We offer airplane tours too! Enjoy a fantastic, low-cost way to see Kauai from the air. The route is similar to that of a helicopter tour, but the perspective is different. Airplanes provide a broader, more expansive viewing experience that is breathtaking. While helicopters can get closer to specific sites, the view from an airplane is equally stunning. Additionally, airplane flights are more affordable. We offer group charters for up to six passengers and private tours for 2-3 passengers.

How to Get the Best Front Seats on a Kauai Helicopter Tour
A helicopter tour in Kauai is one of the most breathtaking experiences you can have in Hawaii. Soaring over towering waterfalls, lush valleys, and the rugged Na Pali Coast, you’ll witness landscapes that are nearly impossible to reach by land.
Most helicopter tours accommodate up to six passengers, and while every seat offers an unforgettable experience, the front seats provide the best panoramic views with minimal obstructions. If you want the best view in the house, here’s how to secure those coveted front-row seats!
1. Book Early for the Best Selection
Helicopter tours in Kauai fill up fast, and the front seats are the first to go. The best way to improve your chances is to book your tour in advance. When making your reservation, be sure to mention your preference for front seats and ask about availability.
👉 Book now at KauaiHelicopterAdventures.com to secure your spot.
2. Meet the Weight Requirements
Helicopter tours follow strict weight distribution rules to ensure safety. Each company has slightly different guidelines, but in general:
✅ The combined weight of the two front-seat passengers must be under 350 lbs.
✅ Individual passengers must not exceed 240 lbs to sit in the front.
✅ If a passenger is over the limit, they may need to purchase an extra seat.
The seating arrangement is determined by the pilot and tour company for proper balance, so meeting these weight requirements greatly improves your chances of getting front-row access.
3. Upgrade to Guarantee Front Seats
Many helicopter tour companies offer a front-seat upgrade for an additional fee. If sitting up front is a priority, this is the easiest way to guarantee the best views. When booking online at KauaiHelicopterAdventures.com or calling to reserve, ask about this option.
4. Consider Booking a Private Tour
If you want a guaranteed front seat and an exclusive, personalized experience, booking a private helicopter tour is the way to go. Private tours allow you to:
✔ Choose your seat
✔ Enjoy a more intimate, VIP experience
✔ Customize your flight route
