Everyone should experience a helicopter tour at least once in a lifetime. We believe there is no better place than Kauai because so much of this magnificent island can only be viewed from the air. Over 80% of our diverse terrain is inaccessible making the helicopter the best way to see our spectacular waterfalls, canyons, mountains, valleys, rain forests and secluded beaches. All of us are concerned about the ecology of our islands. A helicopter tour is the most ecologically friendly way to show our visitors the islands without destroying their natural beauty.
For the first time ever, visitors can now land at Manawaiopuna Falls and feel the awesome power of the waterfall made famous in Steven Spielbergs blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park. This elite tour is a 75-85 minutes in duration and includes a circle island tour of the entire island with sites including The Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Olokele Canyon, Hanalei Bay and Princeville.

The legendary Na Pali Coast, with its dramatic cliffs chisled by time to a razor sharp beckoning, is spellbinding no matter how many times you see it. This is the home of the legendary Bali Hai as seen in the 20th Century Fox movie, South Pacific and yes, it is calling you.

Detailed Tour Information
The Aloha Surf School is an excellent choice to choose for your surf lesson because the majority of their instructors are currently or have been in the past, on the professional surf circuit. My experience has been that not only are they excellent surfers in their own right but that they are able to translate the "how to" part of the skills to their clients. These lessons are generally taught in the Poipu area in a spot just perfect for beginners where there seems to always be enough of a gentle swell to propel the novice surfer to the shoreline. As a result of their excellent instruction most beginners are able to stand up during their first session and feel like a champ.
