I would recommend Island Helicopter for a 'must do' air tour of Kauai. We went looking for a tour somewhat last minute and found that Island Helicopter would take us the next day at a really reasonable price. Our pilot was excellent and knowledgeable about the island below. We had a clear sunny day and the views were absolutely glorious,... more

We made sure to add a helicopter tour to our honeymoon agenda, and this was most amazing thing we have ever done. I would recommend this tour to anyone- as long as you don't get sick (like the guy sitting next to my husband did). We did the 60 min tour and I can't describe the feeling/rush we had taking... more

Wonderful!

This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai. From our Pilot Ian who was the most personable and friendly guide to the landing at the base of the waterfall. This is a must see and we would do this again in a minute. I had the opportunity of sitting up front and the view was amazing. It really didn't... more

This was our 2nd helicopter ride on Kauai. The company we flew with 10 years ago went out of business. The one thing I noticed then was that the helicopters follow basically the same route. We selected Island Helicopters based on the price and we got an awesome deal. For $25 - $55 cheaper than the other companies we got... more

We read all the brochures and reviews and we were really looking forward to a trip that lands at the waterfall. Inter-island helicopters does the trip but unfortunately when we there they were using those helicopters for filming so we decided to use Island helicopters instead. Then they did not have one available for the falls in our time schedule.... more

My wife and I just got back from a cruise. We visited Kauai and took a helicopter tour of the island with Island Helicopters. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the whole island. It was one of the best experiences that I had on this trip. more

We met at their offices early in the morning and grabbed a cookie or two as we weighed in and got ready for the very short shuttle to the helipad. Once up in the helicopter my wife and I were lucky enough to be seated next to the pilot and as-such got the best views. We flew up into the... more

My husband and I just returned from Hawaii where we did the helicopter tour with Island Helicopters in Kauai and Issac was our pilot. He is phenomenal! He knows his stuff and if you go to Kauai this is a must. Half the cost of other outfits. Don't let that scare you away. They were extremely professional and safety was... more

I have been to Kauai many times and although I have always enjoyed the beach and driving around in my car I have never done a helicopter tour. All that changed when I met some people at a luau who told me about a tour they took with Island Helicopters that included landing at the waterfall seen in Speilbergs Jurassic... more

My husband and I just returned from Kauai, our vacation included a tour on Island Helicopters. We believe that Island Helicopters has the best tour of the island. We took the tour that includes a stop at the Jurassic Park waterfall. What a great experience. Nobody else on the island can go to this waterfall (it is private property). It... more
