5.00This was an amazing experience. The communication to the check in to the boarding was seamless. Our pilot Taylor was exceptional and provided us with a once in a lifetime experience. The doors off the only way to do this. A definite must do.

5.00We booked this because of a cancellation and we couldn't have been more excited to still be able to do an Heli upon Kauai. This company was great! So communicative and easy to work with. Truly an incredible ride. Taylor was awesome! He was so thorough beyond the video we had to watch prior to our ride. We felt so safe! This was insanely fun and a perfect way to start our day. Cannot recommend enough! DO IT!

5.00Sam was our pilot. He was great. We took this trip on 4-2-26, we had some reservations but decided to go for it. Sam was very informative throughout the flight and the sights were more beautiful than you can image. My husband and I were thankful we didn't give up on the trip, we are both 70. We will never forget this experience and thankful for Ali'i Air and Sam.

5.00What an amazing hour in the sky we had with Brett as the pilot. I highly recommend doing the doors off flight. The view was incredible and pictures are clear. Yes, I was a bit scared at first but once this mid seventies woman was up in the air the 25 mph trip was a joy.
Door off, jaw dropping amazing!!

5.00Best tour ever!!! Breath taking views of the Napali Coast and mountain ranges. Not a cheap tour but so so worth the money. Memories that will stay with us forever. Really strong safety culture, plenty of instruction. Brett was our amazing pilot and so knowledgeable, giving loads of detail around what we were seeing. We would highly recommend!!
Once in a lifetime experience!!!

5.00What a beautiful experience! Brett was an excellent Pilot who made the trip smooth and set my nerves at ease. Amazing views of this beautiful island. Birds eye view is the best way to experience the beauty of the island landscape. We got up close to the Na Pali coast, canyon, waterfalls, and crater. It was an amazing life experience. I'm still smiling! Auntie Mae was the wonderful first point of contact who provided a lot of useful information and making you feel at ease. Great first flight!!!
A unique experience!

5.00We decided to take the helicopter tour with open doors. It was really a unique experience and we can only recommend it to anyone. Everything was super organized, we got an introduction, during the flight we felt very safe. Taylor was a great pilot and told us a lot about the different stations. However, you should dress warm, it will be cold and windy. Can only recommend it! Thank you Ingrid and Taylor for this amazing experience!
Spectacular Helicopter ride!
