- Kipu Kai - Our airplane tours uniquely include the stunning Kipu Kai and the entire Poipu shoreline of Kauai, areas that helicopters often miss. Enjoy extended whale watching opportunities along the Poipu shoreline.
- Waimea Canyon State Park - Soar over the entire Waimea Canyon, taking in numerous waterfalls below. The canyon’s brown, eroded landscape contrasts sharply with the lush greenery of the rest of the island. Known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” it’s a sight not to be missed.
- Manawaiopuna Falls (Jurassic Park Falls) - Weather permitting, we fly over this iconic waterfall, which consists of three cascades in a row. It’s one of the 100 waterfalls you’ll see on this trip, famously featured in the movie Jurassic Park.
- Mt. Waialeale - Often referred to as the Crater due to its three-sided walls, this site showcases Kauai’s abundant waterfalls. Flying alongside these waterfalls, just off the wing tip, offers an unforgettable experience we love to share with you.
- Hanalei Bay - Hanalei Bay is one of our largest and most beautiful bays. After passing the bay, we ascend Hanalei Valley, where hundreds of waterfalls, like ribbons of water, cascade from the sky, surrounding the plane with a mesmerizing view.

1st time Kauai couple! - Our pilot Marcus was awesome! He was very professional, informative and accommodating due to weather. The gal that checked us in was very kind, funny and friendly. The price was awesome as well! A lot cheaper than other places I checked out. We would highly recommend!

A most awesome experience! - This was the most awesome experience of our trip. You see a totally different side of Kauai by flying over the other side, not to mention flying over the while island. Saw whales in the ocean below us too. The pilot was just a perfect tour guide, just enough info during the flight, no jokes and unnecessary commentary like some other tour guides :) Really can't say enough about how terrific this excursion was, and it's only about a ten minute, at most, ride from the cruise ship terminal - took an uber both ways which cost about $15 each.

Great way to get an overview of Kauai - We did this on the morning of our first day. It was a great way to get oriented to the island and see all of the amazing sights. We both enjoyed it immensely. Would definitely recommend!

They were both friendly informative and full of Hawaiian style. I want to thank them both for making our trip completely amazing. When you takeoff in this plane, it feels like you’re floating on a pillow right up into the air. I’ve never felt anything like it much Mahalo to you guys and much. Aloha I gotta do it right 🌺

Great island overview - We originally signed up for the Cessna plane but it was damaged, so we went to the small 6 passenger plane instead, they were helpful in coordinating and giving us the lower price and refund. The process was well outlined in the emails and I felt pretty prepared, it was a little scary being unsure about possible turbulence but it was a sunny day with minimal problems and all went well! The pilot was professional and friendly and a good tour guide. Strongly recommended, it's not as low as the helicopters but you do get a bigger overview of teh whole island which is just what I wanted (and much cheaper)

Worth your time and money - I did a lot of research and decided this would be best for us. We were so happy it met our expectations. To see the island from a small plane was really fun. We even flew past our condo in Poipou. The Nepali Coast and the Waimea Canyon were the obvious highlights.
Props to our pilot, Koa. Great personality.

Enjoy the beauty of Kauai from the sky! - We highly recommend this adventure! Koah was our pilot. No worries at all about his flying skills. He grew up on the Island and provided a lot of history and stories which we really enjoyed. It was a great way to appreciate the majestical beauty of Kauai. Thank you!

Best Flight on Kauai , Hand Down! - Simply Amazing, This is the Best money you can spend! My wife, brother and his wife all took this flight. We booked the entire plane, which was only about $75 more than having 2 additional passengers. This allowed all 4 of us to sit on the right side, and enabling the pilot to focus on those sights vs trying to accommodate 6 passengers.
First, the flight was one of the smoothest small craft flights any of us had ever flown on, and my brother and I are Air Force Veterans. Additionally, my brother lives in Oahu, and has flown in several helicopter rides around the islands, and even he said this was hands down the best tour flight he had ever been on. The weather was very agreeable that day, but not perfect. Yet take off, in flight, and landing were like riding in a limo. Just smooth, relaxing, entertaining and educational.
Our pilot Andre was the best. He has lived on the island for many years and his general knowledge was outstanding. He pointed out everything as we flew and took us to every location that you would expect and more. Communication was easy with the headsets and Andre, from Minnesota, was just as cool as Chuck Yeager. The plane was clean and comfortable. Very easy to take photos and they all turned out so very good. A video of the entire flight was also available for sale an it is fabulous as well. Our family will love it.
I could ramble on and on, but if you are having any doubts about this plane flight vs a helicopter, in our opinion, having done both, this is the winner and NO QUESTION if you have a weak stomach.
I guess if I have anything negative to say its that when you come to a stop, you will not want it to be over. Just so much fun! You will see I am a frequent reviewer, so you know this is not a fake or paid review.
