Flying with Air Ventures is not just a cheaper alternative to taking the more expensive helicopter tours!
You get a full hour tour with a great guide and pilot (Joel) to tour all of the major sights of the island and see things you cannot see from the ground.
The plane is specially designed for low speed flying and much quieter than the helicopters. You get a headset and microphone to enable two way communication with the pilot.
You will see the harbor, the entire western coast (NaPali), Kalalau Valley, Hanalei Bay, Princeville, numerous waterfalls, the Powerline Trail, Mt. Waialeale, coffee plantations, Wailua Falls, and many other sights.
This was our fourth trip to Kauai but our first time to see the island from the air and it is well worth the money spent. Don't book with any other airplane or helicopter tour. Then report your experiences back to this website!
