First Time in a helicopter and I had the front seat. The views from the air are out of this world. Would love to see all of the island's this way. Purchased the DVD just for the wonderful information that Travis gave us. Too much to remember so get the dvd. Color on dvd is ok. Lots better live but it's our flight to remember forever. We saw places you can never see by car. A must do for everyone to see the beauty of Kauai. Thanks for the great time Blue Hawaiian and Dad and Janet for taking us on the tour. Loved it.

Our family of four took the helicopter ride with Travis.
Wonderful pilot, great tour guide.
3 of us have taken helicopter rides before, 1 was her first time.
She was able to sit next to Travis in the front seat. Her reaction was priceless!!!!!
We never get tired of seeing Kauai by air. Just breathtaking.
Made our travel (by car) on the island more enjoyable after seeing it from up above.

ナ・パリコーストは絶対に海から、空から眺めるのが良いという感想。私たち夫婦はこのダイナミックな景色を間近に体感できるこのツアーをお勧めします。野生のイルカが船と一緒に泳ぎ、ホヌののんびりした姿を垣間見ることができ ニイハウ島はなかなか近くまで行くことができないため このプランだと歴史のアナウンスとともに知ることができます。もちろん、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって美しいサンゴのスポットで自由に泳ぐことができます。このツアーには浮きやフィン、マスクなどがついてるので 水着と(あればウィンドブレーカーと長袖の水着がなお良い)身一つで参加できるので良いです。 ただ、船は大型で新しいもので快適ですが 途中と帰り道はかなり飛ばすので 船酔いには気をつけたほうがいいです。相当揺れます。(私たちの参加した日の海の状況がそうだっただけかもしれませんが)船酔いしないよ!と思う方でもぜひ船酔い止めをご持参ください。
船のなかでなく、甲板に立ちダイナミックな美しい景色を鑑賞しながらの参加がおすすめなのでウィンドブレーカーがあるととてもいいですよ。
こなれたカップルやご家族(海外の方)さんたちはそういう冒険グッズの用意が周到でした。
朝ごはんよりランチに出るバイキング形式のサンドウィッチが美味しいですよ★ビールも気軽に(シュノーケルのあとですが)飲めるので大人の参加が多かったように思います。

It's been 5 months since our Kauai vacation, and Aliya and I are still sharing our flight experience with friends. Every once in awhile we find a service provider that does everything right -- hospitality, value, and exceptional experience. Wings Over Kauai is such a company and I posted my pictures to your website so that others who might be contemplating a helicopter air tour can see just how fantastic the views were from your plane.

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.
It's wonderful to hear that, although there were alterations to the original tour route, you thoroughly enjoyed your time on the water and the overall experience! Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your great review! Mahalo and Aloha

Great helicopter tour for 1st timers to Kauai... we did this on the 1st day and got a great overview of the island. The pilot was very knowledgable and the rest of the staff friendly and helpful. They definitely had the routine at the store down and getting people to the helicopter on time. Better than expected :D

カウアイ島を訪れるなら絶対ナパリコーストには行ってみたかったので、今回ツアーに参加しました。
海からの眺めは本当に最高でした。大きくあいた穴がトンネルのように続いていたり、トンネルの天井部分に穴が開いていてそこに滝が流れ落ちていたりなどと、面白いポイントがたくさんあり、間近で見れて良かったです。
シュノーケリングも楽しめランチも美味しかったです。大満足のツアーです!

海の上から見上げるナパリコーストの洞窟や奇岩などは迫力満点で、絶景を堪能できました。美しい景観だけでなく、途中でイルカやクジラに遭遇したり、ウミガメや熱帯魚を間近に見るシュノーケリングが楽しめたり、とても内容の濃いツアーでした。またいつか参加してみたいです。

以前、ナパリコーストのトレッキングツアーに参加したことはあったのですが、どうしても海からの眺めも見てみたいということでツアー参加を決めました。
天候も良くクルージングは気分最高でした。真っ青な海で泳ぐイルカの群れを見たり、心地よい風を感じながら眺める壮大な景色に感動しました。岸壁や渓谷の迫力ある光景は今でも目に焼きついています。
シュノーケリングでウミガメを見るのを楽しみにしていたのですが、遭遇できなかったのは残念でした。でも、カラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海の中の世界はきれいでした!

カウアイ島といえばやっぱりナパリコースト!大自然の造形美が見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は天気も良く空は真っ青で、海はとってもきれいでした。ナパリの何百年もかけて造られた大自然は想像以上の美しさで、はっと息を呑むような壮大さでした。
シュノーケリングは、海の透明度バツグンで色鮮やかな魚たちや、運よく海ガメも見ることができとても楽しめました。
今回のクルージングでは素晴らしい景色を堪能できましたが、ただ船に乗る時間が長いので、船酔いをする人は酔い止め薬を予め飲んでたほうが良いと思います。
It was a pleasure to have you aboard, and we are so happy to know how much you enjoyed it! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

I am afraid of heights and I was really afraid that I would have to close my eyes, like when I go to some of the i-max theaters. This was so great, it was peaceful and calm. I loved every minute of it and wished that it had lasted longer and my eyes never closed. I think that it is a great way to see the coast line, but also the mountains and the poi fields in Hanalei. I would do it again.

Captain Chris and his crew took care to make sure every passenger was looked after and made to feel at home. Watching the sun come up on the Na Pali coast was spectacular and the snorkeling spot was to die for.
The water can be rough so take precautions for sea sickness.
This was a great trip. I personally didn't need to have the "Forbidden Isle" portion. It's forbidden because you can't go anywhere near it.
All said though - a very good trip!

We flew with Bruce a few years ago and had a wonderful flight. I was somewhat apprehensive since I have issuses with panic attacks, he was so kind and reassuring that it made the flight very comfortable. Kaui is such a beautiful island you get a different perspective from the air. We enjoyed Bruce's vast knowledge of Kauai from the air. He even let my husband do a little bit of the flying since he had his private piolts license. We highly recommend

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
We would go again in a heartbeat!!

両親と家族を連れて参加しました。
40名ほどの参加者のうち、日本人は私たちだけでした。
クルーはとてもフレンドリーですが、やはり船での注意事項や、スノーケルをする際の注意事項などすべて英語で説明されるので、グループの中で一人ぐらいは英語を話せる人がいないと不安だし、危険だと思います。
ナパリコーストは素晴しいし、ニイハウ島にも近くまで行けるし、イルカやクジラも近くで見れたのでとても良かったです。水もきれいで、スノーケルでも珍しい魚がたくさん見れました。
ただ、航海中は(いつもあんなに波が高いのかはわかりませんが)、ものすごい高波で何度も海に放り出されるのではないかと思う程のスピードと揺れが1時間近く続くので、船に弱い人は避けたほうが良いと思います。
若く、体力に自信があってスリルを楽しみたい人、更にある程度英語でコミュニケーションが取れる人でしたら、十分楽しめる内容だと思います。

ナパリコーストのシークルーズツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケルでは透明度が20m以上ありそうな場所でやらせてもらい、間近でアザラシが見れたり、お魚さんたちもいっぱい見れました。カウアイ島付近はとても波が荒いのですが、スタッフの方々が安全管理をバッチリしてくださるので、貸し出されたシュノーケルセットもきれいでサイズも多種そろえられているし、安心してシュノーケルすることができました。また、途中イルカの群れを3度ほど見れました。イルカの群れをいち早く発見し近づくとスピードを落としてサービスしてくれるのもいけていました。
ナパリコースと自体は、壮大で感動に値するものですが、私たちの英語力ではクルーの説明が理解できず、事前に日本語の説明がもう少しネットで見れたらもっと楽しめたかな、と思いました。が、そのときはそんなことを感じさせないくらい、天候にも恵まれ楽しくて仕方ありませんでしたけど!
当日は6時集合で少し早いですが、朝食も昼食もおいしいので大丈夫。途中、スナックやクッキーのサービスもあるし、トイレも清潔だし、困ることはなにもありません。ツアーに参加しているのは私たち以外ははアメリカ人で(40人はいたかな)、ちょっとおしゃべりできたりもして、それはそれで楽しかったです。
