5.00Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Our pilot, Ross, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything so clearly throughout the flight. He took us to all the perfect spots, making the entire journey unforgettable. The views brought back amazing childhood memories of Jurassic Park. Five stars for both the pilot and the experience. Highly recommend!

5.00This tour was GREAT! very well handled from the booking experience to the flight itself. I had a question the day before and texted back and forth with them, quick responses to me. Our Pilot, Ross was really knowledgeable on everything we saw along with other questions we had. Never had a worry about his ability or the helicopters ability to give us a good tour.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable!

5.00We did a doors-off helicopter tour with Alii Air in Kauai, and it was hands down the best experience of my life. The views were beyond anything I’ve ever seen—absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. The entire crew was amazing. They were incredibly thorough with the safety instructions, which meant a lot since we had never been in a helicopter before, let alone with the doors off. Their professionalism really helped calm our nerves. Our pilot, Travis, was phenomenal. He shared so much interesting history and information about the island, answered all of our questions, and somehow had the most epic playlist perfectly timed with every view. He made us feel safe, relaxed, and excited the entire time. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kauai. Yes, it’s a bit pricey—but it is 100% worth it. This is something we will remember forever!
Stunning views of the coast!

5.00Definitely an experience of a lifetime. I am terrified of heights but felt completely secure the entire time on our doors off ride. We had Aiden as our pilot. He was super nice and very knowledgeable about the island. Would highly recommend this activity.
If you ever have the chance, go! You'll be amazed!

5.00It was absolutely stunning! I'm not a fan of flying and was worried about my first time in a helicopter but it was a smooth ride beyond expectations. Pre-flight check in, orientation, communication was all very smooth. Our pilot, Ross gave us plenty of information during the trip so we always knew what we are looking at. And the sights... just unbelievable. One of the best experiences in my life! Well worth it.
A great life experience. A thrilling way to sightsee the island.
