- Kipu Kai - Our airplane tours uniquely include the stunning Kipu Kai and the entire Poipu shoreline of Kauai, areas that helicopters often miss. Enjoy extended whale watching opportunities along the Poipu shoreline.
- Waimea Canyon State Park - Soar over the entire Waimea Canyon, taking in numerous waterfalls below. The canyon’s brown, eroded landscape contrasts sharply with the lush greenery of the rest of the island. Known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” it’s a sight not to be missed.
- Manawaiopuna Falls (Jurassic Park Falls) - Weather permitting, we fly over this iconic waterfall, which consists of three cascades in a row. It’s one of the 100 waterfalls you’ll see on this trip, famously featured in the movie Jurassic Park.
- Mt. Waialeale - Often referred to as the Crater due to its three-sided walls, this site showcases Kauai’s abundant waterfalls. Flying alongside these waterfalls, just off the wing tip, offers an unforgettable experience we love to share with you.
- Hanalei Bay - Hanalei Bay is one of our largest and most beautiful bays. After passing the bay, we ascend Hanalei Valley, where hundreds of waterfalls, like ribbons of water, cascade from the sky, surrounding the plane with a mesmerizing view.

Best Flight on Kauai , Hand Down! - Simply Amazing, This is the Best money you can spend! My wife, brother and his wife all took this flight. We booked the entire plane, which was only about $75 more than having 2 additional passengers. This allowed all 4 of us to sit on the right side, and enabling the pilot to focus on those sights vs trying to accommodate 6 passengers.
First, the flight was one of the smoothest small craft flights any of us had ever flown on, and my brother and I are Air Force Veterans. Additionally, my brother lives in Oahu, and has flown in several helicopter rides around the islands, and even he said this was hands down the best tour flight he had ever been on. The weather was very agreeable that day, but not perfect. Yet take off, in flight, and landing were like riding in a limo. Just smooth, relaxing, entertaining and educational.
Our pilot Andre was the best. He has lived on the island for many years and his general knowledge was outstanding. He pointed out everything as we flew and took us to every location that you would expect and more. Communication was easy with the headsets and Andre, from Minnesota, was just as cool as Chuck Yeager. The plane was clean and comfortable. Very easy to take photos and they all turned out so very good. A video of the entire flight was also available for sale an it is fabulous as well. Our family will love it.
I could ramble on and on, but if you are having any doubts about this plane flight vs a helicopter, in our opinion, having done both, this is the winner and NO QUESTION if you have a weak stomach.
I guess if I have anything negative to say its that when you come to a stop, you will not want it to be over. Just so much fun! You will see I am a frequent reviewer, so you know this is not a fake or paid review.

First flight! - Experienced this with my boyfriend and we both had the best time. Worth every penny because the views were incredible. If you get car sick I would take a Dramamine or something to calm your stomach because it is a little bumpy compares to normal flights but worth it!! Thank you so much for the trip:)

Amazing ! - We did hesitate a long time to know if an overview flight of Kauai was worth it or no. We finally booked with “wings over Kauai” and we are glad we did. On this season your options to have a glimpse of the amazing Napali coast are limited, and it is really worth it to see it, after you’ve come so close.
Besides the price difference between a helicopter ride and the airplane one I really suggest the airplane although you do not have the “wahoo impression of the helicopter” because :
- You are sure to have a window seat
- the amazing views you’ll have require more distance than upclose
We did choose the Cessna tour as we were two. Our experience was great from the welcome desk to the landing. We really got an overview of the whole Kauai island with beautiful scenery. Our pilot, Brooke gave us a very smooth ride and useful information while flying over the island. She was great.
Because many places of the island cannot be seen from the ground Kauai really deserves to be seen from the sky. Wings over Kauai is really a very good option (the best ?) to reach that goal.
Mahalo for the experience and the amazing views.

The only way to see the island in a short time is this or a helicopter. - Ok, in all honesty a bit underwhelmed. The flight is not surprisingly a bit bumpy so if you suffer motion sickness be warned. There are 6 available seats but two of them are on the left of the plane when 90% of what there is to see is on the right. They put my son in a left side seat for weight distribution reasons and he saw nothing. In fact he fell asleep as a reaction to boredom and the motion of the plane. We requested a change of seats for him but this was apparently not possible once we had taken off and realised the circumstances. The views are great for those seated on the right and it’s probably the only way you can see so much of the island in a short time. Obviously helicopter would be another option. I would say go ahead and do it but recognise the concerns I have highlighted.

Terrible lack of communication - The weather was cloudy and overcast so our tour was cancelled which was upsetting but completely understandable. What was unacceptable was the fact that we weren't called with this information prior to arriving at the airport 20 minutes prior to our check in time. The supervisor who I finally got to talk to on the phone was beyond rude and uncaring when I asked why we weren't notified and that we'd wasted time and money to get to the airport. Based on her attitude alone, I'd never recommend this tour to anyone.

Never been so frustrated... Left side passengers is sh*t - There are 6 passenger seats, 4 on the right and 2 on the left.
If you are on the right then it's awesome ; if you are on the left, then it's sh*t.
You will miss 80% of the views since they keep the best for the right side passengers.
Never been so frustrated to know it's awesome but cannot see it because the view is blocked by the right side passengers back or because you angle from the left side is too tight to see what's in the right side ....
