Hover over the deep chasms of Waimea Canyon!

Kauai, known as the “Garden Isle,” is Hawaii’s fourth largest island. The northernmost and oldest island in the Hawaiian chain is draped in emerald valleys, jagged cliffs, and sharp mountain spires, aged by time and the elements. Centuries of growth have formed tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls and forking rivers. Some parts of Kauai are only accessible by sea or air, revealing views beyond your wildest imagination.

Perhaps the best way to see the majesty and breadth of Kauai is by air. Hover over the deep chasms of Waimea Canyon. View majestic Manawaiopuna Falls, recognizable from the film, “Jurassic Park.” With much of Kauai’s lush wilderness inaccessible by car, an aerial tour is the perfect way to fully experience Kauai’s hidden natural wonders.

Helicopter has four seats in the back and two seats in front for guests. Open seating is determined based on weight & balance for all six passengers. First Class seating is guaranteed two front seats next to pilot.

Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of the Garden Isle, as you create memories that will last a lifetime. And who better to trust than the ORIGINATORS of helicopter tours on Kauai, Jack Harter Helicopters (established in 1962).

This tour is a full 60-65 minutes and we are proud to not fly anything less. Every day we strive to honor Jack Harter’s legacy by providing the BEST helicopter experience on Kauai. You don’t want to settle for any less than 60 minutes, as this allows our pilots to give thorough and personalized commentary while taking their time to turn the helicopter so everyone on board gets to enjoy the scenic viewpoints, regardless of seating arrangements.

As we fly clockwise around the island some highlights you may see include…

• Nawiliwili Harbor and the Menehune Fishpond

• Chevron down Weight Restrictions

Our weight limit in place for an individual is 250 lbs and 400 lbs per pair. Weight limits include all clothing, shoes, and carry-on items. The reason why our weight limit is different for pairs is to ensure that they can be on the same flight.

All passengers weighing over 250 lbs and pairs weighing over a combined 400 lbs are required to purchase an additional adjacent seat at checkout.

The weight and balance of a helicopter are crucial to its ability to fly, so we appreciate your understanding of strictly enforcing this policy. In order to comply with FAA regulations, we will discretely weigh every passenger upon checking in.

For parties of 3-4 passengers, we require one of the passengers to be 150 lbs or less and no taller than 5’10” to accommodate the front middle seat. This policy is to ensure that your party can fly together on the same helicopter. This aircraft, the MD500, has a front middle seat with a weight limitation of 150 lbs and a height restriction of 5’10”.

• Chevron down FAQs

• We strongly believe that 60 minutes should be the minimum flight time for a helicopter tour of Kauai. Our 60-65 minute tour offers superior viewing, more opportunity for photography and video, and better value than those flown for only 45-50 minutes. It may not seem like much time on the ground but when you’re in the air, every minute counts. The extra 5, 10, or 15 minutes that we spend over Kauai’s verdant valleys, water-carved canyons, and the sculpted Na Pali Coast allow our pilots to go slower, fly lower, and spend more time at these tour highlights. It takes a minimum of 1 minute to make a full turn (safely and slowly) in a helicopter, which our pilots often do while hovering over scenic areas, to allow passengers on both sides of the helicopter opportunities for unobstructed viewing and to capture great photos/videos. Plus when broken down to cost-per-minute the value of our 60 minute tour is often more affordable than those only flown for 45-50 minutes.

What should I wear?

• For the Door-Off experience, you MUST wear shoes that are laced or strapped on. We highly recommend bringing a light jacket, preferably something waterproof for the cool and potentially misty breeze. For all tours, we recommend wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants, and comfortable shoes. For everyone’s safety, we do not allow any hats, beanies, GoPro head mounts, scarfs, turbans, or other headgear for any of our tours. These items pose a risk to everyone’s safety when boarding, flying, and deboarding.

Can I bring my children?

• For our Doors-Off tour, your child must be at least 10 years of age and must be accompanied by an adult. If you would like to fly on our doors-off tour and your child is not old enough yet, we recommend asking your hotel if they offer any babysitting or daycare services.

Can I make a seat request?

• Because safety is our first priority, we must arrange seating to optimize the weight and balance of the aircraft. However, if you do have a seat preference you have the opportunity to let the staff know upon booking. We will try our best to honor those requests but please keep in mind,  we cannot guarantee any seat requests. 

What You Can Bring:

• Phone or camera (with wrist or neck strap)
• Windbreaker or jacket
• Secure shoes

What You CANNOT Bring:

• Hats, beanies, or any similar headwear
• Bags, backpacks, or purses
• Any loose items
• Selfie stick or GoPro stick longer than 12 inches
• Magnetic Gimbals (allowed with an additional strap to secure)
• Flip flops/slip on footwear

• Chevron down Weather and Cancellations

Weather Policy: With safety being our number one priority, we will only fly if current conditions allow for a safe and smooth flight. On top of that, if we feel the weather is such that it is not worth your time and money for a tour, we will not fly. Keep in mind that weather patterns vary from hour to hour on Kauai so we are constantly monitoring between and during tours. Each tour is unique and the exact path flown will vary depending on the weather. However, we don’t want a little rain to frighten you. Keep in mind that the fantastic waterfalls and rainbows for which Kauai is famous will become more abundant soon after rain.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your flight with no obligations by notifying us at least 48 hours before your tour is scheduled to depart. “No-shows” and reservations canceled within the 48-hour period before the scheduled flight time are subject to full charges.

Courtesy of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

The Hawaiian island of Kauai features lush green mountains, dramatic coastal landscapes, crystal-clear ocean waters and unbelievable scenery everywhere you look. However, it's hard to take it all in from a car or even a boat – there's just too much to see, and much of the island isn't accessible on land. That's why Kauai helicopter tours are so popular, because they let visitors see all the island's attractions from the air, making it easy to scale the highest cliffs and enjoy a bird's-eye view of Kauai's many valleys. Using both traveler opinion and expert input, U.S. News tracked down the best Kauai helicopter tours. Don't leave the island without experiencing one of these unforgettable flights.

EPIC DOORS-OFF ADVENTURE will take you to Kauai’s most lush and scenic destination on the island!

Discover a birds-eye view of Bali Hai, also known as Makana Mountain, which starts at the beginning of the Na Pali Coast on the north shore of Kauai. Soar over Manawaiopuna Falls, one of the Garden Isle’s most famous waterfalls. Best known for the opening of the 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park. Watch from above as the water rushes over a 380-foot tall cliff surrounded by walls of deep green lush flora. Located within Hanapēpē Valley on the island’s west side, it is a site few can say they have seen while on Kauai.

Continue to Hanalei Bay, which covers nearly two miles of beach and is backed by 4000-foot-tall emerald mountains: Hihimanu is on the east, Namolokama is in the middle with its square top, and the triangular-shaped Mamalahoa is to the west. Often cloaked with a mist of clouds, the Mt.Waialeale ridge is home to dozens of cascading waterfalls.

Waialeale, meaning “rippling water or overflowing,” receives over 400 inches of rain annually and is known to be one of the wettest spots on earth. Enchanting waterfalls and lush green walls of fauna surround you—Waialeale Crater, aka Blue Hole & The Weeping Wall. You will see it all from above and find yourself lost in the beauty and mystery of Kauai’s enchanting lure.

Other sights like Wailua Falls and Waimea Canyon are famous aerial sights on the Doors-Off Adventure Tour.

Fantastic experience!! The pilot and ground crew were super friendly and made us feel so comfortable. Open door helicopter was super cool. The price was reasonable compared to other companies. Definitely worth it. Felt very safe. My wife can get motion sickness but did not with this experience. The helicopter was very stable. Tanya with Kaua.com was so knowledgeable about Kauai and booked all our tours on Kauai. I will definitely work with Kauai.com again.
