Find the Right Kauai Air Tour
Much of Kauai’s most spectacular scenery can only be fully appreciated from the air. Most island flights follow a clockwise route featuring Manawaiopuna (Jurassic Park) Falls, Waimea Canyon, the Nā Pali Coast, Hanalei Valley and, when weather allows, Mount Waiʻaleʻale. Tour times generally range from 45 to 60 minutes. For the most exhilarating views and outstanding photo opportunities, consider a doors-off flight.
