Just went on the doors off helicopter tour with Brian and it was freaking amazing! Brian let us know everywhere we went and all about the good spots and was able to get us some amazing photos! I would do it again! Amazing team and captain!

We had a great experience - the ground staff was very professional. Our pilot, Kate, was outstanding and gave a continuous narrative of the land and history as we made the tour. There was no shortage of opportunity for great photo taking; it's a beautiful island and it can't all be seen from the road. We can't say enough about what a nice flight it was. This is a must-do for your vacation!

Absolutely amazing and worth every penny! Must do the doors-off helicopter ride. It makes you feel like you’re a bird flying high above!

I had such an amazing time! The Airborne Aviation team was fun and informative and they made experience that much better. I will definitely come and fly with this company next time I’m on the island.

This was an amazing experience from the moment we opened the door to check-in. The ground crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our pilot Joe was amazing. He was fantastic during the flight in pointing out key areas. Would recommend this experience for everyone!

Many thanks to our experienced pilot, Kate. She kept us well informed as to where we were and pointed out things we never would have seen if we weren’t so close to the. Inner mist beauty of the island. This ride above the island and seeing every place you would want to visit was beyond beautiful. We enjoyed the briefing and explanations as a group before leaving and help with headsets etc. We were in the on doors front seats. The best! The video I got was incredible. Kauai is even more beautiful from above. We saw Waimea Canton and flew where you couldn’t hike to. We did see one hiker with a bike on a ridge! Wild! Thank you Kate and Pareto for the prep and introduction to the experience. I would highly recommend this to everyone. My daughter and I will do it again. Bernadette and China

We have had some amazing experiences on this holiday but this really was another level. Our pilot Kate was exceptional with her control and flying ability, as well as giving knowledgeable commentary about the island. There is no way to see some of the amazing views this island offers other than from the air and having the doors off was an unobstructed view. It is a raw experience with the wind but the headphones provided calmed some of initial panic of lifting off. I’ve not been on a helicopter before and I really don’t think I’ll ever beat this experience which will live with me forever. If there is one thing to do on this island it is this. Unmissable.

Max crushed it. The experience was incredible. Jaw-dropping view after jaw-dropping view. Jurrassic Falls, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast, Hanalei Bay, and more. It was worth every penny. Pack a jacket for sure and bring a lanyard for your cell phone case.

This is a must do! It brought me close to tears because of the beauty and coolness of the flight. I would say the only downside was not being able to clearly understand the pilot through the headphones. I took so many videos and pics.
