Kauai helicopter tour
Reviewed by: Stacy
This tour was so amazing! Our pilot was knowledgable and they played fun music during the ride. We saw all the areas of the island that you cannot access. So many waterfalls, Wamea Canyon and the NaPali coast. We plan to come back and to this again with our kids.

Kauai Shore Excursion: Waimea Canyon, Wailua River Cruise & Fern Grotto Tour
Breathe Taking Waimea Canyon
Reviewed by: CMJ
Do yourself a favour by not missing this awesome natural spectacle that is Waimea Canyon if you’re visiting Kaua’i.
The vastness, colours and wildlife are extraordinary.
Wailea River Cruise was average. Staff on the barge were friendly and polite, like all Hawaiian people we have met. But their attempt at humour was off, but more importantly not even close to being funny. The main female host tried sharing information/history along the river, but kept making mistakes and forgetting what she was saying!
Fern Grotto, was disappointing, not only because you can no longer enter the cave due to safety, but I’ve seen better natural amphitheatres.
Still worth seeing as it’s part of the package.
Our tour guide Leonme from Roberts Hawaii Tours was awesome. Very funny, very informative.

Totally worth it!
Reviewed by: Cecilia
We loved the plane ride, checking in was smooth, they took pictures of us with the plane which was nice, and the employee and pilot were very friendly and helpful. We booked last minute but we felt welcomed nonetheless. The plane ride had a smooth take off and landing. And of course, the view was so amazing along with the pilot telling us all about Kauai!

Kauai Nature Photography & Private Charter Flight - Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours
Fantastic! Would book again next time in Kauai!
Reviewed by: SL
Fantastic! Would book again next time in Kauai! Pilot was very informative and knowledgeable about the terrain. View and phenomenal and the pictures were beautiful and clear with the doors off.
Mahalo for the fantastic review! 🚁🌈 We're thrilled you had such a great time flying with us over beautiful Kaua‘i! The doors-off experience really does make those views (and photos!) next-level, and we're so glad your pilot helped make it both informative and unforgettable. We’d love to welcome you back for round two whenever you're back on the island—there’s always more magic to see from the sky! 🌺📸

Booking this activity was a breeze and emailed instructions made it very helpful. This was my husband and I's favorite thing we were able to do in Kauai. The views you are able to see from the helicopter with the doors off was amazing.
Aloha and mahalo nui loa for the kind words! 🌺 We're so happy to hear that booking was smooth and that flying with us ended up being your favorite part of your Kaua‘i adventure—what a compliment! 🚁💨 The doors-off views really are something special, and we’re thrilled you got to experience the island’s beauty from that unforgettable perspective.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore
A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai
Reviewed by: California tourists
Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.
We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore
It struggled to be too comprehensive.
Reviewed by: John
My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Informative tour for first timers in Kauai
Reviewed by: NMP
My family and I had never been to Kauai and I wanted to book this tour as it had some fun things to do. Rosario was a great tour driver, very funny and knowledgeable and safe driver. We went to Opaekaa Falls, then went on a river cruise on the wailua river to the fern grotto (while on the boat we learned how to hula and enjoyed listening to the smith family singing and dancing hula). Then we went to Waimea canyon aka the Grand Canyon of the pacific- pictures do not do it justice. Very breathtaking. Then we went to kauai coffee plantation where we sampled amazing coffee and finally went to see the spouting horn. Overall a great tour with Rosario

Waimea Canyon Guided Sightseeing, Kokee State Park Nature Walk & Coffee Tour
Good overview of part of the island - wish we had more time in Waimea Canyon
Reviewed by: Alex
We enjoyed the tour overall but wish we had more time and one or two more stops around the Waimea Canyon. The tour takes in a few different spots across Kauai, but the real highlight is the Canyon. So it's a shame to only get a few different opportunities to stop and take photos. The tour picked us up and dropped us off promptly, and our guide Rosario told us a bit about the island and it's history, which we liked. The lunch provided was better than we expected. If we had the chance again, we would drive to the Waimea Canyon itself to explore it independently. If we had to take a tour again, we would consider this one as we felt overall it was good, if not perfect.

Superb tour!
Reviewed by: LammyP
We thoroughly enjoyed this sightseeing tour, with driver & guide, Kaleo. He was helpful, informative and hilarious! Stories, quips and jokes all day long. We even learned how to pronounce "humuhumunukunukuapua`a"! We saw some highlights of the beautiful island of Kaua`i including the spouting horn blow hole and we were lucky enough to get a clear view of the waimea canyon, before the clouds rolled in! We had a tasty lunch at chicken in a barrell and sampled delicious coffee at the Kaua`i coffee plantation. The trail at the state park is very short and the order of the stops is different to that listed on the veltra site, but regardless we would 100% recommend this tour.
