06081Kauai has extremely diverse terrain, yet more than 80% of it is inaccessible. If you want to see the best this island has to offer, taking a helicopter tour when staying at our Kauai vacation rentals can be a good idea for a number of reasons.

You can see a number of amazing sights while on a helicopter tour, including the Na Pali Coast, Hanapepe Valley, Wailua Falls and Falls from the Jurassic Park movie, to name a few. In fact, viewing waterfalls from the air will allow you a unique view that you wouldn’t be able to see from the ground, and it will make for some spectacular photographs as well.

A few tour packages allow for stops at certain destinations so that you can take photographs of the various sights. Some also provide helicopters that have the doors removed, and these will allow you to take even better pictures, provided you are brave enough to ride in one.

A typical tour lasts anywhere between 45 minutes and one hour, during which time you can cover a vast array of territory. On any given trip, you can view lush rain forests, waterfalls, mountains, beaches and cliffs that are overhanging the ocean. Best of all, you can see these sights up close without having to worry about navigating traffic or getting lost trying to find them.

Flights are contingent upon the weather, and are often cancelled due to rain. As a result, if you plan to spend several days here, you should plan on booking your flight on the first day of your stay if possible. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to reschedule your tour in the event it is cancelled due to weather.

Several tour companies are located at the airport, are reliable as well as regulated and will provide you with a scenic flight you’ll never forget. To ensure you get a seat on one of these flights, book your reservation as soon as you know you are coming.
