The Kauai ECO Adventure Air Tour is a scenic Kauai helicopter flight with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Departing from Lihue, this Kauai helicopter tour gives guests an unforgettable look at the Garden Isle’s valleys, waterfalls, canyons, beaches and remote coastline.
First, your flight travels over beautiful Hanapepe Valley and continues toward Manawaiopuna Falls. This waterfall became famous after appearing in the movie Jurassic Park. Then, the route continues to Olokele Canyon before reaching Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Its colorful rock walls and deep green valleys create one of Kauai’s most dramatic aerial views.
Next, the helicopter approaches Kauai’s north shore, where the Na Pali Coast comes into view. From above, you can see 3,000-foot sea cliffs, caves, isolated beaches and waterfalls. You’ll also see the deep blue waters of Hanalei Bay, the Princeville resort area and famous north shore beaches.
Finally, weather permitting, the tour may continue toward Mt. Waialeale, one of the wettest places on Earth. Flying near the crater area offers a breathtaking view of steep green walls and waterfalls. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters operates this Kauai air tour, making it a good choice for visitors who want a broad look at the island from above.
