Soar above Kauai’s waterfalls, canyons, and Na Pali Coast on a private doors-off helicopter tour with guaranteed window seats.
“The only way to observe the absolute beauty of Kauai, the Garden Isle, is from a helicopter tour. Our pilot, Ross, was personable, professional and informative. Safety items were thoroughly addressed in pre-boarding and also with our pilot. BTW...Doors off is the only way to go. For a note, you do indeed need to wear a jacket/sweatshirt and securely tie your hair back since it is windy inside of the helicopter. The photo ops are truly amazing. This was not our first air tour in Kauai or the Islands...it was however one of our best! The private tour option is definitely a bonus.”
