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 Hawaiʻi. 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 Haena 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.
