About Air Kauai Helicopters - Doors Off
Fly Kauai with the doors off on a 45-50 minute Air Kauai Helicopters tour over Hanapepe Valley, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast and Mt. Wai'ale'ale.
Feel Kauai's wild beauty rush past on a doors-off helicopter flight with nothing between you and the island below. Deep valleys, colorful canyon walls, towering sea cliffs and cloud-draped mountains come into full view as the aircraft sweeps across some of Kauai's most dramatic landscapes.
Fly above Hanapepe Valley and the layered ridges of Waimea Canyon before continuing toward the Na Pali Coast, where steep green cliffs rise directly from the Pacific. The journey also includes Mount Waialeale, one of the island's most striking interior landmarks, for a rare look at scenery that is difficult to reach from the ground.
