60-Minute Doors-Off MD500 KAUAI HELICOPTER ADVENTURE
Overview
Experience the thrill of a lifetime with our Doors-Off helicopter tour over breathtaking Kauai. On this exhilarating adventure, our knowledgeable and skilled pilots share insightful commentary as you feel the wind and get unobstructed views of the island's iconic landmarks.
We fly a FULL 60-65 minute tour. You won’t want to settle for any less than 60 minutes, as this allows our pilots to take their time at each viewpoint and rotate the helicopter so all passengers have a great view regardless of seating arrangements.
Safety is our top priority, and our Doors-Off helicopter tours adhere to the highest industry standards. We fly a MD500E aircraft, one of the safest and best helicopter makes in the world, from our specially designed helicopter with the doors removed and pilot controls on the left hand side.
Please know we fly a full tour with all seats sold. Maximum of 4 passengers per helicopter. Ages 10 and older. Weight restrictions apply.
