5.00AMAZING! Our pilot took us around the entire circumference of the island and gave us lots of history and info at the different points of interest including the Waimea Canyon and the Napali Coast. I enjoyed every minute and the price was reasonable for what you got.
Highly Recommend this company!

5.00Great experience, knowledgeable pilot who was born and raised in Kaua’i. The plane ride was smooth and we got great views and pictures all the way around the island! Would highly recommended! If we could have done it any differently it would have been on one our first days exploring the island instead of one of the last days so we could better chart out where we wanted to explore!
Awesome views

5.00It gave us a view of the island we could never have gotten in any other way. We were able to put into perspective the different side sides of the island. The Nāpili coast was amazing and otherwise non accessible. Our pilot Zak was great maneuvering the plane to give great views to those seated on both sides of the plane.
Amazing experience

5.00We had a great experience with Captain Zach. He was a great guide, very informative and knowledgeable. Had a calm presence and shared information about the island of Kauai. Highly recommend them.

4.00Good company and careful pilot On the other hand, the passage again over the Napali Coast cliffs was not done which had a disadvantage for those placed on the left of the aircraft. Too bad and frustrating as the show is beautiful if the weather is favorable

5.00It was a wonderful flight with a knowledgeable pilot. The views were spectacular! I will choose Airventures again.
Great way to see the whole island

4.00This was a great way to see Kauai. Only 6 people per tour, everyone has a window seat, the pilot provides narration, and you get to see the whole island (important, since only 70% of Kauai is accessible by car!) The plane can't get up close like the helicopter tours do, but you get a great birds-eye view of Kauai's land features and waterfalls. The tour lasts about an hour and free parking is available at their terminal at Lihue.
A Flight of Fancy.

5.00The Garden Isle scenery is spectacular. You may decide on a helicopter flight or choose a simpler, cheaper and (perhaps) better option with Air Ventures Hawaii. A trip around the Garden Isle to see the shoreline, the majesty of the NaPali Coast and the waterfalls is one of those ‘bucket list’ musts and you’ll not find much better than aboard this little aircraft with a few fellow visitors and a knowledgeable pilot. (My thanks to young Zach, pilot today, who was friendly and especially helpful and courteous. A great activity.
