures proper seat assignment. This system is used to equally distribute the weight, ensuring the pilot a level and safe flying platform. Both fore/aft and lateral balance are considered along with the overall total weight of the helicopter. There are two seats to the left of the pilot and four seats directly behind. Our helicopters are made for touring, so each seat provides an excellent view for all passengers. Special requests for certain seats will be granted if allowed by our weight and balance system.
Do you have a set schedule? What’s the best time to fly?

No, we do not have a set schedule. Tours are established solely upon your request of tour area, day, and time. We will fly any tour anytime at your request, weather permitting. We suggest you book your flight in advance to ensure availability. All tours offer an excellent view, and any flight time whether morning or afternoon should be fantastic.
What’s the best tour?

Each of our tours highlights particular areas of interest. Within these areas are many points of interest. Repeat flyers generally choose an alternate tour, however sometimes passengers take the same tour over and over again. Also, each pilot choreographs his own music, narration, and scenic sights so no flights are the same. Please select the tour that meets your flight-seeing desires.
Can we bring a camera? Best camera lens?

Cameras are recommended! Our tours offer some of the most unique photo-taking opportunities anywhere on the planet. If you desire, your pilot will create a video of your actual flight utilizing our camera system which includes a cabin camera and nose camera (sold separately).
Does the wind affect the helicopter?

Helicopters unlike planes have no fixed wings. The main rotors function as a gyro and stabilize the helicopter in gusty conditions. If wind and gust are such that it will cause an uncomfortable flight, tours will be canceled. Your safety and comfort are our #1 concern.
What is your policy with weather?

We fly when it is safe and enjoyable; if the pilot feels that we will not provide a good quality tour, the tour will be cancelled. We will re-schedule based on availability or cancel if guest is unable to reschedule.
What should I wear? Why do you recommend dark clothes? Will I be comfortable?

Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Dark shirts or tops are recommended for photo taking. Bright-colored clothing may put a reflective glare on the helicopter's plexiglass windows and reflect in your photos. Dark clothing helps to eliminate the reflection. Our climate control system keeps our helicopters at a comfortable temperature for the entire flight.
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.
Are there restrooms on the helicopter?

No, helicopters are not equipped with restrooms. We do provide restroom facilities at each of our departure/landing sites.
How experienced are your pilots?

We are proud to provide our guests with some of the most experienced pilots on the islands. Each of our pilots receives extensive company and factory training.
Am I guaranteed to see everything in your tour description?

Tour descriptions are based on what sites have been most requested in the area to be toured. Every attempt will be made by our pilots to cover each site described or requested by you, weather permitting. Pilots will adjust their flight paths for wind and weather. We have many alternate sites to recommend. You will have the very best helicopter tour of Hawaii! Again, your safety and comfort are our #1 concern.
Can we fly tours at night?

FAA requires all tours must fly between “Sunrise and Sunset”; no tour may depart before sunrise and all tours must be on the ground before the sun sets.
