Kauai Airplane Tours - See Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Jurassic Falls & More

Awesome way to see Kauai

Reviewed by: Susan G., 2024/07/19

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

Great views and knowledge driver

Reviewed by: Denice , 2024/07/07

We really enjoyed the trip to the Canyon, very knowledgeable driver and the scenery was magnificent. We did all the main sights in the four hour time. Good value for money. Back to the cruise ship in time for a late lunch and swim. Highly recommend.

Kauai helicopter tour

Reviewed by: Stacy, 2024/05/11

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 Excursions - Waimea Canyon, Waterfalls, Wailua River Cruise & more

Breathe Taking Waimea Canyon

Reviewed by: CMJ, 2024/05/05

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.

  • Opaekaa Falls

Totally worth it!

Reviewed by: Cecilia, 2024/05/04

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!

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

Awesome adventure for our family of 4!

Reviewed by: Jamie Straatsma, 2024/04/08

My husband and two teenagers loved this kayak adventure! Our guides were very friendly, funny and calm. Jay was very informative and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the island and its culture. He did a wonderful job preparing us for our journey and guiding us through the river and ocean. We did make the journey to the farthest beach on the ocean and it was well worth it! We snorkeled with some sea turtles and enjoyed our time at the beach.

It was a great way to finish up our trip on Kauai. I appreciate all that our guides did to inform us and keep us safe as well as teach us about the island and its culture. I would highly recommend this!

  • There's a reef out there with sea turtles galore!

  • My family and our two guides, one was in training

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Jamie,

You went on our other "Secret Tour"!

Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon is slowly getting more recognition and Jay and our other rive/ocean guides are very responsible for this trend.

Jay is great in the field and to work with and as the summer season comes up with us, often is guiding and sea kayaking the more rigorous Na Pali coast.

Thanks for sharing your kind words, as I will with Jay.

Stay active and well.

A hui hou,

Very knowledgeable Pilot. The views were majestic and gave me little room for surpassing this experience in any other location. The Jurassic trail was overwhelmingly beautiful. The Napali coast line is like a dream. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Steven as your pilot.

Aloha Kara,

So you saw our Humuhumunukunukuapua`a, state fish. Pretty cool. Did you sea turtles?

Lately we also have been seeing once in a while little pods of Spinner dolphins.

We try to have fun and keep everyone safe on our Hanalei River and Bay paddle.

Thanks for sharing.

The Humuhumunukunukuapua`a is waiting your return.

Kayak Kauai

Reviewed by: LarryJ, 2023/07/14

Great crew. They did underestimate the difficulty of the kayaking in the ocean to the snorkeling beach. Very tough for some in my group. Otherwise great day. Food OK.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Larry,

We try to be candid in all our tours about the intrinsic effort and matching folks to the right tour.

Yesterday, clients on the same tour, felt while they did not need a guide to get to the snorkeling beach off Hideaways, that having the guide(s) made for a richer experience.

That said your review helps others choose the correct tour.

In spite the toughness…thanks for giving us 4 stars.

Awesome airplane tour. Great pilot/tour guide.

Reviewed by: Christine , 2023/04/29

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!

amazing experience

Reviewed by: Martina V., 2022/10/31

It was our first time in such a tiny plane. The flight was full of incredible views over almost whole Kauai with interesting information from the pilot including the music from movies filmed on this island. He used more different angles during the flight over the main spots - for example Napali Coast so we could really enjoy the splendor of nature. Can highly recommend this company for a flight.
