Comparison of Helicopter Tour vs Airplane Tour on Kauai
Kauai is one of the most magical places you will ever visit on this planet. We can say that for a fact. This is why it is important that you choose the best mode of transport to explore the island during your time here. It is not only grand, but you can avoid the mind-numbingly annoying traffic that puts a damper on a well sought out and exciting tour.
Now that you have decided to take the air tour. It is now up to you to choose from going on an air tour in a helicopter or an airplane. You may have a question, ‘what are the differences between a helicopter tour and airplane tour?’ Let us answer your question. There are some of the differences you can use to compare helicopter tour vs airplane tour on Kauai.
Helicopter Tour
One of the best thing about going on a helicopter is that the whole experience feels like a scene out of a movie. The serenity of the helicopter flying over the luscious green mountains as it shifts up and down in altitude makes for an amazing experience.
Airplanes are not able to hover as demanded by their mechanisms. Some companies offer open doors which allows for a significantly better view of the landscape than with doors on. You can either choose to go for a chopper with no doors or one with large windows, either way, it is a thrilling experience.
Airplane Tour
Airplane tours cost significantly less than the helicopter tours. They are known to charge $140 – $240 for 60 – 90 minutes. Helicopter rides cost approximately $260 to $325 for 55 minutes.
If you are someone who enjoys aerial views or is a photographer, then you are certainly going to enjoy traveling on an airplane. The airplanes fly at a slightly higher altitude which gives a panoramic and scenic view of the area.
The level of safety with airplanes is much higher than that of the helicopters. Since they are required to fly at higher altitudes, they have more time to determine a safe landing point, unlike the lower helicopters. Ali’i Kauai Air Tours is the only twin-engine air tour company on Kauai which adds additional safety with its 2 engine configuration.
The majority of the seats on airplanes are placed on the right side so everyone has an excellent view. Every seat on the airplane is a window seat, unlike many helicopters that have middle seats.
