Air Ventures Hawaii - Kauai Entire Island Tour
The Big Kahuna is Air Ventures’ most popular air tour and for good reason – you’ll get to see all of Kauai’s most beautiful sights. Beginning in the southern part of the island, you’ll fly over the ancient Menehune Fishpond and the Waita Reservoir, the largest freshwater body of water in Hawaii. You’ll also get to see Captain Cook’s landing in old Waimea town.
Continuing on, you’ll soar over Waimea Canyon, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” As you approach the north shore, the famed Na Pali Coast comes into view. See this coastline’s spectacular 3,000-foot cliffs, sea caves and hidden beaches. See Lumahai Beach, where the movie South Pacific was filmed, as well as Hanalei Valley, which is surrounded by numerous waterfalls. The tour then continues down the east side with more waterfalls on the way back to Lihue Airport.
