Fly over Kauai’s valleys, waterfalls, and canyons on a 45-minute helicopter tour with a certified pilot guide.

About this tour

See Kauai’s wild landscapes unfold from the air on a 45-minute Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville. From the lush folds of Hanapepe Valley, look down on steep cliffs and the cascading waters of Manawaiopuna Falls, known as Jurassic Park Falls.

Your State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide pilot shares the journey through a two-way microphone, while Bose aviation-grade noise-canceling headsets help you hear along the way. The route also takes in Olokele Canyon and Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” whose striking terrain was shaped by erosion and the collapse of Kauai’s ancient volcano. You’ll also see the island’s dramatic valleys and the sculptural Bali Hai Mountains.

Arrive an hour early for check-in, the weight check, safety briefing, and boarding. Wear dark clothing if you plan to take photos, and bring a credit card for optional in-flight photo or video packages. Choose this Kauai Helicopter Tour to experience the Garden Isle’s waterfalls and canyons from a remarkable new perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 34 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Kauai
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 32% in Kauai means it ranks in the top 32% of tours in Kauai by this score.
