Testimonials

We had such a blast on this private, doors-off helicopter tour! It was the perfect gift for my boyfriend's 40th birthday. What an adventurous experience to be in a doors-off helicopter and of course: the views are AMAZING! Kauai is such a beautiful island; the best way to see it all is definitely high up in the sky! Special thanks to Kim & Felipe for taking such good care of us. Keep up the good work!

James, Mei, and Kim were an AMAZING professional group for our island tour today. The check in went so smoothly and with such positive attitudes it was infections. Mr. James was a fantastic, charismatic, and exceptionally cool headed pilot who brought a really personal feel to the flight. Even with the weather and wind not wanting to cooperate 100% we still got a chance to see all of the locations a perfect weather flight would see. Thank you all for the experience and we will be back to go again! Mahalo and safe flying!

To celebrate our anniversary, we booked the Private Doors Off Helicopter tour over Kauai. It did not disappoint. An experience of a lifetime and one tour you do not want to miss. To see the most beautiful place on earth from the sky is memorable beyond belief.

- Scott Sitter
My wife and I had an incredible experience on the helicopter tour of Kauai! The breathtaking views of the beaches, mountains, and waterfalls left us speechless. John, our tour guide, was exceptional - his knowledge and enthusiasm added so much to the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to witness the beauty of Kauai from a whole new perspective. A definite must-do!

- Omar Raja
We had the most amazing time in a doors-off experience with Ali'i Tours and our pilot, Felipe. We were able to see parts of the island we would never have ventured to. Safety was always a priority, and Felipe's knowledge of local history was outstanding. What an incredible highlight to our trip.

- Debbie Preston
The private no doors helicopter ride that we went on with Ali’i Air Tours & Charters more than exceeded our expectations. The sights that we saw where breathtaking. We saw so much more of the coast than you can see on a boat. Our pilot, James, was the best. He made us feel that he tailored the tour specifically to us. We highly recommend this company if you are considering a helicopter tour of the Napali coast. If we could give this review more than five stars we would.

- Patty Banks
We absolutely loved our tour with Ali’i tours. Easy checkin and went over all the safety needed before we headed out. And it was truly an AMAZING experience! Guy was our pilot/tour guide and was very knowledgeable of the land. We were amazed at the beauty of Kauai and the history behind it.

- Megan Wessman
Having done other helicopter tours in Hawaii I thought I knew what to expect on this trip. It did not take long before the uniqueness of this experience became apparent. The ability of our pilot James to maneuver into the smaller corridors gave us many up close views that you will not get with some of the other company’s. The open door ride was exhilarating and offered an incredible experience that we will not forget.

- Brian Sawyer
Amazing time with the doors off helicopter tour! Best and only way to see the island! We were a bit apprehensive with the doors off tour, but our pilot Joe demonstrated great skill with navigating the helicopter without terrifying us lol. Would absolutely book again with Ali'i Kauai Tours and Charters! 100% must do while in Kauai!

- Matt Gross
This was the most amazing experience! The views were stunning and almost felt unreal. Guy was our pilot and he was so nice and gave us so much info throughout the whole tour. We were going to leave the doors on because I’m not super fond of heights, but after reading all the other reviews, we decided to take the doors off and it was SO worth it! I never felt nervous about the door being off at all. Kauai is so beautiful and this was the best way to see the island, especially because half of it you can’t see from land! It was also awesome having our own helicopter and not sharing the space with other people we didn’t know. I would highly recommend Ali’i Kauai Air Tours to anyone!

- Kim Albertson
The doors-off was spectacular! If you're hesitating, DON'T. Just book it! We saw so much of the island and the coast. Our pilot, I think Joe (Buzz the Tower, Mav), was very skilled and knowledgeable. We've been on other helicopter tours and this was the best - not only because of the amazing scenery but also because it was private and we both had great seats. The entire process, from booking to landing, was easy, professional, and well organized. Some reviewers mentioned too cold, windy, loud.....and we didn't notice any of that. We wore shorts and light windbreaker jackets and were quite comfortable. We were too busy taking in all the beauty to have any complaints. I would definitely do this again.
