A helicopter tour that explores the most beautiful sights of the Garden Isle!

Join us on an unforgettable, awe-inspiring aerial adventure over the Garden Isle of Kauai. You’ll experience breathtaking Hanapepe Valley with sweeping views of the lush valleys below. Plunging down a 400 foot (120m) cliff, view the famed and privately owned waterfall “Jurassic Park” falls or Manawaiopuna Falls. Olokele Canyon and majestic Waimea Canyon, rightly known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” This canyon has unique geologic history as it was formed not only by erosion but also by the catastrophic collapse of the volcano that crated Kauai millions of years ago.

Spanning over 15-miles (15km), take in the best views of the sacred Na Pali Coasts razor-sharp ridges and cliffs as high as 4,000 foot (1200m) towering above the Pacific Ocean. Spot beautiful secluded beaches and thundering waterfalls among lush green valleys along the way. Watch for the pyramid-shaped mountain peak – Mount Makana or Bali Hai before rounding the north shore to the renowned Hanalalei. Before landing at the Princeville airport, capture some images of the nearly 2-miles (3.2km) of beach favorite ocean activity spot of the Hanalei Bay.

Recommendations:

• Wear solid dark-colored clothing. Our helicopters are temperature controlled so dress comfortably but wear dark clothing. This will cause less reflection in the windows to allow a clear view of all the sights.
• If you are particularly prone to motion sickness, taking a precautionary anti-motion sickness medication is a good idea. However, our flights are very smooth and turns are slow and gentle.
• Bring your camera or cell phone (on airplane mode) to take photos and video of your tour.

Restrictions/Requirements:

• Not permitted on aircraft; scarves or bandanas, iPads or tablet computers, purses, bags or camera bags, selfie sticks and extendable wands,
