Overview

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauaʻi from above on an unforgettable PRIVATE, doors-off helicopter adventure with ALL WINDOW SEATS! No strangers, no crowded helicopters just you, your guests, and incredible views of Hawaiʻi's Garden Isle.

Soar over the famous Manawaiopuna "Jurassic Park" Falls, explore the vibrant red and green gorges of Waimea Canyon, and marvel at the towering emerald cliffs, hidden valleys, and pristine beaches of the world-famous Nāpali Coast.

Discover the spectacular Mount Waiʻaleʻale crater, one of the wettest places on Earth, where countless waterfalls cascade down lush tropical cliffs.

With Mauna Loa Helicopters, every tour is PRIVATE, giving you a personalized experience, unobstructed photo opportunities, and a front-row seat to Kauaʻi's most spectacular scenery.
