About Air Kauai Helicopters - Doors Off
Kauai feels especially dramatic when there is nothing between you and the view. On this doors-off helicopter flight, valleys drop away beneath you, canyon walls show off their colors, and the island’s cliffs and mountains feel much closer than they do from the ground.
The route takes you over Hanapepe Valley and across the layered landscape of Waimea Canyon before reaching the Na Pali Coast, where steep green cliffs meet the Pacific. You’ll also fly toward Mount Waialeale for a look into Kauai’s lush interior and scenery that is difficult to experience any other way.
