Much of Kauai is remote, so one of the best ways to see the island is to take a helicopter ride. We decided to take a helicopter ride on our first full day on the island. This way we could get a layout of the land.
We went with Inter Island Helicopter and had no doors! On top of that it was unusually windy- while I thoroughly enjoyed no doors-it really is not for the faint of heart because when the helicopter turns, well just imagine the view down.
The pilot was very informative. We flew over the Na Pali coastline, Waimea Canyon, the sugar fields, coffee and taro fields, all the various caverns. We had a bird’s eye view of the entire island of Kauai.
The island has so many beautiful waterfalls that would have not seen if we had not taken the helicopter tour. It is also a great way to orientate yourself with the layout of the island. Loads of fun-an experience we will never forget!
