5.00What a magnificent experience! I was mesmerized every moment of the flight, from the initial G pull of liftoff to zooming over Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast to getting right inside the rainy crater, where the skies changed in an instant. Stuart is a 10/10 pilot. Easy communication, kept the ride smooth, hit all the prime spots. Doors-off will involve a lot of wind in your face, so prepare accordingly. Otherwise the rear seat was comfortable, and I’m a pretty tall guy. They put safety first. I tried to go two years ago but they canceled ten minutes before the meet-up time due to poor weather. I respected the decision then and I respect it even more now after having experienced it. It was worth the wait and worth a splurge.
Really worth every penny!

5.00It was a blast! I was a little skeptical at the beginning as I am slightly afraid of heights and my partner sometimes gets motion sick - but after the first 10 minutes everything was blown away by the exciting, magical views. Mario was a very good pilot and showed a great taste in music during the flight. It doesn’t matter if you sit on the right or the left, the pilot always takes a turn so that everybody gets the stunning views. Also Ray our security instructor and shuttle driver was very nice and gave us some helpful tips as a Kauian-born.
A lifetime of memories.

5.00The thrill of circling the cliff edge of a canyon through your iPhone, sometimes twisting the fierce wind in a doorless helicopter, is a unique experience. Arthur the pilot had a wealth of knowledge of terrain features and geography, as well as a great sense of flying skill. Thank you, Arthur, for your lifetime memories of Kauai!
