The only way to see the island!

Reviewed by: ATJJ, 2023/10/07

What a magnificent way to see the beauty the island has to offer. Worth the price. The pilot was great - she took us really close to the waterfalls and canyons. The trip was smooth. Highly recommend!

Maui Residents LOVING Sunshine Helicopters Tour

Reviewed by: Maui Mondays, 2021/06/08

What an amazing experience. The pilot was just spectacular and so knowledgeable. Truly an epic experience. Kauai is so beautiful from above and we feel so grateful to have this opportunity to see the 80% of the island that most never see. We put together a cool video about our experience that we will share on our YouTube Channel: Maui Mondays as well as our social platform. Mahalo Cannot wait to try out Sunshine Helicopter on Maui

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: Karri, 2019/02/23

Took the “early bird” flight with Sunshine. Absolutely stunning tour - no other way to really see all that the island has to offer. Shay, our transporter and safety guide, was a delight. Wayne was an Outstanding pilot and provided great information and detail during the flight. Awesome! Highly recommend this adventure for anyone coming to Kauai.

Highlight of the whole vacation!

Reviewed by: Kaua'i visitor, 2018/07/08

The helicopter tour of Kaua'i with Sunshine tours was the highlight of our trip. Comfortable ride. The front seat upgrade was well worth the extra cost. Kaua'i was our first Hawaiian visit and the views on the helicopter tour show what allows you to see this incredible island in the best possible way.

Kauai Heli Tour

Reviewed by: Alice, 2018/05/31

I really enjoyed the aerial view of the island and Wayne was a superb pilot, very smooth and we didn’t feel the bumps at all. It’s a great way to see the island from up top including the crater, Napali coast, the valleys, mountains, and waterfalls. We even saw where the Rock is filming. I would certainly recommend!

The best view so far for us

Reviewed by: Sakhom, 2017/07/25

It was a great experience with so much view to absorb during the flight. We all did enjoy it so much and still feel so thrilled and excited looking back to the video from the helo.
The time and views are so memorable for all of us. It was real worth going to the trip with them.

The most awesome way to see Kauai and its beauty

Reviewed by: Fishers, 2016/08/08

Bruce was our driver; he was interesting to listen to. His knowledge of the island was amazing. The beauty of this island is hard to truly see unless you see it with Sunshine Tours. It was a awesome experience.

Helicopter

Reviewed by: Leonard, 2010/10/05

We started our time on Kauai with this. Awesome!! A great overview of the island. I would recommend that people have a basic outline of the major areas but the pilot was terrific. My only disappointment was the quality of the skycam doesn't do justice to the brilliant colors we actually saw!! Also, if the sky cam could be made to pan a little, even say 15 or 20 degrees to either side more of this beauty could be captured!! While a little expensive this is a must do!!

A BIG Mahalo!

Reviewed by: Cece & Jay Pursor, 2010/07/01

We just wanted to send a thank you to HawaiiActivities and Sunshine Helicopters for such an amazing helicopter excursion. This was our first helicopter experience and it surely won't be our last. Seeing waterfalls and green valleys and ocean cliffs from the angles we did was so heavenly. We wish you the best and hope to one day return and do it all over again.

Ultimate Kauai Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/06/18

We had a lovely time on this helicopter ride around Kauai and would recommend this to anyone wanting to take the lazy way of seeing parts of the island we just weren't willing to hike to +++. The valleys and waterfalls were gorgeous and the pilot was first-class. Thank you for the opportunity to post this review.

Highly recommended. We loved seeing Kauai from above. The Na Pali coast is just amazing, and the pilot told us that you can hike in there. Maybe someday when we come back, we'll try. Well-worth every penny. Thanks!
