About Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours - Private Kauai Experience
Fly Kauai on a private 55-60 minute Mauna Loa Helicopters tour for 2 to 3 passengers, with doors-on or doors-off options and views of Jurassic Falls, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast and Mt. Wai'ale'ale.
Enjoy Kauai's emerald cliffs and hidden waterfalls on a helicopter reserved exclusively for your party of two or three. Your pilot navigates toward Manawaiopuna Falls—famous from Jurassic Park—before banking over the rainbow-layered chasm of Waimea Canyon and tracing the serrated Na Pali Coast where valleys open to secluded sandy coves.
The finale is a slow orbit of Mount Wai'ale'ale Crater, so often veiled in mist that its sheer walls glisten with countless cascades. Whether you choose doors on for a cozier ride or doors off for an open-air thrill (both options offered at no extra cost), uninterrupted views and stunning photo angles are guaranteed.
