Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, having formed over 5 million years ago. Having had the most time for waves, wind, and water to carve the landscape into artful forms; therefore, Kauai is home to diverse and beautiful natural wonders. The old lava, which is rich in iron, has rusted over time, creating scenic red rocks. From valleys and canyons to beaches and coastlines, there are many amazing sights to see. Below are just some of the amazing tour highlights that can be viewed on our tours. And some of these sights can only be seen from the air!

There are numerous beautiful waterfalls in Kauai, including Waipo’o Falls, Wailua Falls, Mount Waialeale Falls, and Opaekaa Falls, but probably none as famous as Manawaiopuna Falls, also known as Jurassic Falls due to its feature in the opening scene of the movie Jurassic Park. The only way to see this waterfall is from helicopter, which makes it one of the top sights on our tour!

There are so many amazing sights on Kauai: lush rainforests, Mount Waialeala, Hanapepe Valley, and Waimea Canyon. But probably the most amazing awe-inspiring sight is the Na Pali Coastline. The unique creation of this coastline has led to deep and narrow hanging valleys and cliffs that soar thousands of feet into the air, making them the second tallest sea cliffs in the world, second only to the ones on Moloka’i. Because of the steep nature of these sea cliffs the best way to access them is from helicopter or boat with the views from the air allowing you the most access to amazing sights that will take your breath away!
