5.00A great experience! Our pilot Aidan was great and very knowledgeable pointing out all the beautiful sights.
Almost missed it!

5.00Our ship didn’t dock until 8am and our helicopter flight was booked for 7:30. Every other day our ship had docked at 7am. I didn’t notice this until the evening before our flight. I immediately called the office number and was helped by a very friendly lady. She was helpful and knew the cruise ship itinerary. She helped me get a flight later the same day. I was so thankful we did not miss this once in a lifetime trip. The flight was amazing and our pilot Clay was very informative and explained everything before we left the ground. He told us each sight we saw and he flew each direction so both sides of the helicopter saw the sights. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our 45 minute flight. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and informative.
Best island view

5.00First, if you are booking from a cruise ship, make sure you are in port at the time of your reservation. Ali’s was very accommodating to help us. The person on the phone and at the front desk were super nice and helpful. Clay was our pilot. He did a super job explaining things and put us at ease. He told us about each location and flew where both sides could see the sights. The valley and waterfalls are beautiful. It was breathtakingly stunning.
The most beautiful and astounding flight in the world

5.00What an amazing experience! The flight was phenomenal, the scenery breathtaking and the support by Aliiaitours and Clay was first class. Before the flight, the briefing was informative and useful (and didn’t treat us as idiots). Clay was a very informative and professional pilot. We felt safe through the whole journey. The scenery is like no where else on earth. This is a must “bucket list” experience.
Wonderful flight!

Highlight of Kaua’i Vacation

5.00Our private doors-off helicopter tour with Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Kauaʻi. Clay was our pilot, and he was incredibly safe, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. From check-in to takeoff, everyone we interacted with made us feel comfortable and at ease, which really added to the experience. The tour covered all of the major highlights of the island, and seeing Kauaʻi from the air was absolutely breathtaking. Our favorite parts were the ancient volcanic crater of Mount Waiʻaleʻale and flying along the stunning Nā Pali Coast. We highly recommend Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters to anyone visiting Kauaʻi and looking for an incredible way to experience the island. *** I added photos, but unfortunately I couldn’t upload the videos. While neither fully captures what it feels like in person, the videos were even more breathtaking than the photos. So take the beauty in these pictures and imagine it amplified 1000x!
Ali’i provides the royal treatment
