Something that you should try once in your life
Ask anyone and they will tell you that a Doors off helicopter tour on Kauai is one of those things that you should definitely try once in your life. The beauty seen from up above is indescribable and is probably the reason why this island is the perfect touring spot.
The Garden Isle’s dramatic scenery can only be seen from the sky. With the last volcanic eruption dating back millions of years, this land is covered with lush greenery and mountains. It might seem a little terrifying at first but when you put on the headphones and see the trees the size of broccoli, all you will think about is grabbing your camera and shooting a few pictures.
Jurassic Park Waterfall
The tour starts from the developed area and slowly moves towards the craggy sea cliffs. With the helicopter going in a clockwise direction, you will first get to see the Jurassic Park Waterfall… yes, the one that was in the Jurassic Park movie! The Manawaiopuna Falls is the biggest one and there are a few other small falls, plunging into sparkling blue pools.
Waimea Canyon
Moving forward, the land becomes greener and drier and we come across the Olokele and Waimea Canyons. Called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” this is one of the mesmerizing highlights of Kauai. The glimpses of the red and orange earth between all that greenery give you an idea how far this canyon stretches.
The Na Pali Coast
One of the best stops of a Kauai helicopter tour is The Na Pali Coast. The cliff soaring above the blue ocean and the point where the land meets the water are spectacular. The helicopter reaches pretty close to the mountain so that you can see the jagged cliffs up close.
Mount Wai’ale’ale
Kauai is green, but when it comes to Mount Wai’ale’ale, the vibrancy of the cliffs is nothing you could have imagined in your wildest dreams! It is known as the wettest land on earth due to the frequent rainfalls. The Wai’ale’ale Falls seems so tiny from up above but at a closer look, you will see the water rushing and crashing against the rocks, creating a beautiful mist.
A Doors Off Helicopter Tour Kauai
There are plenty of other sceneries that you will see in between. The reason why a Doors-off / an open-door helicopter tour Kauai is much more interesting is that it allows you to cover most of the Garden Isle in a short time. Plus, the panoramic view from up above is unbeatable compared to trekking on foot and looking at the falls and cliffs.
