The best in helicopter tours in Kaua‘i! With over 70% of the island being inaccessible by land, Kaua‘i is truly best seen from the sky. On this incredible 50-minute helicopter tour of Kaua‘i, you’ll experience views so beautiful they will take your breath away. Registration is required 45 minutes before departure at the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters office at Lihu‘e Helipad #8.
The journey begins with a flight over the spectacular Hanapepe Valley, then continues to Manawaiopuna, commonly known as “Jurassic Park Waterfall,” wedged in between the emerald green mountaintops. You then ascend the Olokele Canyon before continuing to the dazzling Waimea Canyon, the famous “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” where you’ll explore many hidden waterfalls.
Next, the sculptural masterpiece that is the Na Pali Coast, with its sculpted green valleys and 3,000-foot sea cliffs, gives way to the Bali Ha‘i cliffs, the pristine blue waters of Hanalei Bay and the Princeville Resort area. Lastly, weather permitting, your pilot will fly you to Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, the heart of the dormant shield volcano. It is the wettest spot on the planet, with an average annual rainfall between 11,500 and 12,700 mm. Flying through the center of the crater surrounded by 1,500-meter-high slopes and waterfalls up to 900 meters, is a truly awe-inspiring finish to this Eco-Adventure over the “Garden Isle.” The tour routes and landscapes seen may vary according to wind and other weather conditions.
