5.00Such a fun, unique experience. I am scared of heights and wasn't sure how I'd feel, but got through the whole flight, just held one with one hand 🤪 We picked this company over others because they offered more times and you could cancel/reschedule up to 24 hours before, which was important to us because the weather forecast was so unpredictable. It ended up being a beautiful, clear day, couldn't have asked for better!
Awesome Tour

5.00We took the "Doors Off" helicopter tour, and WOW was it fantastic. Best thing we did on Kauai and the ONLY way to properly see the island. Aiden, our pilot was very polite, kind and most important professional. I "Strongly" recommend this tour.

5.00I flew helicopters in the military for years and this was the best flight experience I’ve ever had. It’s a must to see the island by helicopter. I doubt there is a better place anywhere in the world.
Worth it.
