The ONLY way to see ALL of Kaua’i! - What a spectacular way to see this wild and rugged island! I won’t lie, the first few minutes of the flight as we adjusted to the motion and height were a little uncomfortable, but viewing the flight as part sightseeing and part thrill ride, we settled in quickly. Our pilot, Tim, offered just the right amount of information about what we were seeing and allowed us plenty of time to just soak in the sights. We choose a helicopter tour of Kaua’i because so much of the island is inaccessible via road. We highly recommend this experience as it gives you an much greater appreciation for the history, culture, and shear beauty of Kaua’i.

Just amazing - Definitely do this! Kauai is so beautiful, especially from the air. Doors off is amazing... just bring a jacket, it gets cold up there. Nate was amazing. Super nice and very informative. Looking forward to doing this again next year.

Worth every penny - Was such a great way to see the island. I would highly recommend this tour company. Our pilot grey was very professional and informative. Excellent experience

Outstanding experience - well worth it - First time in a helicopter and first time in Kaua’i. Absolutely the highlight of the trip. Spectacular views and our pilot and guide Tim was outstanding. I was a little concerned about doors off, but it’s the way to go. Mauna Loa was friendly and professional to deal with. Highly recommended.

Totally worth the money on a good weather day! - The trip was better than expected. Our pilot, Grey, was fun, calm, courteous and informative. I am afraid of heights and we had the doors off. Grey made me feel safe and comfortable. We flew very close ( to us anyway) to the sides of the canyons and mountains and it was stunningly beautiful! We would recommend to anyone a helicopter trip around the island!

Ultimate Kauai Experience in 1 Hour - On previous visits to Kauai, we've enjoyed a couple of Na Pali sunset cruises and a helicopter tour with a different touring company (that even included a waterfall landing). But *THIS* private tour with Mauna Loa Helicopters far exceeded them both! Our experienced pilot, Mr. Hayzen, gave us a knowledge-filled tour of Kauai we will never forget. On our early morning flight, we were treated to a few beautiful rainbows (one that seemed to follow our helicopter for many miles), and absolutely incredible views of the island. There were times it seemed we could reach out and touch the cliffs - but I learned the hard way not to stick you arm out of a moving helicopter on our previous tour, *NOT SMART* (although my arm fortunately stay attached)! Some kindly advice (just in case you're also tempted to point out the sites to your companions), imagine you have T-rex arms that are too short to reach out of the helicopter. All in all, I'd say a sunset cruise up the Na Pali coast is still a nice experience and the view is worth it; but if you have to choose, I highly recommend choosing Mauna Loa's helicopter tour (with the doors off!). You'll not only have the unforgettable (and closer) view of the Na Pali coast, but you also have the advantage of a bird's eye view of many other beautiful parts of the island - the south east coastline (our very first opportunity to see this incredible coastline, as you can't see it any other way); Kauai coffee plantation; Olokele Canyon, Waimea Canyon; Na Pali cliffs; numerous gorgeous waterfalls; Hanalei Bay, north side coastline (breathtaking reef views), Wailua Falls, etc., etc., etc. You will not be disappointed!! We took a 7:30 am trip and are now thinking about booking another trip at a later time in the day just to experience the island in a different light and to get a better view of the Weeping Wall in Mt. Waialeale crater (unfortunately, we couldn't get too close this time because the weather got a little rough causing turbulence)

MUST DO EXPERIENCE! - We have done numerous helicopter rides before but this doors off experience tops them all! We will never do doors on again. The pilot was awesome and the hour flew by. Every detail was perfect! Highly recommend !

Highlight of our trip - This was my first time in a helicopter and it was awesome! Highly recommend doing a smaller chopper like this because it only seats four people so everyone gets a window seat! Everything about the tour was well organized and the woman in the office who greeted us was lovely and our pilot was excellent. I would give a 10 out of 10.

Don’t skip - This was the most fun and memorable thing we’ve did on our vacation ( and we did a lot). Nate, our pilot was awesome. Fun, experienced, and knowledgeable. You will never see such spectacular sights from the ground. Just do it!

Doors Off Is The Way To Go - The tour and pilot were great! Very well versed in the sites and stories we were able to see across the island. We chose doors off and it was a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend Mauna Loa Tours to anyone to get some great sites and history lessons on Kaua’i.
