Enjoy this amazing landscape without the crowd, a perfect private tour for two. Soar over Kauai's breathtaking mountains and waterfalls and discover a new side of Hawaii. A vast array of green forested hills, and water falling over rain carved cliffs out to a sparkling blue sea, altogether this amazing air tour will teach you exactly why Kauai is called the Garden Isle!
Fly along the entire beautiful and amazing Na Pali Coast of Kauai. Every seat is a window seat, and with us you spend more time gazing at the Na Pali Coast than any other air tour.
Only airplanes include the lovely Kipu Kai and the entire Poipu shoreline of Kauai. The helicopters don't have time for this. We see so much more and have ample time for whale watching along the entire Poipu shoreline.
Weather permitting we like to fly over this waterfall. It is actually three waterfalls in a line, and one of only 100 you will see on this trip, this one best known for the movie Juraissic Park.
We fly the entire Waimea Canyon and see numerous waterfalls below us. The brown, eroded landscape is in sharp contrast the green of the garden isle seen everywhere else. The "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" is a must see.
Sometimes called the Crater because it has walls on three sides, this is a beautiful example of abundant waterfalls on Kauai. We love to fly alongside, the waterfalls off the wing tip, a truly amazing experience which we love to share with you.
Hanalei Bay is one of our largest, and beautiful to see. After passing the bay we fly up Hanalei Valley and the 100's of waterfalls, really ribbons of water gushing down from the sky are on all sides off the wings and underneath the plane, a truly amazing view to behold.

Amazing !!!! Weather fully cooperated for our flight, clouds were above all that we wanted to view, sun was shining making post card views, rains previous day provided water for many more waterfalls to see Ty our pilot was skillful, professional, and very knowledgeable about the area and sights
Wonderful experience. Our pilot was exceptional throughout the flight. Great to view Kauai from the sky. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing private tour with Tai! He was professional, informative, a great pilot and we saw so many beautiful views of Kaua'i. Great customer service from the staff at Wings Over Kauai. They have ginger ale and water in the plane for anyone that needs it. I get severe motion sickness and took my Dramamine the night before and the morning of and I was fine. Definitely do this tour if you want a private experience and/or have motion sickness over a helicopter ride.
This was a fantastic way to see the island! Kai was amazing as our pilot and our guide! Loved every minute of our flight!!
Travis was an excellent pilot and guide. He gave us a lot of information while making sure our flight was as safe and comfortable as possible.
Travis was great - super informative and it was a beautiful afternoon. He loved everything about it. Thanks all
Booking the private Cessna tour was one of the highlights of our trip. It's an amazing value and my husband and I have told everyone about it. We went in May 2026 and we lucked out with the perfect weather with very few clouds. This is an excellent way to see the island. We booked this at the end of our trip, but would recommend for others to book at the beginning as the tour points out all the places and things things one should see and do. Tai was a wonderful pilot!
Tai was the perfect pilot …. I recommend this small personal experience to everyone.
Tai was an excellent pilot and we so enjoyed the time without other people. So many excursions have other people and you just need some quiet I highly recommend this personal tour.
We (wife and I) chartered the private Cessna plane tour in June 2026. We considered the helicopter tours but I used to travel for work in helicopters on occasion and every few years had to take a multi-day course on helicopter safety and how to get out of one when it crashed in the water. Needless to say, I opted for the Cessna. Our pilot (Travis ?) was outstanding and very professional. He was very good at the controls and having grown up on Kaua’i was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and its landmarks. Stunningly beautiful island from the air. Our only complaint was that the flight ended all too soon. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.
