This experience is one of, if not the best way to see the island of Kauai. You get to see views that are really not available to see by anywhere else but by air. We got to fly into the Crater of the old volcano which was amazing to see.

The staff were outstanding and the pilot (Kate) did a wonderful job flying and narrating our trip. We needed assistance due to my use of a walker, and everyone bent over backwards to make this a great experience.

This was a highlight of our trip. Having the doors off changes the entire experience. No windows in the way of photography. Windy and noisy, but wow. A lot of fun.

Brilliant experience. Especially with the “doors off” trip. From start to finish we were well informed and looked after. I would highly recommend this experience.

The portable toilets near the entrance gate are top notch on Kaua’i. Complete with vines, pump-flush mechanisms and wildlife 😍 The ants and lizards truly separate these porta potties from the rest. 🐜 🦎 A+ 5 ⭐️ 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Best thing to do on the island. If you miss it you will be sorry. The views from above can’t be beat. Flying with doors off was amazing. Crew on and off the ground were professional and informative.
