This was a MUST DO excursion! Our pilot, Mario Salis, was very informative, a bit comedic, and extremely nice. The views were stunning! We even saw 2 whales. This was our 1st helicopter ride, but my fears subsided as soon as we took off. Don’t miss this.

This flight was one for the books! Doors off set this flight well above others we’ve taken by far. Our pilot Salis was outstanding how he handled the aircraft to make the trip totally comfortable and enjoyable was amazing. He got us so close to the canyon walls (safely) that you felt like you could see the walls clearly. Totally recommend this flight always! Top of our list of great experiences.

Air Kauai provided a fun and safe experience for my husband and I. We booked a private tour with the doors off. We've never taken a helicopter tour and I was nervous, but the pilot, Solis, was so professional and put our mind at ease with his 20 years of flying experience, and his clear love of flying as well as Kauai. He provided so much information about the island, and even took us by sites we wanted to visit during our stay on the island. I was worried about motion sickness which I've had parasailing due to the up and down motion. I let Solis know and he checked on me throughout the flight. The ride was steady and I never once felt sick. He prepared us for any motion due to the wind conditions, which wasn't often. He was very knowledgeable about how various weather conditions affected the helicopter which made me feel even more at ease. The doors off is a must! Unobstructed magnificent views! I was anticipating feeling unsafe when we turned, or if there was any shaking due to winds, but that was not the case at all. If my body moved at all, it's because I was leaning over my husband to get a good photo! It is windy so wear pants and a sweatshirt. I had my hair in a ponytail, but I lost about 10 strands of hair when I removed the headset, so really secure your hair if you don't want to deal with that. No hats allowed, but you can wear sunglasses. I can't gush enough over the scenery you'll see. The Napali Coast, and the Wai'ale'ale Crater at the center of the island. Truly incredible! The staff is so kind and helpful. We spoke with them prior to the trip which was helpful. Their building sits behind FedEx. You can't see the building from the main road, but you can call them and they'll guide you. Thank you to the entire team at Air Kauai, especially our talented pilot Solis!

Great private experience. The clouds and occasional rain actually made for unexpectedly great views with rainbows and clouds flowing over the mountain tops. It was a little windy as pilot nicely warned in case we might get sick, but he handled it well and it was a great flight. Pilot was very nice, pointed out some key areas of interest, and got us around the island safely. Highly recommend!
