Our helicopter tour was the highlight of the trip so far. What a way to see the whole island of Kauai. Our pilot Robert was great. We saw everything. I was amazed at how safe I felt. Would definitely recommend not skipping this!

The helicopter flight was great - one of the best so far.
The staff was professional, and the facilities were new and clean. They gave us the phone harness and the wind breaker (which was essential).
The pilot - Steve - was experienced and guided through the entire flight giving us confidence.
The fly around the volcano was the most amazing of all.
The doors-off does present windy conditions on top of already windy (in addition to the lift from blades). So if you are on the edge seats, be ready to enjoy the ride with strong winds hitting your body and the face.

Even though I knew the lei greeting was going to happen-it was still exciting to see our name being held up by Dan with an arm full of orchard lei's. Dan was as excited as we were to be in Kauai, he was super careful in checking to see if our 1-year old grandson wanted his lei (Mom got it) and even graciously took our family picture under the Kauai sign at the airport.
I highly recommend a welcome onto the island with an orchard lei. It made me want to kick my shoes off, grab an umbrella drink and run to the beach as fast as I could!
Thank you Dan and Kauai Fresh Flower Greeting for making this such a great beginning to our visit.

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!!!

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.

I booked for 3 people in my family. I was so concerned about the weather being good because the forecast didn’t look great. The day of our flight came and it was looking sunny however I was feeling under the weather. Our flight was scheduled for 11:30. The company called us to reschedule because they were having technical issues. I thought that would be good and hopefully I’d be feeling better the next day. Unfortunately I was feeling worse and the weather was super cloudy. I called them to let them know I was sick but my husband and daughter could still make it. They said I couldn’t get a refund unless I went to the ER and had a Dr write a note. Really? The Emergency Room? It would’ve cost more than the flight. I took a Covid test and it was positive so I chose not to risk infecting others and gave them plenty of notice. The weather never cleared but they flew anyway. my husband and daughter said it was beautiful but rainy and cloudy. They loved seeing views that you couldn’t see otherwise especially the waterfalls. Air Kauai was able to fill my seat so while they actually made money I was out the money AND the experience. I wouldn’t recommend them.

Great experience throughout. Everyone acted professionally, equipment was ready, instructions were clear and yet everyone was cordial, even funny. Adam, the pilot, was engaged during the entire flight and the flight was very smooth. And I can't imagine doing this in a helicopter with doors on. Money very well spent; THE highlight of our 10-day, 2-island Hawai'i vacation.

This was an amazing way to experience the island of Kauai! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Our pilot was fantastic--besides being a great pilot, he was full of information, kind to the children of the family that was also on board with us, and gave us many suggestions of possibilities of where to go or what activities to do. I would definitely suggest going on this experience to those who visit the island.

I have hiked Kalalau Trail, stayed Ko ke e state park, took a boat tour to Na Pali coast and tried to see the coast line from all the angle. This Air tour is definitely one of the addition to it. By looking at the coast line from sky gives me more history of how the structure was created.
It was great view with a nice perfect weather with a good tour guide/pilot. He was very informative about buildings, natures, movie sites, tourist information, etc.
This air tour was more affordable than a tour with helicopters. It is a really nice addition to a budget traveler who want to see the island from sky, expanding the scope.

When I knew I was bringing my kids to Kauai, this was the number one experience I wanted to share with them. I had done a similar flight over 25 years ago with my family and had never forgotten it. We booked the flight easily through Veltra (when trying to book all our experiences in one website).
From the moment we got to the offices their staff were friendly and their safety protocol was top notch (which also included Covid safety restrictions as well while we were there). They fit my family of three with another couple and off we went. The views were breathtaking! It was so hard to believe that views you can usually only see in a movie or TV show we’re playing out before your very eyes. I will never forget passing by Jurassic park waterfall with the soundtrack playing in my ears. I love things like that!
The pilot was constantly telling us about different things we were seeing telling us what to expect in the rest of the trip as far as directions. She was also very attentive and offered to fly back a smoother route when unfortunately one of my kids did have side effects from the motion.
I can’t wait to go again and maybe I will try there helicopters on the various different islands. It is an unforgettable experience and so worth the money. I wish we would’ve bought our DVD now!
