Wings Over Kauai - Cessna Tour
Enjoy a Kauai air tour on board a two-passenger Cessna, a great way for couples to see all of the island’s beauty. On this 65-minute tour, you’ll get to the entire island, including top sights such as Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast.
Starting in Lihue, you’ll first fly southwest to see Kipu Kai, the beach made famous in the Hollywood movie 6 Days and 7 Nights. Next up is beautiful Hanapepe Valley and the Jurassic Park waterfall. The tour then continues over the immense Waimea Canyon, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.”
Heading north, you’ll fly over the spectacular Na Pali Coast, often called the “jewel of Kauai.” See the hidden valleys and beaches and 3,000-foot cliffs of this otherwise inaccessible coastline.
