Kauai Eco Adventure Helicopter Tour

3.Kauai Eco Adventure Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,032 reviews · 50 minutes (approx.) · from $449

See Kauai from a six-seat Eco-Star helicopter, with Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast, Jurassic Park Falls, and Mt. Waialeale in 50 minutes.

“Our family traveled from va and Okinawa to vacation together. We booked the tour to see the island. The pilot (Robby) was amazing. His narrative of the island was very impressive. The flight was so smooth and exciting. Flying close enough to see everything and the background music made it even more exciting. As he navigated through the cliffs by the shore and mountain side we were at awe with the beauty of the island. Highly recommend flying with Robby on Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour through Viator. This was the best tour through Viator we have experienced so far. Thank you”

Review of Kauai’s doors-off Hughes 500 helicopter tour, with Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, waterfalls, prices, seats, and practical tips.

“Airborne aviation was so smooth, all the way from reservation to the ride. They were helpful with rescheduling and partial cancellation when one member of our party fell sick. Amy was a great pilot, and showed us the entire island with great communication. Nothing could have been weather. The weather cooperated of course, but that's not in oitlr control.”

Fly doors-off above Kauai’s waterfalls, canyons, Na Pali Coast, and Jurassic Falls on a private, all-window helicopter tour.

“My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon in Hawaii, and we cannot recommend Ali'i Kauai Air Tours & Charters enough! We did the open-door private helicopter tour, and it was absolutely unbelievable — hands down our favorite part of our trip to Kauai. This was actually our third helicopter experience, and it was by far the best one yet. Our pilot was amazing — so knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt completely comfortable the entire time. The views were breathtaking from start to finish, and the whole experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. If you’re visiting Kauai, this tour is an absolute must!”

Review of Kauai’s Na Pali sunset boat tour, with dramatic cliffs, whale sightings, dinner, drinks, practical tips, and honest advice on rough seas.

“This was a great tour to the Napali Coast. Prior to boarding the Catamaran, the captain came out and spoke about what to expect. She knew the seas were rough once we got out of the bay and warned everyone who might experience motion sickness. She gave you the option to reschedule or cancel if you felt you would get sick. Love when companies put clients ahead of profits! Once onboard, the crew were amazing and made sure everyone was comfortable. Plenty of beverage options from alcoholic drinks to non-alcoholic. They were prepared for anyone who might get motion sick. We even got to see the first whale of the…”
