When planning a Hawaiian vacation, most people consider heading to famous islands like Maui or Oahu. However, Kauai is still somewhat of a hidden gem, not attracting as many tourists. That’s good news for you, though, since you have the chance to experience some of the planet’s most beautiful nature without tons of tourist crowds! While you’re on The Garden Island, you’ll want to get a bird’s eye view by taking a breathtaking helicopter tour! Here’s everything you need to know about embarking on helicopter tours in Kauai.
Eco-Star Helicopter Tour
The company Kauai Vacation Activities has four incredible excursions for you to choose from, starting with the Eco-Star Helicopter Tour. You’ll depart from Princeville on the North Shore and will get to climb aboard the brand-new Eco-Star helicopter, featuring high fuel efficiency, a glass roof, leather interior, and elevated rear seats. As you fly over the island, you’ll get to see magnificent sights like the Na Pali Coast, Jurassic Falls, Waimea Canyon, and Mount Waialeale. Your experienced pilot will point out all the attractions below you and teach you all about the picturesque location you’re flying over.
No Doors Tour
If you’re a big thrill seeker, you’ll want to consider one of the most exhilarating Kauai helicopter tours: the No Doors Tour. This tour is exactly what it sounds like: there are no doors on the helicopter, meaning you’ll be able to see the fantastic scenery around you with absolutely no barriers. You’ll get to see all the most popular highlights of the island and will depart from the town of Lihue on the East Side. If you want to step outside of the ordinary and have one of the most thrilling experiences of your life, this is a tour you won’t want to miss!
FX-Star/Whisper Star Helicopter Tour
Another popular tour departing from Lihue is the FX-Star/Whisper Star Helicopter Tour. So much of Kauai can’t even be experienced by car and can only be seen from the sky, and this tour is designed to give you the best views of those hidden parts of the island. You can choose to fly on either the FX-Star or the Whisper Star, putting you in total control of your experience. While both of these vehicles offer the same flight pattern and can each accommodate up to six passengers, the Whisper Star is larger and newer, boasting a Bose sound system, leather interior, and a glass roof.

However, what sets this tour apart is a 20-minute stop at the base of Jurassic Falls! You’ll have a breathtaking view of the falls for a true one-of-a-kind experience.
