Excellent Pilot Covered the entire Island.. We landed at noon in Lihue and boarded our tour at 3PM.It was a perfect way to start our trip.
Pictures came out pretty good but the glass and wing got in the way of most of them. Personal experience: amazing. They really do fly all over the island, little turbulence at the Na Pali Coast but expected due to the wind and as close as we flew to the mountains, I expected a lot rockier ride but it was very pleasant, very knowledgeable pilot about the area, points of interest and super patient - I went with my 8 year old and he entertained all his questions and made light fun of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park and all. Overall, very good experience and although I haven't seen the DVD it includes, I hope it shows the tour much better than I was able to capture - It's a nice perk. Headset provided was absolutely perfect cancelling all the noise and all. Getting to the airport's terminal for it was a little confusing but a quick call and the lady at front desk walked out to give directions and wave us in. Overall, no complaints and would highly recommend.
The entire family agreed that this air tour was the highlight of our Hawaiian Island trip. The views were spectacular and beyond belief. Our pilot, Eric, was a skilled pilot, gracious host, made everyone feel comfortable and made sure everyone had a great view. He narrated the entire trip and was very informative. We drove around the island over the next two days and there is no comparison to the scenery from the plane.
