5.00This was an amazing tour. My wife had never been in a helicopter prior to this experience and was amazed at the views. Since this was doors off it was very windy inside an a lot cooler so def bring a long sleeve jacket. I recommend no hoodie as it just flaps around annoying you. If you try to put it up it just interferes with your views a bit. Kauai is awesome to see from. The sky. Highly recommend this as a must do.
Experience of a lifetime....
