The best helicopter tour in Kauai

Kauai is the helicopter island. Most of its interior, including Wai'ale'ale (one of the wettest places on earth) and large stretches of the Na Pali Coast, can only be seen from the air. Jack Harter Helicopters started Kauai helicopter tourism in 1962 and was the first operator to offer doors-off flights. The doors-off option is the one to book if you can handle wind in your face for an hour. Photos are dramatically better without window glare and the experience is closer to flying than to riding. Wear closed-toe shoes and put nothing loose in your pockets.
