My morning started at 5.00am with serious discussions with the weather god. The rain teamed as it does in Kauai. By 9.00am I was joking with the guys re: the disussions with the weather god and having succeeded in clearing the skies was permitted to fly. I travelled in February 2012 from Australia. I found Birds in Paradise listed in... More

I learned flying in a WW II Schweitzer glider, then a 150 and later a 172 (Cessna). The sailplane was really great--silent except for the hissss of the wind. The Cessnas-terrific for light travel, getting from place A to Place B in a usually-predictable time. BUT-it wasn't until my wife and I visited Kaua'i, and read THE BOOK that i... More

My new wife and I had a great time doing this. Unfortunately my wife got kind of a raw deal. The aircraft she flew on didn't have a video camera (which we weren't told about before-hand) and the still camera that was on her aircraft was broken, which we didn't learn about until we got back down to the ground,...

On our honeymoon my new bride got me an hour with Birds in Paradise for Valentine's Day. They were very safe but also very laid back. Sometimes these activities are run by anal folks but not this one. These guys are cool and obviously love what they do. You get to fly and the view is awesome. Dont wait til... More
