Recently did the Doors Off helicopter tour on Kauai with Jack Harter. The overall experience was one of the best tours I have done. We were picked up at the Cruise terminal, along with a couple of other passengers and then dropped back at Avis to pick up a car for the day, so travel was easy. Intro and safety briefing were top notch and made to feel very secure and safe. The flight itself, with our pilot Arthur was simply amazing. Doors off is the only way to go. Got to see so much of Kauai up close and personal. Cannot recommend this experience high enough!
