Breathtaking views!!! - My husband and I took this tour and it was amazing!!! Our pilot (Guy) did a wonderful job of showing us this beautiful island. He also knew I was a little nervous and did a great checking in with me during the flight to make sure I was doing okay. Definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing doors off experience! Best part of Kauai! - Amazing experience. We did the 60 min doors of ride. I was nervous but my teenage daughter loved. Stuart was great and a very calming pilot. He notified us of areas to expect a few bumps while serving as an informative tour guide of what we are seeing. Even had a great playlist for us to jam to! I’ve never flown in a helicopter but Stuart and the Ali‘I team were awesome. Would highly recommend them!

A must for Kauai! - Hands down my favorite experience in Kauai! A helicopter view of the island including all the restricted areas is a must see if you visit Kauai and Ali'i Kauai does a beautiful job! Our pilot Steve was very informative and pointed out some great sights to notice during the ride as well as may the experience very smooth. The doors off tour you get such a great overall view and you feel safe the entire time. 10/10 recommend

The best adventure! - This was one of the best adventures we did in Kauai! The doors off was a little scary, but also absolutely amazing and I would not do it any other way. Stuart was the best! He was very personable and knowledgable. I was very glad to be wearing long pants and a jacket. It was 80 degrees on the ground, but up in the air it was probably 60. I did have a jacket with a hood that I had to tuck into my collar, so I would recommend a sweatshirt with no hood. This helicopter is small, so we got pushed around in the wind a little, but I felt completely safe the whole time. I have a little bit of motion sickness, but I did not feel sick at all on this ride. So amazing!

Amazing views! Great experience! - Great experience! Stuart was an awesome pilot and very aware of our surroundings. He pointed out many landmarks around the beautiful island. We went later in the afternoon so it was misty, but made the tour all that more majestic!

Best experience of a lifetime - Absolutely breathtaking, there is nothing like it ever. If you do this on your first day you can rest assured you have seen the absolute best on Hawaii in the best manner possible. Then just go sit and relax on the beach. No other tour or sight will come close. I was without words when we landed, just is awe of the amazing beauty and the feeling, the cold air rising in, the changes in temperature, the smell of the clean damp air and the most visual beauty your eyes will ever see, a full sensory experience. Highly recommend. Nolan thank you for the best experience ever.

Just do it! - Just do it!!! This helicopter tour with Felipe was the highlight of our trip. Seeing that I’m small, I knew if I went on one of the larger helicopters I would have gotten stuck in a middle front row seat. Being able to take a private tour with my husband and just the pilot for the same price as one of the other group tours was a no brainer. That being said, it was above and beyond my wildest expectations. It had rained a bit in the morning so we were a bit concerned but Felipe had said that this should allow us to see circle rainbows. He was absolutely right and found us a double circle rainbow. It was like he called it in. One other thing was that we were nervous about the doors off but we are so glad we did it. The clarify was incredible.

Doors off is the way to go. - We loved our doors off heli tour. What an incredible way to see the island. Stuart was a great pilot and guide and everyone was warm and welcoming. We highly recommend booking directly with this company to support the local business.

Eyes wide open! - By far, one of the most exciting and exhilarating experiences on the island well worth the time and the money our pilot Felipe was amazing and would recommend this hands-down.
