Kauai Helicopters

Kauai Helicopter Tours offer a truly unique way to experience the island’s breathtaking
beauty from an aerial perspective. These tours combine the thrill of flight with the
chance to see Kauai’s most iconic and remote landscapes, making them a highlight for
many visitors. Here’s what sets these helicopter tours apart:

Iconic Landscapes

• Na Pali Coast: Known for its towering cliffs, deep valleys, and lush greenery, the
  Na Pali Coast is one of Kauai’s most famous and dramatic landscapes. A
  helicopter tour provides unmatched views of this rugged coastline, which is
  otherwise inaccessible by road.
• Waimea Canyon: Often called the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," Waimea
  Canyon’s vast, colorful expanses are best appreciated from the air, where the full
  scale and beauty of this natural wonder can be seen.
• Mount Wai'ale'ale: As one of the wettest spots on earth, Mount Wai'ale'ale is a
  geological marvel, with waterfalls cascading down its steep, verdant slopes.
  Helicopter tours offer a rare glimpse into this remote area, highlighting Kauai’s
  ancient landscapes.

Geological Marvels

• The tours emphasize Kauai’s rich geological history, showcasing its dramatic
  cliffs, deep valleys, and countless waterfalls. Seeing these features from the air
  offers a new appreciation for the island’s natural beauty and the forces that have
  shaped it over millennia.

Comprehensive Aerial Tours

• Circle Island Flights: These popular tours, typically around an hour long, provide
  a comprehensive view of Kauai’s most stunning sights. For those with limited
  time, shorter tours focusing on specific areas like the Na Pali Coast are also
  available.
• Departure Points: Tours often depart from locations such as Princeville, making
  them accessible whether you’re staying on the north shore or elsewhere on the
  island.

State-of-the-Art Helicopters

• A-Star and Eco-Star Helicopters: These helicopters are designed for sightseeing,
  with 180-degree visibility and comfortable seating. The Eco-Star, known as the
  Whisper Star, offers an even quieter and more spacious experience.
• Hughes 500: For those seeking a more intimate experience, the Hughes 500
  offers "doors off" flights, which are especially popular with photographers who
  want unobstructed views and the ability to capture stunning aerial shots.

Photography Opportunities

• The option to remove the helicopter doors makes these tours a photographer’s
  dream, allowing for clear, unobstructed shots of Kauai’s dramatic landscapes.
  The ability to hover and get close to features like waterfalls and cliffs adds to the
  appeal for those looking to capture the perfect shot.

Memorable Adventure

• Kauai Helicopter Tours offer more than just sightseeing—they provide a deeply
  immersive experience that lets you connect with the island’s natural beauty in a
  way that’s both thrilling and serene. Whether you’re hovering beside waterfalls or
  soaring above ancient valleys, these tours leave a lasting impression, offering
  memories of Kauai that will stay with you long after the flight is over.
