From check-in to touchdown

Here’s how the adventure unfolds.

01

Meet your aircraft.

Meet us at the location and time on your confirmation. We check your passenger details, assign seats for aircraft weight and balance, and guide you through the safety briefing.

02

Watch Kauai unfold.

As Kauai opens up below us, valleys, ridgelines and coastline take center stage. Our pilot shapes the route around the day’s conditions and the flight you booked.

03

Bring the view home.

Enjoy the scenery, take your photos with an approved camera or phone, and settle in for the return. You’ll leave with a new perspective on the island you’re exploring.

Start with the feeling

What’s your kind of flying?

20 minutes

A shorter helicopter introduction focused on the island’s green interior.

45–50 minutes

A scenic helicopter experience for a broad look at Kauai’s highlights.

55–65 minutes

Longer helicopter options with more time to take in the scenery.

All airplane flights are 60 minutes. Helicopter flight lengths vary by tour. Check-in and briefing time are additional. A longer flight offers more time in the air, but no duration guarantees a particular landmark.

A glimpse of the journey

Views that stay with you.

Scenery shown is illustrative. Routes, visibility and landmarks depend on the selected flight, weather and pilot discretion.

Make the most of it

A little planning. A better flight.

01

Fly early in your stay.

Leave room in your itinerary for weather-related rescheduling. An early flight also gives you a useful overview of the island.

02

Choose your seat experience.

Review the cabin diagrams on each tour page. Some helicopters have interior seats, and specific seat requests are subject to weight and balance.

03

Dress for your aircraft.

Dark clothing helps reduce reflections through windows. For our doors-off flights, follow the footwear, clothing and secured-device instructions supplied for your tour.

04

Check the details before booking.

Review age and weight limits, the exact departure point, current fares and cancellation terms in the selected tour’s booking information.

Dreaming of something special?

Ask about private flights, larger groups, North Shore departures or tours that explicitly include a scenic landing. These options depend on availability and the selected flight. A standard sightseeing flight does not automatically include a landing or a custom route.

Your island. Your perspective.
