All of it. From the awesome office people to the awesome young man who was much more than a van driver. Was amazing from start to finish. Helicopter ride was awesome thanks to him. He’s absolutely amazing. The whole ride was very smooth and he was very interesting to listen to about the whole amazing history of the island. I will definitely recommend this fantastic adventure to anyone who is looking for a great trip. Absolutely amazing views and amazing time

This was an amazing tour, my wife is not a Helicopter fan and she had an amazing time. The flight was so smooth and she was never concerned. Our pilot, Howie excellent and was very informative and music played in earphones was perfect. We would do it again in a minute, worth the price

Eric was a great guide. He was very informative and personable. He always told us what he was going to do in the helicopter such as making a turn which made for a very smooth ride. The view of the canyons was beyond words. We highly recommend this tour.

Brigid_P, Jan 2024

Difficult to choose just one. The entire trip was fantastic. Our pilot Eric did a wonderful job. This was definitely the highlight of our vacation!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Mahalo nui for your review and rating! It's great to know that you enjoyed the experience of the Canyon Landing Safari with Eric!

Awesome Helicopter Ride

dana_l, Jan 2024

Julian was extremely welcoming and informative with things to do. Pilot Eric was amazing. He was knowledgeable when it came to the island. Answered all questions took the time to explain each attraction. Would highly recommend doing this since you'll experience parts of Kauai that can only be seen from the air.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Mahalo nui for allowing us to share our bird's eye view of the beautiful Island of Kauai. Your Safari crew is glad to know that you enjoyed the experience.

Rainbows, waterfalls and beautiful coastlines..Oh My!

Guy_P, Jan 2024

The weather didn't cooperate so we were re-scheduled for later in the day. The GREAT TEAM at Safari worked together to get all of us re-scheduled. Later in the day the weather broke and we had an amazing tour of the island. Would have been even better if we could have seen more of the North end of Kauai but I guess Zuckbutt somehow got a FAA restriction so tours can't fly over his compound. WE need to stop having the elites run all over us.. Truly amazing experience!!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hooray! So lucky to have the weather break. Thank you for being flexible with rescheduling. Great to know you enjoyed the experience

Best way to see and experience Kuau'i!

Brian_R, Jan 2024

The entire experience was very well coordinated and executed. From signing up, waivers, texts for follow up as date arrives, reminder when they're charging the card, to their service before the flight. The flight was amazing. Landing in valley was a privelage. Sam was our pilot and she is personable, professional and considerate. Do this!!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Brian! Your Safari Crew is so glad to know that you enjoyed the experience from start to finish. Mahalo nui for choosing Safari Helicopters for the Canyon Landing Safari

Canyon Helicopter Ride Rocks!!!

Mario_K, Dec 2023

Wonderful views of Na Pali coast and unbelievable experience flying in Waimea Canyon. Meeting (in his personal garden) and talking to Mr. Robinson (the owner of 50% of land on Kauai) was another amazing and unexpected addition to the tour. We spent 4 days in Oahu and 4 in Kauai, and this flight was our BEST event of all! Even my 26 year old daughter agreed! Outstanding organization and people (not only the pilot) and something to cherish for a long time. Would not mind repeating it tomorrow.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Awesome! Mahalo for letting us know that you enjoyed the experience of the Canyon Landing Safari. Me ke aloha pumehana(with warm regard) from your Safari Crew

Best helicopter tour in Kauai

Morgan_R, Oct 2023

Great company to take an amazing tour with. The landing is a beautiful spot and the fact that some of the money you pay for the trip goes to maintain such a sacred place is the best part. Our guide was wonderful and super knowledgeable. Very smooth trip. Also super friendly staff that was willing to pick you up and then drop you off in another area of interest after the tour. I wouldn’t recommend another company other then them.

Great experience!

Howard_C, Oct 2023

Great experience! Awesome scenery. Our pilot Eric was very knowledgeable. Flight was very smooth too.

Awesome staff and pilots.

Dennis_E, Oct 2023

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! This was something I have had on my bucket list for years. I finally bit the bullet on Kauai. Now I am mad at myself for waiting so long… I can’t wait to do it again! Words won’t do it justice. If this is on your bucket list GO! it’s worth every penny!!!!! AMAZING!!! Thanks Mika for a great flight.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Awesome Review:-) Mahalo nui for choosing Safari for the Canyon Landing Safari! It is great to hear that the experience lived up to your expectations

Great, even for someone afraid of going

Charlie_S, Sep 2023

Amazing beauty, much can only be seen from the air. I was a first time helicopter rider and afraid of heights - I LOVED IT! So beautiful and smooth. Micah was a great pilot and shared lots of history, stories, and information. Landing in the canyon was an added bonus. So thankful the Robinson family allows it. In all, a fabulous tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Aloha Charlie, It is so great to hear that you enjoyed your first helicopter ride! Mahalo for joining Micah for the Canyon Landing Safari

Gotta do better.

Rob_D, Sep 2023

The most memorable parts of this excursion were being able to take part with my daughter and the breathtaking views of the ocean from above. The flight time was very inaccurate. It was listed as 1 hour 30 minutes. Even if you include the time spent on the canyon landing, our trip from departure to landing was 1 hour 13 minutes. If you deduct the time spent on the canyon landing, the flight (time in the air) time was under an hour. Disappointed in that fact. The canyon landing was extremely underwhelming. I would recommend to take a flight of this type, but maybe not with this company. 3 stars is appropriate, as it is graded on the experience, not necessarily this company.
