excellent flight tour experience! - Wonderful flight with stunning views of Kauai despite iffy weather! A cloudy day meant that we had the choice to cancel or go ahead with the tour on our last full day on island — knowing we couldn't see Waimea or the Na Pali Coast. Our pilot, Nic, was very honest up front about what we would and wouldn't see, and seemed inclined to cancel. But he was obviously concerned with safety foremost and wasn't going to take chances, so we chose to go ahead with the trip — and are so glad we did! He made the most of everywhere we could get to safely, revising & explaining his plan as weather unfolded. Nic was very friendly & knowledgable, and obviously loves what he does. It was amazing to see by air many of the places we'd seen by foot or car... and the vast stretches of wild and inaccessable land.

This is a must do!! No question! - Amazing trip! We had two adults and two kids. My teenager got to ride upfront as co-pilot. The pilot brought us all around the island and he pointed out a lot of spots and provided background information. Absolutely worth the cost! The best thing we did on our Hawaiian vacation hands down.

Air Ventures on Kauai a MUST - Don't wait to go on this fantastic ride. Josh our pilot took us on an amazing trip around the island showing us all the most interesting points on the island. My 87 year old Mother in-law was worried about getting on and off the Aircraft, not a problem, with the very safe stairs and help from the ground crew it was absolutely not a problem. She had so much fun being able for everyone to have a window! The Air Van was smooth as silk even with the numerous clouds that day we were comfortable and felt safe the entire journey. You will not get to see what we did by driving around the island, this was truly the pinnacle of our trip! Highly recommend you or anyone take this excursion in paradise. Tell them you want Josh to fly you around, he is a skilled pilot I witnessed as we landed in a significant cross wind and he nailed it perfectly!

A Must-Do Tour - Incredible tour with Josh.
Good pilot with lots of info about Hawaii’s oldest island.
Really saw everything you’ve heard about or should know.
Even saw whales!
Highly recommended!
Definitely our families #1 choice - save your money for this…although it’s not inexpensive, it was worth it to us.

Worth every penny!!! - Josh was our handsome pilot who took us on a bucket-list experience over the island of Kauai. Words and photos can not describe the awe that we saw that day. It was a spectacular view of all the island has to offer - mountains, canyons, beaches, plantations and waterfalls!!!

Perfect flight for two - Quick Lyft ride from cruise ship, checked in and started right on time . The best thing is that my wife and I were the only one . For the price this is a great value. Weather was perfect and our pilot was great. He took us all over the island and narrated the whole trip. We took a ton of incredible photos and videos. This is one of the best ways to see the island since you can’t access most it by ground.
Highly recommended

Private Tour with Nick - We had an excellent private tour of Kaua'i with Nick as our pilot. He was very knowledgeable of the island and flew the plane safely for us. The experience was fantastic and the value of the tour was excellent. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone of our family member.
