About Wings Over Kauai - Grand Deluxe Flight
See Kauai's dramatic scenery from above on a 65–70 minute fixed-wing flight departing from Lihue. The route covers a wide stretch of the island, including remote beaches, deep valleys, Waimea Canyon and the towering sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast.
The flight begins toward Kipu Kai before continuing to Hanapepe Valley and the Jurassic Park waterfall when weather permits. From there, soar above Waimea Canyon and follow the coastline north, where inaccessible bays, waterfalls, sea caves and steep ridges come into view along Na Pali.
The route also includes Hanalei Bay, Bali Hai and the waterfalls behind Hanalei Valley before reaching the crater below Mt. Wai'ale'ale. During winter, you may also spot humpback whales offshore. An agricultural narrative created by owner and chief operating pilot Dr. Bruce Coulombe adds another perspective to the landscapes below.
