Kauai Helicopter Tours
Kauai is the best island for helicopter tours because so much of its beauty is untouched and remote. Centuries of wind, rain and ocean waves have carved the oldest major island of the Hawaiian chain into a stunningly dramatic "separate kingdom." For a breathtaking bird's eye view and exploration of this wild and gorgeous isle, a helicopter ride is the optimal adventure. Fly to inaccessible waterfalls located in razor-sharp gorges, fed by Mount Wai'ale'ale, the ‘wettest spot on Earth,' or fly along the rugged Na Pali coast, with its beautiful beaches made all the more wonderful due to their sheer isolation. See Waimea Bay, where Captain Cook first landed in 1778, at the mouth of the awesome Waimea Canyon, which Mark Twain dubbed the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific,' and hover above lush rainforests, plunging canyons, valleys and cliffs. If you take only one helicopter tour while in Hawaii, make sure it's on Kauai.
