Air Kauai is closed Christmas Day, but we are open for the rest of the holiday season! This is a great time of year to enjoy a helicopter ride. Waterfalls are especially spectacular during the rainy season and if you are lucky, you may also spot a whale from the air! Here’s what some of our guests have to say about their experiences:
““Can't speak highly enough of the team at Air Kauai, absolutely MUST DO experience when coming to this island! The doors off flight provides the most stunning views that can't be seen any other way.” - Julian Good
