This tour was simply amazing!! Our pilot JT was experienced and knowledgeable. He put all of our fears at ease. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The aerial views of the Na Pali Coast took my breath away. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see all the beauty of Kauai. It was truly worth every penny.

This airplane tour was perfect from start to finish. The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our pilot JT was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He put all of our fears at ease. The one hour plus flight allowed us to see all of Kauai coasts. We saw many waterfalls, the Pacific Grand Canyon and the beautiful Na Pali Coast. It literally took my breath away!!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone!! Mahalo!!

The weather was bad on the day I had made my reservation, and since it was hard to see much, the friendly and approachable staff kindly rescheduled my reservation for the next day. The guide during the flight was in English, so I couldn't understand everything, but I still had a great time! Since I had visited the attractions on Kauai the day before, I enjoyed it twice as much!
予約していた日には天気が悪く、あまりよく見られないとのことで優しく気さくなスタッフさんが、予約を翌日にずらして対応してくれました。
飛行中のガイドは英語だったためあまり理解できなかったですが、十分に楽しめました!
前日までにカウアイ島の観光スポットに行っていたので、2倍楽しめました!

After a friendly and efficient introduction we had a phantastic flight with Marcus. He told us lots of facts about the spots and answered every question. Because of a windowseat everyone had a great possibility to take photos
We total recommend this tour. It was really outstanding.

The visuals were stunning, and the soft background music was nice. There is a prior notice, but if you look at the camera too much during the flight, it can make you feel nauseous; however, I think it's fine as long as you just look outside.
見応え素晴らしく僅かな音量のバックミュージックが良かったです。
事前案内ありますが飛行中カメラ見過ぎと酔いますが、外を観てるだけなら問題ないかと思います。

I thought opportunities to ride in a Cessna are rare, so even though I don't understand much English, I signed up considering the time constraints. The office is a short walk from the airport. When I went to the reception, they confirmed my reservation and explained the course. I weighed in while carrying my luggage, and when it was time, we boarded the plane. Everyone on board wore headsets and checked their microphones. You can see the entire island and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but it shakes in the cloudy parts, so motion sickness medication is a must! Even my friend, who usually doesn't get motion sick, was feeling quite groggy by the time we landed. Still, I felt it was a great experience that I would only have once in a lifetime. It was fun!
セスナに乗る機会なんてそうそうないと思い、英語はあまり分かりませんが時間との兼ね合いも有り申し込みしました。空港から少し歩いた所にオフィスがあります。受付に行くと予約者の確認とコースの説明をされ、荷物を持ったまま体重測定をし、時間になったら乗り込みます。機内では全員ヘッドセット?を装着しマイクの確認をします。島の全貌が良くわかり、美しい景色を堪能出来ますが、雲の部分で揺れるので酔い止めは必須です!!普段酔わない友達も降りる頃にはかなりグロッキーになってしまっていました。
それでも一生に一回の良い体験をしたと思いました。楽しかったです。

There are bags available on board in case you feel nauseous, and they also provide instructions on how to deal with motion sickness before the flight. So, for those who are sensitive, I think taking motion sickness medication would make for a more comfortable journey in the sky.
To be honest, it does shake quite a bit, and although the sensation is brief, it feels like a roller coaster several times. I was able to enjoy my time without any issues, taking in the views of Kauai Island from above.
However, for someone like me with very low English comprehension, I understood about 90% of the guide's explanations (laughs). Putting aside my lack of knowledge, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if there had been a Japanese brochure for Kauai Island.
機内に酔った時のために袋が常備されていますし、飛ぶ前の説明でも酔った時の対処方法を教えられます。なので弱い方は酔い止めを飲まれたほうが快適に空の旅を過ごせると思います。
正直けっこう揺れますし、ジェットコースターのような感覚が短いですが何度もあります。
私は問題なく快適に過ごせましたので、空から見るカウアイ島を満喫できました。
ただ英語の理解能力が非常に低い私にとって、ガイドの方の説明は90%分かりませんでした (笑)
自分の教養のなさを棚に上げますが、カウアイ島の日本語パンフレットがあればもっと楽しめたかな。

The view of Kauai Island from the sky was magnificent, offering a scenery that can't be experienced in Japan. It rained a little, but it stopped quickly, and right after that, I was able to see a double rainbow, which made me feel so happy.

It was fun to see the Napali Coast for less than a helicopter tour! The staff from the tour company were very friendly. However, if your goal is to get close to the waterfalls like you would in a helicopter, I wouldn't recommend this. It gives you more of an overview from above.
ヘリより安く、ナパリコーストを見渡す事ができ、楽しかったです!

ヘリのように滝まで近づく事はなかったので、それを目的ならオススメしません。
真上からぐるっと見渡す感じです。

The plane was good, but please take motion sickness pills before boarding. Also be prepared to get hot while on the plane tour. The Smith's Luau was the best thing we did while in Kauai. Very well organized by the Smith family and very polite and treat you like a family visitor. The show was awesome! Luau is a MUST and plane ride is 50/50 choice.

This was one of our favorite things that we did while we were in Kauai(and we did a lot!). The flight was beautiful! I can't even put into words how amazing this was. I was a little apprehensive about being in a plane versus the helicopter but I was happy with the decision we made. I saw helicopters along the tour and they do get a little closer to the waterfalls and mountains but there is something truly amazing about getting a zoomed out view of Kauai, I feel like I got to see more of the island this way. In addition to the scenery, the pilot was extremely nice and knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole flight. Furthermore, the other staff at Wings over Kauai were AMAZING! They have a few surprises for their guests that I won't ruin here, but I will say that they are very generous! I HIGHLY recommend this activity to everyone!!!

Really enjoyed the flight, the pilot was excellent, but, the entire experience hinges on which side of the plane you happen to be seated on. As you depart, the coastline is on the right side of the plane, which allows you to see the attractions the pilot is making reference to. If you are on the left, you mostly view the open sea. He does circle around occasionally, however your view is a brief one, usually right on top, making it very difficult to get a good angle for a picture. I enjoyed the pilot, his commentary was very insightful, however, I would only recommend this excursion for anyone assured of seat on the right side of the plane.

This was a great attraction to take! I was told the best way to see Kauai was by air, but was not crazy about taking a helicopter ride, so this was a great alternative. The pilot, Paul, was great and very informative! The weather wasn't the best (rained some), but we still got to see alot and Paul made sure that if it was raining in one area, we went around it to see it from the back side or another angle. It was great! There was six in my group and we all said we would do it again!

Whether you are visiting Kauai for the first time or if you are a seasoned traveler, you will definitely want to check out Kauai Air Tour - Air Ventures Hawaii. There is no better value for your money.
The staff at Air Ventures was so helpful and courteous. Our pilot, Joel made landing in a small aircraft feeling like you were on a huge jet. It was the best landing I have ever experienced; I tried to convenience him to travel back and pilot our plane to San Diego. His pilot skills were superior; he could easily become a commercial pilot.
Air Ventures -- you offered me a once in a lifetime opportunity. I give you the highest form of recognition. Thank you for all that you have done. You can rest assured if I ever make it back to your Hawaii you will be the first business I call to book my air excursion.
