Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours
Helicopter tours are the most popular kind of air tour, and there are plenty of reputable companies to choose from on Kauai. Blue Hawaiian is the largest around; they offer air tours of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. Their 45 and 50-minute tours depart the heliport adjacent to Lihue Airport and from Princeville Airport and highlight the beauty of the Garden Island.
Jack Harter Helicopters
Another highly recommended helicopter tour company is Jack Harter Helicopters. Jack Harter has been flying since 1962. They use luxury six-passenger AStar helicopters with floor-to-ceiling windows for exceptional visibility. They also utilize four-passenger Hughes 500 aircraft which are flown without doors.
