ABSOLUTELY DO THIS!!!

The entire experience was excellent from the beginning. Every staff member was genuinely happy and loved their job and each other. Our pilot, Adam, blew all of our expectations out the window! He was so knowledgeable about the island, his skills were beyond exceptional and I cannot begin to recommend this experience enough!! We got to see the entire island, also a tiger shark!, and the waterfalls were like something in Avatar. Thank you all for this wonderful experience. Literally in the top 3 experiences of my life!!

Great experience no video

As amazing as the experience was the cameras wouldn’t work or were real blurry. We put the phones down and figured we would just pay for the footage. This didn’t work out and the best experience is now just a memory rather than a video

Won't do it again!

Changed flight 3 times on us, rude staff. Boring and short flight. Not even 45 minutes. Couldn't understand the pilot, unprofessional to have children running around

Operator response

Mahalo for the feedback; it is unfortunately you did not enjoy the beauty of Kauai from above on the helicopter tour. I do understand the frustration of your flight being changed and I will definitely be talking to the staff about attitude towards our guests so for that I do apologize.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your flight with Steve! He truly is one of the best and we are lucky to have him in our 'ohana. Mahalo!

Great experience.

I wish I could have been able to hear the pilot. Only one side works on the headset and the volume was low. Also the cameras that record the flight was broken. The flight was good. The pilot gave us amazing views.

Mahalo Andrew for the review and feedback.

We did this on our first day and then mapped out where we wanted to hit the rest of the trip. Wonderful way to see the island!
