Kauai Helicopter Tour
Capture the Magic of Kauai from the Sky
A Kauai helicopter tour is enjoyable outing for the entire family. I absolutely loved seeing Kauai from the sky myself. Of all the tours I took while in Kauai, I was most impressed by the helicopter tour. We could see everything from the sky, even areas we had missed when traveling by foot or car.
Kauai's most beautiful spots can only be seen in their proper glory from the air. Waimea Canyon is especially beautiful from the air. At 3,500 feet deep, the canyon is an enchanting, breathtaking view to see. Mark Twain properly called it the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" though its beauty is far more striking than that of the mainland Grand Canyon in my opinion.
