The Private Kauai Air Tour departs from Lihue Airport and offers a scenic flight over the entire island. This private Kauai air tour includes views of Waimea Canyon, the remote Na Pali Coast, waterfalls, beaches, valleys and many of Kauai’s most famous landmarks.
Because the tour uses a Cessna aircraft with room for up to three passengers, it works well for couples, small families or friends who want a more personal sightseeing experience. Along the way, your pilot shares narration about Kauai’s geography, history and culture.
First, the route may include Kauai’s Gold Coast, where you can see popular hotels, beaches and south shore scenery from above. Then, the flight continues over island highlights such as Fern Grotto, the Wailua River, Kilauea Lighthouse, Hanalei Valley and Mt. Waialeale Crater.
Next, the tour showcases dramatic natural areas, including Manawaiopuna waterfall, also known as Jurassic Falls, and Waimea Canyon. Finally, the flight continues toward Polihale Beach and the Na Pali Coast, where 21 miles of uninhabited coastline include Honopu Arches and Kalalau Beach. Air Ventures Hawaii operates this private sightseeing flight with aircraft designed for comfortable island viewing.
