What a view!
Thomas_L, May 2022
Seeing the waterfalls and flying thru the canyons was a trip! The ride was much smoother than helicopter rides I have had before.
Response from Host, May 2022
Wonderful to hear Thomas! Kauai is so stunning by air. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review😊
Take this trip
Albert_V, May 2022
Ease of reservation, pick-up, and pre-flight instruction were mentionable. If you come to this island take this trip.
Response from Host, May 2022
Aloha Albert for the review. So glad you enjoyed the flight
Worth every cent!
Heather_G, May 2022
Wow! What an incredible excursion. Words cannot describe the awe we took in. Our pilot...Eli? told us information on all of the sights- Kaua'i raised. He was also smooth w the flight. I was quite nervous but this was a highly recommended experience! To get so close to the waterfalls and see all the sights from multiple angles can't be experienced from the ground!
Response from Host, May 2022
Aloha Heather, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review :) So glad you fully enjoyed your pilot and helicopter tour of Kauai. I would honestly say it is the most stunning flight out of all the islands......even over the big island volcano ❤❤
Amazing views.
Anonymous, Apr 2022
Experienced pilot. Informative. Phenomenal views. As a short person stuck in the back, had obstructed views, but what I did see was beautiful. Weight distribution is important for safety.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Aloha yes Kauai is most beautiful by air I would agree. everything is done by FAA weight and balanced regulations. Thank you for understanding

Seeing the island from above is incredible. Really gives you a feel for the magnificent landscape which is inaccessible any other way!
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Aloha Baruch, so happy to hear you had a bewildering experience. The helicopter does provide a unique perspective to the islands. Thank you for your wonderful feedback.

Stunning Views!
John_B, Dec 2021
Arthur was a great guide and pilot. When we went it was cloudy and bumpy, but it was still a gorgeous view of the island. Arthur made sure we were all able to see the landmarks. It was stunning view of the island and one you cannot see driving!
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thank you John for taking the time to leave a review. So glad you enjoyed your pilot Arthur and the beautiful island of Kauai. 😊
Must Do!

Amazing Fly Over!
Edgar_P, Sep 2021
I wanna start by saying that Oleathia was amazing in helping us out. We booked our helicopter tour and we switched the the days and times a couple of times. They where able to switched out our reservations every time I requested it. They where fast in responding back to me. The flight was awesome, beautiful view of the island and the pilot would tell us everything about each place we where flying. I will definitely be booking with them if I come back to visit the island again. Thank you for a beautiful fly around the island.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Thanks Edgar, you're making me blush! I most certainly was happy to help firsthand. Thank you for the wonderful review.....not too often the behind the scenes people like me get noticed. So this really made my day!😁
Worth it!
Cheryl_Q, Sep 2021
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of fun! Highly recommended to see parts of the island not usually accessible.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
So glad tp hear you enjoyed your flight and the staff! Thank you for joining us :)
Unbelievable views
Meggan_R, Sep 2021
The company was very professional. The experience was great. The pilot was an informative narrator for the flight. I liked that he flew the helicopter so both sides could view the sights making it so there were no “bad” seats. I felt safe and comfortable. The views were unbelievable.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Aloha, I'm so glad you mentioned no bad seats as that is one of the most things customers are usually worried about. So very glad you enjoyed your trip with us. Thank you for the review ❤
Nice flight
PierreOlivier_J, Sep 2021
Nice flight. We see every important site on the Island. Very safe pilot, veteran of Vietnam war. Weather was nice, not too cloudy.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Yes, Kauai is most stunning my the air for sure. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review :)
Heaven on Earth!

Response from Host, Sep 2021
Kauai island really is amazing by air. so glad to hear you enjoyed! Thank you for reviewing :)
Memorable Experience
Stephane_H, Aug 2021
Very professional staff. Comfortable seats and we felt safe. Despite the noise of the engine, etc. the headphones were sufficient in cutting as much noise out, as possible. Our pilot, Russell, did a great job and we could hear him very clearly. The windows were great and we could could take great pictures even from the back seats. Kauai is beautiful!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
So glad you enjoyed the flight! Thank you for the review ❤
It was epic!
Keegan_D, Jul 2021
This was worth every penny! The flight was amazing and breathtaking!!! The staff at sunshine helicopters were very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to see the island! You won’t regret it!!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Thank you, Keegan! I agree with you. I have personally done helicopter flights on every island and I have to say Kauai takes the cake! Thank you for the review
Must do activity
Christopher_H, Jun 2021
Great tour! Pilot was awesome!! Helicopter was new and clean. Would definitely do it again the next time I come to Kauai!!
Response from Host, Jun 2021
SO glad you enjoyed the Kauai flight! Yes there is a thorough cleaning done after every flight :)
Highly recommend
Phuonganh_L, Jun 2021
Took the 9am ride with perfect conditions. Best way to end our Kauai trip after hiking around Have a and Waimea Canyon parks. Views from the middle back seat were obstructed but still enjoyable, definitely jealous of the front 2 seats. Pilot still did his best to manuever the helicopter in such a way that everyone was able to get good views. Every single moment we were in absolute awe. Ride actually lasted 35-40min rather than 55.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Kauai really is a stunning place by air! Thank you for sharing your love for Kauai by air
Helicopter ride
John_L, Jun 2021
An awesome experience!! We saw more than we could’ve seen in a week of driving all over the island. Pilot was very knowledgeable and competent.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
I agree! Really the best way to see Kauai is by air. That Napali coat and Waimea canyon. Wow breathtaking! Thank you for the review
