There are so many incredible things you can see from thousands of feet above. While many may think of populated city skylines or impressive mountain ranges when they think about ideal in-flight views; the small tropical island of Kauai is surprisingly one of the most visually beautiful areas in the world to see from above.
The majority of the Hawaiian Island Kauai is completely inaccessible by foot, car, or boat. This means that even when you plan your vacation to the South Pacific you are missing out on both the most popular tour sites (as they might be overcrowded on land) as well as the untouched areas of the land that can only be seen from the air.
If you are looking to truly maximize your adventure to the small island chain– keep reading as we’ll let you in on Kauai’s best kept secrets and how you can access them.
Why a Kauai Helicopter Ride is the Best Way to Tour the Island.
Searching for the best way to tour Kauai? There is no better experience than that of a private helicopter tour! There are so many things that you will only be able to see from the air. While hiking through sites like Waimea Canyon or along the Napali Coastline may take your breath away; there is no view like that of the emerald landscape from above the world.
Can I Book a Private Helicopter Tour?
Absolutely! There are many different tour companies located across the state of Hawaii that offer helicopter tours of the smallest and oldest island, Kauai. However, if you are looking to book your air tour with a trusted company who knows the island the best– it is important to look for an accredited company based on the island of Kauai. While other, larger, tour companies based on a different island may have some baseline knowledge of the major and most popular sites to see, they may not be able to give as rich of a history or show you some of the hidden gems that someone who lives on Kauai full time can.
The best way to make sure that you are booking with a company that is highly recommended and can give you the best possible experience, make sure to look at their online reviews (starting with Google My Business or Yelp) and check out their website to learn more. On Ali’i Air Tours, we have all of our information front and center to give our potential guests the utmost confidence in our ability to create an unparalleled experience.

Are Kauai Helicopter Tours Private?
The short answer is, yes! Most of the planes that operate helicopter tours of Kauai are small craft (seating a maximum of 5 people) so the experience is targeted at groups booking the entire flight for themselves. This is the best way to experience a helicopter tour as the privacy allows for the pilot and those onboard to have a cohesive plan and understanding of comfort levels and the top things that you would like to see during your time in the air.
Embarking on an air tour in a helicopter is increasingly intimate as you may want to take advantage of the doors-off option when available. This is an experience unlike any other and appeals to thrill seekers and photographers looking to get the perfect shot, alike. If you are on a semi-private or public helicopter tour you may not get the experience you are looking for– so be sure to do research and book the option that fits your goals for the excursion.
Overall, no matter when or where you decide to embark on your air tour of Kauai, you are sure to have an amazing time viewing the island from the best angles available! Just make sure that you do your research and book a tour that best fits your group– here are some that we at Ali’i Air Tours offer that may appeal to different groups like yours who are looking to book a private adventure!
