Wow!wow!wow! How do you start a review with words, when this scenic tour takes them away.
Starting at the office, we felt so welcome. A quick 2min ride by luxury van to the helicopter to get kitted out with wind breaker jackets, goggles and life vest pack. We were ready, I did the outside position, if your adventurous and keen, do that. Totally safe, but illusion makes you feel like you could fall at any time. So if you still want to do the amazing doors off but are unsure, take a middle seat, very secure feeling, my friend did that seat. But if you totally want that amazing uninterrupted view, take the outside seat, be brave.
You start by going over the interior of the island, seeing the Waimea canyon…. Another wow. You’ll see up close and personal the waterfalls you’ll never see from a visit on the ground.
When you reach the Na Pali coast line, be prepared to be awed. Take time to sit and look, put the camera phone down ( they provide video of your actual trip, taken on your trip that day by cameras under the helicopter) so very worth seeing the spectacular coast from the air.
Our Pilot was amazing, he flew through canyons and up to waterfalls, was calm and informative. Let’s you know when it’s going to get bumpy from air currents when going into and over valleys. Thank you for taking great care of us. We see how you could live an island so much, I fell in love with Kauai too.
Do it, just do it. #airkauai doors off tour.
