About Air Ventures Hawaii - Discover Kauai Air Tour
See Kauai from end to end on a full-island flight aboard a GA-8 Airvan, with big windows and no middle seats getting you closer to the view from the moment you leave Lihue. The route begins over the south side of the island, passing landmarks such as Menehune Fishpond, the eucalyptus Tunnel of Trees and Waita Reservoir.
From there, the scenery opens into some of Kauai’s best-known landscapes. You’ll fly over Waimea Canyon before reaching the Na Pali Coast, where steep cliffs, hidden beaches and deep valleys meet the Pacific. The route continues past Lumahai Beach and into Hanalei Valley, where waterfalls run through the green interior.
On the east side, the flight passes near Kilauea Lighthouse and its frigate bird sanctuary before following the coastline back toward Lihue, with more waterfalls appearing along the way.
