Perfect experience from check-in with aunt May to the flight with Aiden and Clay! We learned a lot about Kauai’s geology and had incredible views of all the highlights. Flight duration was slightly more than one hour with the doors off - would do it again anytime and it was well worth the price! Only drawback is not being able to tip the pilots in cash, but you have to go through an online registration.. rather let us give cash :)

This experience was absolutely incredible! I get motion sickness very easily and even prepared for it ahead of time, but honestly, I probably didn’t need the Dramamine or the ear patch. I was also facing a fear of heights, and once we got up in the air and leveled out, I realized it was silly to have been that worked up. At first I had white knuckles from gripping the bar, but Clay made sure we were comfortable and talked me through the takeoff process (while my wife was having a grand ole time). This was the first time my wife and I had ever done anything like this, and Clay—our pilot—was awesome. He got us so close it felt like you could reach out and touch everything around you. I had worked myself up so much that I almost didn’t go, but I knew how much it meant to my wife, so I pushed through the nerves. I’m so glad I did, because sharing this experience together was something truly special. For the price, I thought it was very reasonable compared to other charter tours. They seem to be on the more affordable end, especially for a doors-off experience—which is honestly the only way I’d do it again. Having the doors off gives you so much more airflow, which I’m convinced is why I didn’t get sick at all. All in all, Clay and Mei were wonderful. From check-in to landing, you’re always in good hands. Highly recommend!

We had a great time on our off door helicopter tour of Kauai with Stuart. We got up close to many waterfalls and the coastline. It was our favorite experience on the trip and a must-do on your vacation in Kauai!!

Private is the way to go!! We felt totally confident with our pilot, even though we were in a helicopter about the size of an Asian TukTuk! But our unobstructed views, circular rainbows, waterfalls and the exquisite beauty of Kauai were so worth it!! Highly recommend!

Second time booking through Alii & both times were amazing! The hour is full of the most beautiful views. I loved the doorless option to fully capture the beauty of the island. I went with 2 friends and we all got great 360 views! Would definitely book again!
Be sure to do it when visiting Kauai

This was an incredible experience. Travis the pilot put us at ease. The weather was perfect and as we flew over Jurassic Falls, the playlist was perfect. We had amazing closeups of the canyon and the coast. The check-in was simple and safety view was clear and concise. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I was so glad I booked with this company. We did not have to share with strangers so it was a perfect private experience. Would book with them again for sure.
A must do for all adventurous souls. You only live once!
