Wow! What an incredible excursion. Words cannot describe the awe we took in. Our pilot...Eli? told us information on all of the sights- Kaua'i raised. He was also smooth w the flight. I was quite nervous but this was a highly recommended experience! To get so close to the waterfalls and see all the sights from multiple angles can't be experienced from the ground!

Experienced pilot. Informative. Phenomenal views. As a short person stuck in the back, had obstructed views, but what I did see was beautiful. Weight distribution is important for safety.

Arthur was a great guide and pilot. When we went it was cloudy and bumpy, but it was still a gorgeous view of the island. Arthur made sure we were all able to see the landmarks. It was stunning view of the island and one you cannot see driving!

Amazing Fly Over!
Edgar_P

I wanna start by saying that Oleathia was amazing in helping us out. We booked our helicopter tour and we switched the the days and times a couple of times. They where able to switched out our reservations every time I requested it. They where fast in responding back to me. The flight was awesome, beautiful view of the island and the pilot would tell us everything about each place we where flying. I will definitely be booking with them if I come back to visit the island again. Thank you for a beautiful fly around the island.

The company was very professional. The experience was great. The pilot was an informative narrator for the flight. I liked that he flew the helicopter so both sides could view the sights making it so there were no “bad” seats. I felt safe and comfortable. The views were unbelievable.

Very professional staff. Comfortable seats and we felt safe. Despite the noise of the engine, etc. the headphones were sufficient in cutting as much noise out, as possible. Our pilot, Russell, did a great job and we could hear him very clearly. The windows were great and we could could take great pictures even from the back seats. Kauai is beautiful!

Took the 9am ride with perfect conditions. Best way to end our Kauai trip after hiking around Have a and Waimea Canyon parks. Views from the middle back seat were obstructed but still enjoyable, definitely jealous of the front 2 seats. Pilot still did his best to manuever the helicopter in such a way that everyone was able to get good views. Every single moment we were in absolute awe. Ride actually lasted 35-40min rather than 55.
