We have used Inter-Island for two separate trips. They are EXCELLENT! The no doors is the best. It does get windy but no worse than being on a motorboat. The view is WELL worth it. You can see SO MUCH MORE and take pictures without window glare. Our pictures come out incredible. The pilots always take the time to slow... More

The staff and crew were fantastic. It is the only company that I would choose. We drove all the way done from Princeville just to fly with them. Our pilot, Chase, was very knowlegable about the island and took the time to make sure we got the right picture. Very memorable experience! It's the only way to see the island.

We chose Inter-Island Helicopters to tour Kauai because they fly with the doors off, allowing greater visibility and photo opportunities. The ride greatly exceeded our expectations. The scenery is magnificent. The pilot was masterful, and his narration was informative, well-paced and entertaining. We were ready to do it again as soon as the ride ended. A suggestion: try to go...

This is the 3rd time we've flown with Inter-Island. We've used other companies in the past, and have to say...these guys are the BEST. They are very informative throughout your tour...and each time, we see new things. Very nice staff, and they are there to make sure you enjoy your flight...and that's what it's all about. I'd recommend these guys... More

Ya we had the ‘wow’ factor here. Neither my wife nor I have ever flown in a helicopter. That plus I am scared of heights made this an interesting first excursion on our stay here in Kaua’i. Our first selected time for this got bumped back 2 hours, but we got upgrade to the Waterfall tour at the same time.... More

The Waimea canyon is so much better than the Grand Canyon and seeing it up close and personal in a helicopter with no doors that can get right up close is unreal. Our pilot hovered next to a waterfall that was hundreds of feet and slowly rotated so we could get incredible pictures. Next thing you know, you are going... More

The experience is amazing, flying with the doors off alongside the Na Pali coast is incredible. The staff is very helpful and safety minded. You feel 100% secure the whole time. A must for video and photos. You won't be disapointed. It was the best experiance of our entire vacation.

If you want to experience the best views of Kuai, the doors-off helicopter is the only way. The scenery is breathtaking, the pilots knowledgeable and entertaining and the staff professional and helpful. This is the only travel experience my husband and I will pay the money to do again. Not to be missed!
