Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

See the best of Kauai on an exciting full-day excursion that explores the island by land and air! You'll drive along Kauai's scenic coconut coast whose exotic features and lush vegetation have appeared in many movies including "South Pacific," "Jurassic Park" and "Blue Hawaii."

Visit North Shore beaches before pausing at the Kilauea Lighthouse. Situated against the dramatic backdrop of steep cliffs plunging to the ocean, it offers breathtaking views overlooking the Pacific. The lighthouse was originally built in 1913 and was, in its day, one of the Pacific's most powerful and essential navigational aids. The lighthouse has the largest clam shaped lens ever made and can beam its light over 90 miles out to sea.

Continue on for a picnic lunch at Anini Beach Park, adjacent to the property used for the movie "Honeymoon in Las Vegas." Then stroll along the landmark Hanalei Pier for views of serene Hanalei Bay, which was made famous by the film "South Pacific."

Upon arrival at the helicopter terminal, receive a warm aloha check-in followed by a digital surround-sound, large-screen presentation showing the history and geology of Hawaii. Following the presentation, board an air conditioned jet helicopter to begin a spectacular flight above Kauai.

Accompanying the awesome scenery is music and narration on the culture, history and myths of the island. Soar through the heavens for a bird's-eye view of magnificent waterfalls, majestic canyons and inaccessible beaches.

Pass the 3,400-foot Mt. Namolokama Waterfalls, Waimea Canyon, "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific," the Na Pali Coast, Hanalei Valley and, weather permitting, Mt. Wai'ale'ale.

Special Notes:

The Kilauea Lighthouse is closed on Sundays and Mondays. On these days a visit to the area will still be conducted but the lighthouse and grounds will be inaccessible. Approximate flight time is 45 minutes.

Weight surcharge ($179.95) may apply on this flight. Due to weight and balance limitations, as well as passenger safety and comfort, the helicopter companies have advised that guests weighing 260 lbs. or more (fully clothed) will be assessed the weight surcharge to reserve adequate space onboard the helicopter. Passengers weighing 260 lbs. or more should reserve an extra surcharge ticket and, once onboard, contact the Tour Office and your account will be adjusted to reflect the cost of the surcharge only.

All seats in the helicopter are forward facing with large custom windows for optimum viewing. Bring plenty of film and batteries for your video camcorders and camera. This tour runs rain or shine. If the flight portion of the tour is cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions the land portion of the tour will be completed and a partial refund will be given.

Helicopter excursions are not refundable unless cancelled by 12:00pm on the day after embarkation.
