Cessna Tour

The Cessna Kauai Tour is a scenic 65-minute Kauai air tour aboard a two-passenger Cessna. This flight is a great option for couples who want to see the island’s valleys, beaches, waterfalls, canyons and coastline from above.

First, the tour departs from Lihue and heads southwest toward Kipu Kai. This beautiful beach became known after appearing in the Hollywood movie 6 Days and 7 Nights. Then, the flight continues toward Hanapepe Valley and Manawaiopuna Falls, also known as Jurassic Park Falls, when weather conditions allow.

Next, you’ll fly over Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” After that, the route heads north toward the spectacular Na Pali Coast. This remote coastline features hidden valleys, secluded beaches, sea caves, waterfalls and 3,000-foot cliffs.

Along the way, you can also enjoy views of Hanalei Bay, Bali Hai and the waterfalls around Mt. Waialeale, one of the wettest places on Earth. In winter, you may even spot humpback whales in Kauai’s waters when conditions are right. This Kauai air tour is operated by Wings Over Kauai, a local air tour provider known for scenic island flights.
