Air Kauai

"If you are traveling to Kauai, you cannot miss out on seeing the island from above. After repeated recommendations that a helicopter ride is a must do, I booked this as a surprise anniversary gift the week before our trip. Feeling adventurous (and bound to capture great content), I opted for the doors off option and Air Kauai had a perfect safety record, which made me feel confident booking with them. Air Kauai was excellent. They operate out of a shipping container near the airfield and provided a great safety briefing, providing jackets, headphones and goggles to ensure you have a comfortable ride. From briefing, to the golf cart ride, to boarding the helicopter and enjoying the ride - everything was seamless. During the 45-minute tour, our guide provided a full history of the island as we explored it all - the Na Pali coast, Hanapepe Valley, Waimea Canyon, Mount Waialeale and more. This is hands down the best way to experience the dramatic coastline the canyons and the waterfalls. "
