    Unbelievable!
    Bradley_J, May 2024
    It may be the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced on vacation. I found myself in disbelief the whole time. What a beautiful landscape and what an incredible way to see it.
    Stop contemplating and book the tour!!

    My fiance and I typically steer clear of the “touristy” excursions, but this private helicopter tour did not disappoint!! It was such an amazing experience, to see the remote areas of Kauai. Waterfalls and vibrant mountains everywhere! The ride wasn’t as nerve-racking as I initially thought it would be, and by the time you see the beauty of the island all of those worries go away! Doors off is the way to go! Bring a light jacket and the tour now!
    A Must Do!

    Both my husband and I agree that the private doors off helicopter tour with Ali’i Kauai Air Tours & Charters was the highlight of our first trip to beautiful Kauai! My fear and uncertainty was eliminated immediately by the amazing staff at check- in and the competence and experience of the pilot. The flight is so smooth and the scenery spectacular! We could not have had a better time experiencing the amazing Na Pali Coast! Everyone must take this tour!
    The best private doors off tour-stunning Kauai!!
    Koreen_H, Apr 2024
    What an amazing helicopter tour of Kauai-highly recommend this doors off tour! The check in was smooth and waiting area comfortable. Received a safety briefing before we went out to the helicopter and a second one by Guy, our pilot, before we boarded the helicopter. Guy was amazing, felt very safe with him. He was extremely knowledgeable about the island and he’s been flying for over 40 years-so you are in good hands. The tour had music to accompany the information about what we were seeing from Guy. I was a little hesitant about the doors off aspect but it was not nearly as windy or cold as I was expecting. We even flew through some rain but didn’t get wet at all! Just make sure you braid or corral your hair securely if you have long hair! My husband is 6’5” and he fit in the rear passenger seat, so there is plenty of room! The views of the canyons, waterfalls, and coastline are stunning! Just do it!!
    Great tour

    Amazing sights! This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Thrilling but I always felt safe. Our pilot was very good.
    WOW-WOW-WOW
    Lorne_B, Apr 2024
    Did this tour with my wife. We were both totally blown away. In 30+ years of travel, this is the excursion we will remember!
    WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!
    Antony_C, Apr 2024
    The entire flight was memorable!! As a result of the large rain storm the night before, the mountains were FULL of waterfalls and full flowing rivers. So it made for excellent picturesque views. We also were able to spot whales jumping out of the water as we flew over the ocean. Our pilot, James, was incredibly friendly and ensured that we were safe as we made our way around the island. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to see gorgeous views without the barrier of doors.
    Amazing Experience!

    Liz was so friendly and accommodating when we arrived. Our pilot, Guy, was not only an amazing pilot but very charming and knowledgeable about the island. Bucket list item. Don’t miss if you are on the island. Highly recommend going doors off.
    Extraordinary Kauai doors-off private helicopter experience with a Norwegian pilot
    Diana_A, Apr 2024
    I highly recommend taking the morning doors off private helicopter tour on your first full day. Our Norwegian pilot made us so comfortable, playing music and explaining how it would feel flying in this helicopter. She was very thoughtful making sure to maneuver the helicopter so we were able to take pictures from each side of the helicopter.
    Incredible Experience
    Barry_C, Mar 2024
    Great way to fully understand and appreciate the terrain on the island. From sheer cliff wall, inaccessible waterfalls, to the coastlines. You see it all. Winds were a bit high on the day we flew but our pilot (Felipe) was sensational. Never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe. This was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend. Doors off, you really feel the experience.
    Experience of a lifetime!
    Rachael_E, Mar 2024
    Experience of a lifetime! Open door was the only way to go and worth it in every way possible. Our pilot Joe was great. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!
    Breathtaking
    Keri_J, Mar 2024
    This was one of the most incredible experiences. This was so worth the money and it took my breath away. Our pilot was so knowledgeable and friendly felt very safe . I never imagined I would see this kind of beauty. I highly recccomend this tour and it is worth every penny and more.
    Doors off is the best

    Heather_J, Mar 2024
    This trip was AMAZING must do. Highlight of my one month work trip. Liz and Philippe were so awesome. Couldn't have felt more welcome and the music played during trip so well thought out. Save money doing anything else and go all in. If I could do 10 stars I would. That good !
    Wonderful private helicopter tour for honeymoon
    Jason_A, Mar 2024
    Guy was our helicopter pilot and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and geographical terrain of Kauai. He was very open to all questions we had and had many stories as well. Highly recommended private tour with no middle seat.
