My husband and I took a more expansive version of this helicopter adventure in late November, with a forty minute stop midway through in which we landed atop a mountain bordering an immense ravine amidst an amazing eco-refuge (an option available on the Safari website).
Upon landing, the owner of the property, Keith Robinson, whose family has played an important role in Kauai for generations, came uphill and greeted our helicopter, personally showing us around the 15-acre mountaintop landing area that he works constantly in his quest to protect the island's most-threatened indigenous flora.
Undeniably breathtaking and informative, the tour was well worth the splurge, and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who stops on the island of Kauai. The pick-up from the cruise terminal was easy, the driver friendly (a fellow originally from Guam, named Jesse, with an unexpected fondness for country music), and the safety instructions given us beforehand clear and quick. Once in the air, the view quickly became stunning. In one moment we six tour-takers would be awing over a stretch of beautiful shoreline, only to be hanging in front of one of dozens of windblown, shoestring waterfalls a moment later, and then moving on to hover amid some massive crater, the whole time being informed by our quite knowledgable and friendly pilot, Kyle.
Truly an unforgettable experience. Someday we hope to go again.
