Air Ventures Kauai Circle Island Airplane Tour (from Lihue)
Fly with one of the safest air tours in Hawaii. Expert plane pilots take you over stunning scenery, flying low and slow for best viewing!
The remote and rugged beauty of Kauai is best appreciated from above! Many of the Garden Island's most dramatic and beautiful areas are totally inaccessible by car so to truly see the island you have to get off (or above) the beaten path. Gaze out at the cathedral-like spires of the Napali Coastline; soar above Hanalei Bay’s white crescent sand beach and sapphire blue waters; marvel at the steep red valley walls of Waimea Canyon and the river that meanders through it; and gain an albatross’s view of the waterfall saturated walls of Mt. Waialeale.
