5.00Little nervous initially tho this is not my first plane/helicopter excursion. Highly recommend as one of the ways to see and appreciate this island better is by air. Zack, tho young seemed well experienced and made this ride feel safe and informative. Reasonably priced and was indeed an hour long. I would recommend it to anyone!
Worth the money and time!

5.00This was an amazing way to see the whole Island! Getting an overview of the canyon and coast line was the highlight of our trip to Kauai! This was about half the cost of a helicopter ride which was a big deciding factor for our family of 5. Very friendly pilot and staff in the office.
Incredible views, bring dramamine

5.00A jaw droppingly beautiful experience. Would do again and again and again! With Dramamine. Our flight was VERY bumpy. We felt every little warm pocket of air coming off the mountains. They do provide a portable AC and cool washcloths to help combat motion sickness.
Great experience, whole family enjoyed

5.00Wow this was AMAAAAZING flying over the Jurassic world, seeing the turquoise waters, doing fun turns in the sky, seeing the Waimea canyon and remote waterfalls, seeing the coffee plantation with 4 million trees and having a very friendly fun pleasant and competent pilot to guide our tour through interactive headsets!

Amazing Experience

5.00This plane ride was the most exhilarating experience of my life. I used to be petrified of small planes, but the pilot made the experience so worth it! From his knowledge, to the care of which he handles his plane. The views were nothing short of cinematic. I’m glad this intimate experience changed my life for the better! 20/10 recommend for thrill seekers, sightseeing and those who love island history!
Great trip!

5.00Very fun and informative, the fixed wing tour can fly in higher winds that helicopters can't, still got great views and a great pilot who flew smoothly and was very pleasant.
Very poor experience. Cancelled when we arrived for the flight

1.00Very disappointing experience with this tour operator. They confirmed the activity the day before by text message but when we arrived the next day they informed us coldly that the trip had been cancelled. They initially said they had tried to reach us by phone and email as they had to cancel due to the weather but I checked my email and messages all morning before leaving for the trip and received no messages and while we were standing there speaking with them I received an email which was clearly typed and sent while they were speaking with us and the time on the email confirmed this. The weather was clear and we had watched several flights taking place that morning and other operators were still going up. They then admitted that as there were only two of us they weren’t going ahead. The apology didn’t feel sincere and it was supposed to be the highlight of our trip and we couldn’t make any alternative arrangements as everyone was fully booked
Adventure and value!

5.00We had a really wonderful experience! Maikai (not sure of spelling) was our pilot and we felt in very good hands. So cool to see some of the sites in the island that you can only see by air or boat. Also great communication and well organized. Highly recommend!
