5 stars isn't enough, they deserve 50. I was nervous (sweaty palms haha!) but immediately upon arrival our pilot James met us at our car and made us right at home. Very responsible regarding COVID precautions and just so friendly and educational. Mid-air, mid-sunset I was able to pop the question to my now fiance and it couldn't have been better. Forever indebted to this place and to our pilot. World class! You'll love every dollar spent!

The day after our arrival in Kauai, we had the most amazing experience of our trip....a doors off helicopter tour of Kauai with Guy! Check in was easy with Ingrid, who made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Guy was friendly and professional, putting any fears at ease before we could even vocalize them. The photos we captured are incredible, Guy provided us with great history and information about the island and we felt very safe and comfortable on this exciting trip. Well worth it, highly recommend to anyone interested in really seeing Kauai!!

We had a great time doing the helicopter tour. We initially booked the 20 min ride as we just wanted to see Napali Coast. Well, we were upgraded to 50 mins to fill up seats. There needs to be 7 passengers. We were a little nervous and almost cancelled because there was a helicopter crash the day before for the same tour (different company), but we decided to go anyway. I’m glad we did because it was an experience of a lifetime. It was sooo beautiful. But RIP to those tourists. They were having a good time like us and got so unlucky. That tour company never had an accident in their 30 years of operation. You just get unlucky. The day before right around the time they crashed, the weather turned for the worst and started raining and clouds making poor visibility. Not to mention the wind factor. However, I loved Kauai and this was my favorite thing I did, along with seeing Waimea Canyon from lookouts. Enjoy life because you never know when it’s your time to go.

The pilot - Dylan was polite and very knowledgeable of the air current conditions. I am a licensed commercial pilot and I don’t give compliments easily - Dylan made all the right decisions- awesome trip. The chopper was well powered to handle up and down drafts. Nice and close to the canyon walls to see the waterfalls!

We live in Florida, booked online several weeks prior. Had a number of trips planned in addition to this one. Our time was 9 am, on the way there, someone called asking where we were, stating we were on our way, she explained that they had text us the night before, supposed to be there 45 minutes prior. NOPE!! never got a text, only our printed document saying flight time was 9 am. In short, pilot, Andy, was excellent, staff was nice... but why don’t you put the critical, required info in the ORIGINAL document. It’s so simple... or here is a thought, why not put “ heh, gonna call you day prior”!! Lady on the phone was quite rude.

We had an amazing time with Captain Cameron seeing West Maui and Molokai during a 3 pm flight; the views were spectacular, Elephant (well, Turtle) Rock was unique, and having the opportunity to see some waterfalls up close and fly through the lush green valleys was something everyone should see. The oceanfront landing was a perfect photo op, and we couldn't have asked for a smoother ride. It was a blast! It was nice to preview the video of our trip when we got back to the office so we could see some of the scenery and hear Captain Cameron's narrative; naturally we had to buy it for $60 (cash) so we have a great souvenir of this wonderful tour!
