Explore the Garden Isle
Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauaʻi, the Garden Isle, from the air! Take a helicopter tour that will transport you to the stunning locations featured in iconic movies like Jurassic Park and King Kong. You will soar close to the waterfall seen in Jurassic Park, fly over the magnificent Waimea Canyon, and glide over the majestic Nā Pali Coast before returning to Līhuʻe. Upon landing, our knowledgeable guide will be waiting to accompany you on a hike of your choosing.
Fly Over Paradise
Waimea Canyon, on Kauaʻi's West Side, is described as “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Although not as big or as old as its Arizona cousin, you won’t encounter anything else like this wonder in Hawai'i. Stretching 14 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,600 feet deep, the Waimea Canyon has miles of crested buttes, rugged crags, and deep valley gorges.
You will also fly over the beauty of Nā Pali Coast, a breathtaking stretch of rugged coastline on the northwest side of Kauaʻi. From Ke'e Beach in Hā'ena State Park to Polihale State Park in Mana, this stunning 15-mile expanse will amaze you with its towering cliffs, sea caves, lush valleys, and majestic waterfalls cascading from thousands of feet above.
A Hassle-Free Trip
Begin your day by traveling to Honolulu airport and boarding a flight to Līhuʻe. Experience the striking difference between the energetic atmosphere of O'ahu and the serene charm of Kaua'i. Upon arrival, your guide will greet you at the airport and transfer you to the heliport. Following an exhilarating helicopter tour, they will then drive you to explore the wonders of the island. After an unforgettable day of exploration and creating lasting memories, you will return to Honolulu for your evening arrival.
