Fabulous, one of the highlights of our travels around the world. You will not regret doing a tour with Airborne Aviation. Skillful pilots, who work on rescue jobs also, and a great friendly and unhurried ground crew. The flight was amazing and the commentary of what we were viewing was short, and to the point. Great photography possible due to the 'no doors', but there is wind blast from the blades, of course. But, I was a comfortable Canadian in shorts and a t-shirt. Enjoy!!

This was the best adventure my wife an I did no Kauai. We were short on time and were having trouble finding a helicopter flight to go on and we’re told by other companies that they were just booked. A quick call to Airborne Aviation and an explanation of what we needed and the time frame we had and before we knew it they had us booked on a 8am tour the next day. Being close to the weight limit had me wondering if we could even go on a helicopter tour but they worked with us and got us in the air. Really glad we went on the 8am tour as there was almost no clouds. Love the doors off experience in the MD500. I have flown in a bunch of different helicopters and this is my favorite. Wayne our pilot did a great job of getting us up close to everything and making it a fun flight. The ground crew did an awesome job of getting us ready, it felt like we were hanging out with friends when they were getting us prepped. Next time I’m in Kauai I’m going to do the same tour again.
