5.00Kathy from Air Kuaui was amazing trying to navigate the back and forth with Viator. The connection with Viator was complicated as they operate with too many hands. We found ourselves repeating our story to at least 3-4 different representatives. We resented having to spend so much time on our vacation working with too many Viator representatives to resolve our issues.
Steve was an incredible pilot and guide!!

5.00Best helicopter tour we’ve taken!! Consider yourself lucky if you can get on a helicopter with Steve. He is the most experienced pilot and has this tour perfected to a tee! It was so special, the tour felt much longer than 45 minutes, we saw EVERYTHING and then some few hidden secrets too. We are so thankful we had Steve as our pilot. We did a lot of research on reputable companies snd really feel like we found the best one.
Wonderful experience

5.00This event was beyond all expectations. The views were absolutely amazing and Kauai should be experienced in this way. We saw so much of the island that would not be seen otherwise. I absolutely recommend this to anyone!

4.00It was beautiful of course, but be prepared for extremely expensive. If you go to the beach it is free. All other events are very high priced along with dining out. It rained a lot but it wasn’t cold. We had a condo to do some cooking. It was 10.00 for a gallon of milk, etc.
Honeymoon re-do!

5.00We took a Kauai helicopter tour in 1986 on our honeymoon. We are back on Kauai and could Not pass up the chance to relive this highlight of our stay! Yesterday’s flight with Steve was Great! His narration of the things we were seeing – and his sharing of his experiences were informative and entertaining. Seeing parts of the island we could never drive or hike to was unmatched. This “around and over” the island was a chance to refresh some great memories we made 39 years ago!
I missed the part we're...

5.00Our Air Kauai helicopter tour was absolutely breathtaking from start to finish! This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience (or twice for us as we flew with Air Kauai on our honeymoon 19 years ago), and we couldn’t have asked for a better pilot than Kelby. His skillful flying and wealth of knowledge about the island made the tour unforgettable. Kelby’s narration was informative and engaging, blending fascinating facts about Kauai’s history and landscapes with a genuine passion for the island’s beauty. He also had a great sense of humor that kept us smiling throughout the flight. His music playlist was also fantastic and designed to coincide with the views experienced during our trip. The views were beyond spectacular—towering waterfalls, lush valleys, the rugged Na Pali Coast, and even hidden parts of the island you can’t see any other way. The helicopter was comfortable, and the ride felt smooth and safe the entire time. This was hands down the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. If you’re considering a helicopter tour in Kauai, don’t hesitate—book with Air Kauai and ask for Kelby! It’s an experience you’ll never forget. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

1.00We booked this far in advance for our honeymoon. Once we arrived, they rescheduled us multiple times due to a maintenance issue. We ended up not getting to go while we were here. Such a bummer.
