Best Doors Off Helicopter Tour on Kauai - The pre-flight instructions were thorough. Kate was our pilot. Kate is a very seasoned, competent pilot. I’ve flown on approximately 300 helicopter flights and Kate is great. Kate also knows Kauai’s history and features. She took us through the valleys, canyons, waterfall areas, shorelines, explained history, rotated the helicopter gently to allow all passengers to get pictures, answered questions - it was obvious that she loves her job by the way she treats her passengers. It was my wife’s first flight and she loved it. I highly recommend Airborne Aviation and Kate!

Grandkids graduation trip with Meema - First time for me to helicopter w/no doors. I’m 82 years old & it was a blast for me to sit up front on the outside w/granddaughter in the middle. It was not scary at all to tilt sideways for better views. However, I spent many years flying with my husband in Cessna 170, which is a cousin to O1-E he flew in Vietnam 😊

Perfect!!!! - Super organized, very professional and friendly team. The Doors-off flight over the island was a great and unforgettable experience!!! Definitely a recommendation!
WhatsApp contact in advance kept you well informed. Long pants and wind-resistant jacket were recommended and definitely made sense.
There are lockers on site so valuables could be safely stored.

A must do in Kauai! - We went on the doors off helicopter tour with Adam as our pilot and it was one of the most incredible experiences we have had! It is stunning to see the canyon and the Nepali coast so closely from the air. We had done a dinner cruise up in a Polly shore, but this was hands-down the best way to see that area of the island. We got amazing photos and videos and overall made incredible memories!

1st time Helicopter riders- Exhilarating and memorable! - First time helicopter rider (w/ my 22 yr old daughter) and had a fantastic time. Amazing views of the island including Jurassic Falls, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast, Hanalei Bay and Mount Wai’ale’ale crater! Saw 100’s of waterfalls and the ride was manageable!
