An island sculpted by nature

Aerial tours of Kauai’s most astonishing natural wonders

Kauai is a natural masterpiece. For over six million years, the powers of nature have been sculpting and reshaping Kauai, creating some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Appropriately named the “Garden Isle,” the island of Kauai is draped in lush green valleys, towering sea cliffs, thick jungle vegetation, winding rivers and gorgeous cascading waterfalls.

Without a road encircling the island, many of Kauai’s most stunning sights are inaccessible by land. Among these remote scenic attractions is the famous Na Pali coast, spanning 17 miles along Kauai’s North Shore and boasting 3000 ft. sea cliffs and valleys. Then to the Southwest is the Waimea Canyon, coined the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” With so much to explore, a Kauai helicopter tour is truly the only way to experience all of Kauai’s most epic scenery.

That's why Kauai helicopter tours are so popular, because they let visitors see all the island's attractions from the air, making it easy to scale the highest cliffs and enjoy a bird's-eye view of Kauai's many valleys. Using both traveler opinion and expert input, U.S. News tracked down the best Kauai helicopter tours. Don't leave the island without experiencing one of these unforgettable flights.

Hughes 500 Seating:

View Bali Hai, also known as the Makana Mountain, which starts at the beginning of the Na Pali Coast on the north shore of Kauai. Soar over Manawaiopuna Falls, one of the Garden Isle’s most famous waterfalls . Best known from the opening of the 1993 blockbuster film, Jurassic Park. Watch from above as the water rushes over a 380-foot tall cliff surrounded by walls of deep green lush flora. Located within Hanapēpē Valley on the west side of the island, it is a site few can say they have seen while on Kauai.

Continue on over to Hanalei Bay which covers nearly two miles of beach and is backed by 4000ft tall emerald mountains: Hihimanu is on the east, Namolokama is in the middle with its square top, and the triangular shaped Mamalahoa is to the west. Often cloaked with a mist of clouds the Mt. Waialeale ridge home to dozens of cascading waterfalls.

The name Waialeale, meaning “rippling water or overflowing” receives over 400 inches of rain per year and is known to be one of the wettest spots on earth. You’re surrounded by enchanting waterfalls and lush green walls of fauna. Waialeale Crater aka Blue Hole & The Weeping Wall. From above you will see it all and find yourself lost in the beauty and mystery of Kauai’s enchanting lure.

Other sites like the Wailua Falls and Waimea Canyon are also famous aerial sites on the Doors-Off Adventure Tour.

Short answer is “yes”. However, rest assured, prior to every flight our pilots and ground crew review the weather to make sure it is not only safe, but also conducive to a quality tour for you. We understand that this is a big expenditure, and we want to make sure you get your money’s worth. We will cancel your tour and make sure you get a full refund if there is poor visibility, or if the pilot determines the winds are unsafe.

We give a 100% refund for cancellations made 48 hours before the tour date. If there is inclement weather or unscheduled maintenance, we will either reschedule your tour or issue a 100% refund. Keep in mind that if the tour is booked with a third party, their cancellation and refund policy may differ from ours.

All guests must provide their own transportation. We recommend Taxi, Uber, or Lyft. We ask guests to allow an extra 15 minutes of travel time due to unforeseen traffic, to arrive early or on time for their check in.

The doors-off helicopter tour is extremely windy. We recommend comfortable athletic wear, no loose shirts, or dresses, or skirts. Closed-toe shoes or sandals with a heel strap. Hair should be secured in a bun or tightly braided, no loose ponytails or braids. Temperatures are 10-15 degrees cooler and we recommend a windbreaker or a jacket to protect against the wind chill.

All of the tour times we offer are great times to view the island. Time is personal preference whether you like to be an early bird and do activities first thing in the morning, or take your time and do a later tour midday or afternoon.

You may reschedule or cancel your tour for a full refund if done 48 hours prior to the tour date and time. It should be noted that it does rain almost every day in Hawaii. Most of the time it is in very small areas at a time, which does not affect our tours. So we do not recommend cancelling or rescheduling based on a forecast of rain.

Front Seat upgrades are the two seats in the front with the pilot. Selecting these seats guarantees the seating assignment if the two passengers’ body weights combined do not exceed the 345 pounds weight limit. The front seats are sold only as a pair together, whether it is for one or two people. The open seating is any seat in the helicopter. Open class seating is assigned by body weights. For solo passengers, we try our best to accommodate a seat next to the open door. For couples, we seat you two together in the same row. For a party of three, we either seat two passengers in the front and the third passenger in the rear seat, or vice versa depending on the weights. For a party of four passengers, we will seat accordingly by each body weight, typically the two body weights that are the lightest combined at, or under, 345 pounds will be seated in the front. For any seating, you may add a request upon booking. We do not guarantee seating nor assign seating until the day of the tour. Premium Plus seatings are for any guests that weigh 240lbs/109kg or more. An additional seat is blocked and reserved to ensure the combined passenger weight does not exceed the aircraft limitation of 745lbs/339kg.

Because this is a doors-off helicopter tour operation we must take extra steps — in accordance with FAA regulations — to make sure nothing flies out of the helicopter in flight. A phone flying out the door could hurt someone on the ground, or even damage the helicopter if it hits the spinning rotors. Requiring a tether for your phone allows you to enjoy the tour without having to worry about it slipping out of your hands and being lost forever. If you do not have a phone tether, one will be available for your use.

The minimum age requirement is 10 years old. A responsible adult must be seated next to any child. No lap children are allowed, and each person is required to wear a seat belt.

808-651-0619 or use our Contact Form

Weight Restrictions: Front Seats are sold as a pair only, with a maximum combined weight limit of 340lbs/154kg. Guests weighing more than 240lbs./109kg and parties of two (2) with a combined weight of more than 400lbs./182kg, must reserve (1) one additional seat at the regular price. Private Tour 4 guest maximum weight limit is 745lbs/338kg.

The island tours flown in the Hughes 500 are different from any of the others. Removing the doors from the helicopter can often make the flights feel more thrilling than those flown in a helicopter with doors. You should bring a jacket or sweater, wear long pants and footwear that won’t fly out the door while touring. We do not recommend wearing the rubbah slippahs.

This hour long tour is the perfect introduction to all of the Garden Isle’s natural wonders. Provides ample time for the pilot to show you Kauai’s most popular and most magical sites, rotating the aircraft to give you 360 degree views. Any tour less than an hour long will leave you begging for more time in the air. Do not forget. On this heli-tour, you will be flying with NO doors! We promise that this is an exhilarating way to see the island, but if you are unsure about having the doors off, we have many other options to choose from.

Reviews, comments, & questions:.

I live in Scotland but interested in booking a trip for my son and his new wife when they visit Kauai later this month – how busy are the tours – should we book before they travel ? Looking for some advice.

Aloha Linda! Yes be sure to book this tour before they arrive. Space is very limited and being summertime the island is busy all tours will sell out. Do not hesitate to ask any other questions you may have along the way.

I’ve take Jack Harter’s DOORS OFF tours twice before and am booked for another this March, 2020. I cannot recommends it highly enough!! It’s exciting and the very best way to experience the incredible scenery. (OK, I’ll admit to a couple minutes of sheer terror the first time we banked to the right and I was looking straight down at the ground far below! But after that, I LOVED IT!!)

Make your reservations as soon as you have hotel and flights confirmed!!

Mahalo for the awesome feedback Katharine! We look forward to your arrival this March!

Helicopter tours depend on good weather. 

If the tour is canceled due to poor weather or non-fulfillment of the minimum number of passengers, you may be offered a different date or a full refund.

Restrictions strictly followed

Here are some important restrictions to keep in mind for helicopter tours in Kauai:

• Weight limits apply to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
• Tours require a minimum and maximum number of passengers; if not, they will be canceled.
• Infants can come along but must sit on a caregiver’s lap throughout the flight.
• Scuba diving is not allowed within 24 hours before your flight.

What to expect in Kauai

Highlights of most helicopter tours in Kauai include the 27 km (17 miles) long Na Pali Coast in the North and Waimea Canyon, which is also known as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific.’

Other than these two, the other sights you see include Jurassic Park Falls, the Hanapepe Valley, the Hanalei Valley, Mt. Waialeale, etc.

Kauai open-door helicopter tours, also known as doors off helicopter tours , have no doors, giving you an unobstructed view of the stunning scenery below. Experience the thrill of having no glass between you and the breathtaking landscapes of Kauai.

The best time of the year

The best time for a helicopter tour in Kauai is during the summer.

You are more likely to avoid storms, which can delay or cancel flights. Winter is also not a good time for doors-off helicopter tours as the weather is more unpredictable.

The wind can be freezing, even on a warm day, and you might get exposed to rain if it drizzles. Tour operators like Mauna Loa Helicopters, Air Kauai Helicopters, Airborne Aviation Tours, and Ali’i Kauai Air Tours and Charters offer door-off options.

The prices are a bit higher for the doors-off experience than for doors-on helicopter tours.

• Chevron down Weight Restrictions

Our weight limit in place for an individual is 250 lbs and 400 lbs per pair. Weight limits include all clothing, shoes, and carry-on items. The reason why our weight limit is different for pairs is to ensure that they can be on the same flight.

All passengers weighing over 250 lbs and pairs weighing over a combined 400 lbs are required to purchase an additional adjacent seat at checkout.

The weight and balance of a helicopter are crucial to its ability to fly, so we appreciate your understanding of strictly enforcing this policy. In order to comply with FAA regulations, we will discretely weigh every passenger upon checking in.

• Chevron down FAQs

Why is flying a 60 minute tour better than a 45-50 minute tour?

• We strongly believe that 60 minutes should be the minimum flight time for a helicopter tour of Kauai. Our 60-65 minute tour offers superior viewing, more opportunity for photography and video, and better value than those flown for only 45-50 minutes. It may not seem like much time on the ground but when you’re in the air, every minute counts. The extra 5, 10, or 15 minutes that we spend over Kauai’s verdant valleys, water-carved canyons, and the sculpted Na Pali Coast allow our pilots to go slower, fly lower, and spend more time at these tour highlights. It takes a minimum of 1 minute to make a full turn (safely and slowly) in a helicopter, which our pilots often do while hovering over scenic areas, to allow passengers on both sides of the helicopter opportunities for unobstructed viewing and to capture great photos/videos. Plus when broken down to cost-per-minute the value of our 60 minute tour is often more affordable than those only flown for 45-50 minutes.

What Should I Wear?

• For the Doors-On AStar Tour, we highly recommend wearing black or dark colors to reduce the glare from the windows for better photos. For all tours, we recommend wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants, and comfortable shoes. For everyone’s safety, we do not allow any hats, beanies, GoPro head mounts, scarfs, turbans, or other headgear for any of our tours. These items pose a risk to everyone’s safety when boarding, flying, and deboarding.

Can I bring my children?

• Yes! Children of all ages are permitted to fly on our Doors-On AStar tour as long as they are accompanied by an adult. You must provide your own DOT approved infant/child/booster seat as detailed by current transportation/vehicle restrictions, if applicable. If your child is under 35lbs they are required to wear a full infant life preserver, which we will provide.

Seat Requests:

• Because safety is our first priority, we must arrange seating to optimize the weight and balance of the aircraft. However, if you do have a seat preference you have the opportunity to let the staff know upon booking. We will try our best to honor those requests but please keep in mind,  we cannot guarantee any seat requests.

Why is it important for the pilot to be on the left side of the helicopter?

• All of our helicopters have the pilot on the left-hand side of the aircraft. This not only enhances the customers’ experience, but increases everyones safety on board. Generally, all helicopter tours on Kauai, regardless of company, are flown in a clockwise direction around the island. Having the pilot on the left side of the helicopter allows more passengers to be on the side of the helicopter facing towards the island’s coastlines and mountains. For safety reasons, having the pilot on the left side of the aircraft keeps the pilot’s controls further away from passengers therefore avoiding any accidental contact with the controls. It also allows more room and comfort for the customer seated next to the pilot.

• Chevron down Weather and Cancellations

Weather Policy: With safety being our number one priority, we will only fly if current conditions allow for a safe and smooth flight. On top of that, if we feel the weather is such that it is not worth your time and money for a tour, we will not fly. Keep in mind that weather patterns vary from hour to hour on Kauai so we are constantly monitoring between and during tours. Each tour is unique and the exact path flown will vary depending on the weather. However, we don’t want a little rain to frighten you. Keep in mind that the fantastic waterfalls and rainbows for which Kauai is famous will become more abundant soon after rain.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your flight with no obligations by notifying us at least 48 hours before your tour is scheduled to depart. “No-shows” and reservations canceled within the 48-hour period before the scheduled flight time are subject to full charges.

Rainy days in Kauai offer a unique opportunity to experience the island's lush beauty and rich culture. With proper planning and an open mind, visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities that showcase Kauai's charm, regardless of the weather. From exploring museums and art galleries to indulging in local cuisine and relaxing spa treatments, there's something for everyone. The enhanced natural beauty and less crowded attractions make rainy days in Kauai a special experience that shouldn't be missed.

I’m the creator behind Hawaii’s Best and a certified Hawaii destination expert through the Hawaii Visitors Bureau . My background in local culture and sustainability shapes my approach, highlighted in my top-30 US podcast, Hawaii’s Best Travel . In this guide, I’ll share the best Things to Do in Kauai When It Rains , from indoor activities to exploring Kauai’s stunning rain-enhanced landscapes.

Kauai has a tropical climate , which means warmth persists throughout the year, but it is also significantly wet. Kauai ranks amongst the rainiest locations in Hawaii with an annual rainfall of 41.2 inches  approximately.

Remarkably, a location named Mount Wai’ale’ale even exceeds this, qualifying as one of the most precipitation-heavy spots globally ! So, when crafting your itinerary for Kauai, bear in mind potential rainfall during your adventure.

I’ve frequented Kauai on numerous occasions. Each trip demonstrated how the island accepts its frequent showers. The rain engenders a lush, verdant environment, earning it the nickname, the Garden Isle .

Whether under sunny or rainy conditions, Kauai’s charm remains unphased. It’s an ideal destination for outdoor exploration or serene indoor relaxation, complemented by delectable local Hawaiian cuisine at top-notch eateries in Princeville or Lihue.

Average annual rainfall on Kauai (in inches)

Expect rain from late September to early May , with the heaviest rainfall between December and March . This is Kauai’s  rainy season . Rain here usually doesn’t last more than a few days at a time, and big storms are rare.

But it’s smart to have  quick-drying clothes  because showers can come and go fast.

On my trips around Kauai in the wet season, I’ve seen how this island shines even when it rains. The landscape gets more green and lively. Your vacation can still be great if you plan right for rain or shine.

You’ll find that sometimes rain brings out the best adventures, like seeing waterfalls at their most powerful or enjoying cozy moments inside local cafes tasting Hawaiian dishes while listening to live music.

Rain changes your trip to Kauai, but it’s not all bad. On the island of Kauai, expect  wet and lush scenes  on the east and north shores—places like Kapaa and Hanalei. Here, rain is common.

But this makes the area very green. On the other hand, Waimea and Poipu on the south and west shores see  more sun .

If you’re in Kauai for ten days or so, you can move your plans around based on weather updates. Check webcams from Poipu Beach or Sheraton Kauai Resort for live weather before heading out.

This way, even when it rains, you still enjoy plenty of things to do in Kauai without missing out.

Don’t let rain hinder your Kauai adventure. Submerge yourself into the island’s rich culture with trips to art galleries and history museums—perfect spots to learn and remain dry.

You can learn a lot about Hawaiian culture and history by visiting museums in Kauai. The  Kauai Museum in Lihue  is a great place to start. It shows you the island’s  geological beginnings , native Hawaiian life,  Captain Cook’s arrival , and the Hawaiian monarchy.

You get to see real pieces from Hawaii’s past. This museum takes you on a journey through time.

Another must-see is the  Grove Farm Museum . It was once a 19th-century sugar plantation. Now, it tells stories of agriculture on the island. You need to make an appointment for a tour here, but it’s worth it.

Tours happen on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 10 am and 1 pm. Walking around this 100-acre homestead feels like stepping back into history.

Visiting these places gives you first-hand experience with Kauai’s story—beyond just beaches and hikes.

Rainy days in Kauai offer the perfect chance for a spa day. Island spas pamper guests with unique treatments like  heated pōhaku stone massages  and  volcanic rock foot scrubs .

Here’s a list of the best spa experiences in Kauai:
