Helicopter & Air Tours on Kauai

Much of what Kauai is famous for cannot be reached by road: the cliffs of the Na Pali Coast have no coastal road, and the waterfalls of the interior are mostly seen from above. That is why flights are the most-reviewed group on this site, from Lihue and Princeville.

How to choose a flight

The cheapest flights are the two “Air Tour” listings at about €138–142 for 65 minutes. According to its description the first one covers Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast and waterfalls; the second is an hour-long scenic flight over cliffs, valleys and waterfalls. The helicopters cost roughly twice to three times as much, for flights of about one hour (Deluxe Waterfall Safari) to 90 minutes (Sightseeing Flight).

Doors-off flights are open to the air; one is a private doors-off flight and one is listed by Air Kauai. One Air Kauai flight is labelled “Doors ON”. Open doors are for photographers who accept wind; if you are unsure, pick doors on.

Flights depend on the weather and can be cancelled or moved. Look at the cancellation terms on the booking page, and book early in your trip so a cancelled flight can still be rebooked.

Good to know: Two of the nine listings are called “Air Tour”, cost about €140 and last 65 minutes; the photo on the first one shows a propeller plane, not a helicopter. Helicopter flights start at about €298 and go up to about €480. Check the aircraft, the flight length and whether doors are on or off on each booking page.
