We recently took an Air Ventures tour circling the island of Kauai...what an incredible experience!!! The plane has oversized windows and holds just 6 passengers, so it seemed like a private tour. One fortunate passenger (Laura below) was even able to sit in the co-pilot seat for the entire flight!
Our pilot T.J. was wonderful (and funny) and interactive, describing what we were seeing along the way. He even spotted some whales and circled them twice to make sure we had an incredible view. In addition, two of our fellow passengers had arrived by passenger ship, so T.J. made sure to fly over the ship on our return to the airport...it was very, very cool!
In addition to T.J., everyone we came into contact with from Air Ventures was great...starting with the young lady who took our reservation over the phone, kept us updated on the status of the flight, and greeted us when we arrived. What is very special about Air Ventures is that it is a family owned and run local business. We know this because we were assisted by Jill, a co-owner, who couldn't have been more kind and helpful. After our flight she even returned us to our hotel (Kauai Marriott Resort) instead of us getting a taxi or Uber.
This was our final adventure before heading back to the mainland and it was the perfect way to conclude our trip.
Thank you Air Ventures!!!
