Kauai’s true beauty shines on this tour

Melanie_G, Jun 2022

You can’t imagine how beautiful the landscape is until you see the places from a helicopter. Highly recommend and Safari was great. We loved our pilot Kate. She was knowledgeable, funny and an excellent pilot.

Amazing first helicopter ride

Lauren_O, Jun 2022

This was my first time ever flying in a helicopter and it was amazing. The staff were very kind and reviewed the overall flight, safety protocols and if you feel sick. I few with Max at the 1320PM flight. Definitely a bit toasty if you’re not used to heat and wearing all black as requested to help with photo glare, but there is air blowing on you which is helpful! Max was a phenomenal pilot. The take off, overall flight and landing were incredibly smooth. Max was also very informative and provided a lot of education throughout the trip. This was probably the best helicopter flight I could have asked for, especially for a first time. Definitely recommend this flight and company!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Aloha Lauren! We are so pleased to hear that your first helicopter ride was an enjoyable one. Mahalo nui for your review and recommendation!

Kate wAs great pilot and guide. It was a great experience. I was able to get up close and personal with many parts of the island. This flight was the highlight of my trip to Kauai! A very nice helicopter to be in with floor to roof windows. Take the early morning flights to get great looking photo.

Aloha Greg! So glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience from start to finish. We look forward to seeing you next time:-)

We highly recommend this tour! It's worth the money!

Brad_R, May 2022

This was our first helicopter tour and we highly recommend it. Most of Kauai is unattainable by regular roads and the interior and Na Pali coast is absolutely amazing. There is a reason it's called the Garden Island. It is lush with trees and foliage and this tour gives you a once-in-a-lifetime look at a 6 million year old island. The pilot was very knowledgeable and competent, giving us great information about the different features and history of the island and made full 360 degree views at key points so everyone had a great view. The helicopter holds 6 and they assign you seats based on your weight to optimize distribution. Wear dark clothing so that your reflection doesn't show up in your pictures and video. If you encounter a brief rain shower (it's the second-wettest place on earth), don't bother taking pictures until the rain dries off of the canopy. It only takes seconds. Highly recommend this tour. It's worth the money!

Response from Host, May 2022

Mahalo nui for this very thoughtful review and recommendation to others. So glad you enjoyed the experience. With warm regard and appreciation, Your Safari Crew

Great experience from start to finish. Our pilot Max was a great pilot and was full of interesting information about the island.

Loved it!

Michael_G, May 2022

It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to fly in a helicopter. I was thrilled to finally fulfill that dream! It was an amazing experience. Our pilot was wonderful and knowledgeable and the scenery was spectacular.

Even a baby can do it!

Justin_K, Apr 2022

There are few things in life that compare! I need you to book this immediately! The na pali coast cannot be beat! Plus we saw a million waterfalls. We went on with our 9month old son and he loved it! The crew was special! Do not let anything limit you to do this!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you so much for entrusting us with your family. We are pleased to hear that even your smallest family member enjoyed the experience. Mahalo nui from Your Safari Crew

Glad I did it once!

Natalise_K, Apr 2022

Pros: Beautiful views you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else! The landscape is so overwhelmingly gorgeous. Cons: Someone in our helicopter got sick and had to relieve herself in a bag. I don’t blame her because I started getting woozy, too. I wish someone had warned us to take Dramamine!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

We are so very sorry to hear that someone on your flight used the Aloha Bags. Believe it or not it's not a common occurrence but some of us have a natural tendency toward motion sickness. I am glad that you were still able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery.

Breath taking

Janis_K, Apr 2022

Kate was our pilot and she was great. The views were breath taking and information about Kauai was fascinating. Superb!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Aloha Janis! Mahalo nui for joining us for the Deluxe Waterfall Safari. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience.
