The helicopter ride was absolutely amazing. Our pilot was great and did a wonderful job educating us throughout the tour. The island is so beautiful, it was such a treat to be able to see so much of it from the air and view sights that we would not have seen otherwise. If you are going to Hawaii, a helicopter... More

The trip was good from start to finish and we were fortunate that the weather was clear and very sunny and we went to the top of the mountain. More

This trip is quite a treat from start to finish. Fun but also very well organized. The highlight of the trip is our "stop-over" at Keith Robinson's land. The Robinsons have owned a huge chunk of Kauai since 1864. Keith Robinson, a staunch environmentalist, allows helicopters to land on his property so that he can talk to people about his... More

You cannot visit Kaua'i without the helicopter tour. Booking online was very convenient however it is also difficult since I did not know which helicopter tour company is reputable. I'm glad I chose Safari. There are many areas in Kaua'i that cannot be reached by foot or seen by boat but only from the air and Safari Helicopter provided us... More

We had a wonderful ride with John, Chief Pilot. Ride was very smooth and informative with a little humor tossed in. Scenery was spectacular. A very good enjoyable hour for the money. Staff was very friendly and helpful. More

We flew with Safari during the week of the Jan 16th on our honeymoon. The staff were the most friendly bunch of people that I have met in a long time. The pilot was extremely informative and knew exactly when to let the scenery speak for itself, as it often does in beautiful Kauai!! Be sure to take this once... More

I would love to do another helicopter tour of Kauai so I would have something to compare this one to. For starters, it was a rainy, blustery day and we weren’t sure if we would even fly but showed up on time anyway. We were happy to hear the tour was a go. Other reviews have mentioned the available room... More

Booked with Safari Helicopters a trip for my spouse & best friend. I was a little nervous since it was my first time in a helicopter. The office manager went over safety measures and helped me feel more at ease. Our pilot, Ian, was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is truely a family operation. Of course the sceneary was beautiful.... More
