See Kauai on a deluxe sightseeing flight! For approximately an hour, you’ll enjoy Kauai’s stunning scenery from the air, as you explore this Hawaiian island, renowned for its jagged mountain peaks and rushing waterfalls. In a new GA8 Airvan plane, you’ll have fabulous views of the Garden Isle from the plane’s large bubble windows.
Climb aboard the new Australian- made GA8 Airvan airplane for a personalized deluxe tour of the most beautiful landscape in the world – the Hawaiian island of Kauai! The GA8 Airvan is the ideal plane for touring Kauai's skies. It holds a maximum of six people for an intimate experience and was specifically designed for observational flights – it has a high wing design, large windows for optimal photo-taking opportunities, and a slow, stable cruising speed of 125-135 knots.
Soar through the Waimea Canyon before catching your breath as the majestic cathedral spires of the Na Pali are suddenly beneath you. Fly alongside the ridgeline behind the lovely Hanalei Bay, and travel south to see the numerous waterfalls of Hanalei Valley, as well as the crater below Kauai’s Mt Wai`ale`ale. In the winter months, you may even spot whales.
As you fly, your experienced pilot will share with you the rich history and mythical lore of Kauai. Against a background of Hawaiian slack-key music, your state-of-the-art, noise-canceling Bose headset allows for open communication throughout the flight between you and your pilot. Feel free to ask any questions, ask to spend extra time in areas that interest you most or ask to revisit that last waterfall for the best photograph you've ever taken!
You’ll hear expert agricultural commentary from the chief operating pilot and research scientist. At approximately 65-70 minutes, this safe and thrilling experience is the ultimate air tour of the Garden Island.

This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai! The weather didn't cooperate with us most of the trip so we had to keep rescheduling but Doug, our pilot was accommodating working with us so we were able to finally go on the last day of the trip and it was so worth it. Definitely recommend this tour!

This flight was fabulous! Kauai is a beautiful island. It is hard to see by land due to limited access. In only a one hour flight we were able to see most of the island. Flying by plane was more comfortable than flying by helicopter. And it cost less! I would love to do this flight again.
Review by: Bill B, March 2018
A good overview of the island at a more reasonable price than a helicopter tours.
Review by: Susan N, January 2018
Pilot was knowledgeable..Great views of the interior of the island...saw whales. It was a little tight in the plane for tall people.
Review by: Saima Q, January 2018
Our pilot Doug was awesome. Besides him , 6 people can fit in the plane. We went over the whole island. It is a great way to see the island. The Na pali coast is accessible by boat or air. It is breathtaking. Must see. A better cost alternative to a helicopter ride. Definitely recommend it.

Interesting seeing the island from the air. Great flight.
Review by: Lindsey E, December 2017
This truly is the best way to see all that Kauai has to offer. Once you are in the air it is easy to see why Kauai is nicknamed the garden island. Our tour guide was amazing he even had a customized playlist to listen to while we were viewing the island. If you want to see all of Kauai I highly recommend doing this tour.

Loved this tour! Pilot Marcus did an excellent job of flying the plane and describing the area below us. The scenery was stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.
Review by: Anne W, September 2017
This was a truly amazing flight that should not be missed and really is the Hawain Grand Canyon._br/_ You experience the beauty and landscape of this lovely island, that can only be viewed from the air._br/_ Having your own window to view what Kauai hides from the ground is brilliant, the seats are comfy_br/_ and the flight very smooth, a fantastic experience.
Review by: Ann M, September 2017
Marcus was a great pilot, describing what we were seeing as we flew over the beautiful island, and the noise reducing headphones allowed us to hear Marcus and also ask questions. I recommend this trip.
Review by: tmp9289, August 2017
Doug our pilot was fantastic and he was very patient with my eager son and all his talking/questions on the flight.
Review by: Frankidee, July 2017
Loved this activity! Last time here I took the helicopter island tour but found that the Wings Over Kauai flight, taken in a roomy single engine, high-wing, aircraft, much more enjoyable. Not gut turning and nauseating dives down to see the beaches, etc., just a nice stable and gentle 65 minute flight. Our pilot, Marcus, was knowledgeable and a great pilot. Highly recommend.
Review by: Gene S, June 2017
Great pilot he was able to give very clear information about the island . Ride was great no bumps. It was beautiful to see the island from birds eye view.
Review by: Ronald S, May 2017
Outstanding Tour! Highly recommend it. Marcus was such a pleasant pilot with a vast knowledge of the Island.
Review by: Susy C, May 2017
Amy was our driver who picked us up near the port and drove us to the airport, she was lovely. Val checked us in, she was great. They warned us that our pilot Marcus looked like he was 12 years old. Yes he did, but his credentials are high, so many flying hours, a commercial pilot and knows Kauai. He was great, enjoyed not only the flight, but the commentary and especially this beautiful island, sunny on one side, then rain in the mountains and seeing those magnificent waterfalls, this is the way to explore this beautiful island.
Review by: Patricia G, March 2017
Excellent experience with personal touches. Extremely professional and friendly. Safe, experienced pilot Marcus shared his knowledge of the island while offering excellent views for the rider's enjoyment. Cannot recommend wings over Kauai enough!!!
Review by: Barry B, March 2017
Our Wings Over Kauai tour was nothing short of amazing. Marcus is a skilled pilot who did his best to minimize turbulence during our trip. He was wonderful with assisting my husband who had some difficulty getting in the plane due to some joint issues. Marcus is very knowledgeable about the island and told us about the history and geology of the places we were seeing. I took some awesome photos because he took the time so everyone who wanted to get a shot was able to do so from the best vantage point. As Marcus told us, 70 of the island is only visible from the air and we had the opportunity to see much of it. The landing at the end of our trip was as gentle as a feather. I highly recommend this tour if you truly want to experience the exquisite beauty of Kauai.

Excellent experience. Pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable and the views were amazing!
Review by: Nrsimhananda G, October 2016
Our pilot was the best. You would never even know that we took off or landed as it was light as a feather. He had great information about everything that we were seeing and had great advice on hiking.
Review by: Diane L A, October 2016
This was an amazing tour. Everyone at this company was awesome. Our pilot/guide was Marcus. He was so knowledgeable about the area and spared no effort to make this experience special. The scenery we experienced on this flight literally brought me to tears. Such amazingly beautiful and spiritually uplifting vistas that can only be experienced by air. If you are afraid to fly in a small plane, this is the pilot for you.Takeoff and landing so smooth, you wouldn't know if your eyes were closed!! Thanks to all at Wings over Kauai!

Wir hatten einen sehr guten Piloten, der uns alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung zeigte. Es gab genug Möglichkeiten Bilder zu machen. Die Zeit ging leider viel zu schnell vorbei. Empfehlung für alle Altersklassen.
Review by: Robert C, September 2016
Great tour! Very friendly, experience and knowledgeable pilot even though he looked very young.
Review by: Christina G, July 2016
Absolutely breathtaking ride! A great way to see the island. Our pilot, Marcus, was very knowledgeable and flew the plane with ease. I highly recommend this tour! Wings over Kauai is a first class company!
Review by: Luciana O, June 2016
Our tour was absolutely amazing!!!!Our trip was scheduled for a Saturday morning but due to rainy weather we asked and Bruce and his team made arrangements to accomodate us the day before since we flew all the way from Florida. We can and #39;t stop talking about it.A must do.Thank you Bruce and your team!!
Review by: Edward A, June 2016
We booked this tour as part of our honeymoon, there was only three of us on this little plane! It was epic! I spent the whole time gasping at the scenery, the music that accompanied the flight was incredible. The staff were great and everything was fantastic. I would definitely do this again and recommended to others.
Review by: Mary H, June 2016
GREAT tour!!! I am scared to fly, but I got this trip for my husband who loves to fly. I was at ease the entire time and really enjoyed it a lot. Scenery was amazing and our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them and will do this trip again!!

Amazing!!!!
Review by: Stanley W, March 2016
After a false start in the morning due to bad weather the flight was amazing. Although low clouds made the flight less than perfect it was still wonderful to see the sights of the island and the whales that were there during February. I'll be going on this flight again when I return later this year.
Review by: Erika B, February 2016
Caitlin and Captain Bruce made the entire Kauai vacation an awesome experience. We had great flight mates! Captain Bruce is very personable and engaging. He punctuated our clear and calm morning flight with humor, history, personal stories and a whale sighing. This flight experience was truly a value for dollar. Once we landed, they provided us with a personalized gift to remember the incredible event. Thank you ---- Wings Over Kauai. Mahalo A Hui Hou

Review by: Jean L, February 2016
This was the most amazing trip. All the personnel involved were very polite and helpful. The pilot was knowledgeable and very accommodating.

This was a fantastic experience in every respect._br/_ Beautiful flight. _br/_ Very pleasant staff. _br/_ Reasonable prices.
Review by: Jacek R, December 2015
The flight was magical! It's the best thing we did during our stay in Hawaii. The head of the company is a charming man and flying with him was a real pleasure. Much better and more interesting than a helicopter ride we have a comparison. The flight is stable and calm, no shakes and no swings. Great for photographers. You can see the whole island from above, with all its natural wonders. We recommend it wholeheartedly!
Review by: Richard B, December 2015
Only way to see Kauai!! Great service and excellent commentary while flying.
Review by: YVETTE W, December 2015
The flight was good, and the pilot knowledgable about the island. Friendly family owned and run company with personalised experience.
Review by: Karen M, November 2015
From check in throughout the flight, it was a wonderful experience. Despite clouds, a smooth flight, thanks to a very capable pilot that doubles as your tour guide. Purchased the link to the video from our flight - well worth it for the memories and to augment my own camera shots.

My husband and I truly enjoyed the experience, It was amazing to see the island from above ground!! The captain made it personal and fun. Will recommend it to anyone.
Review by: Roseanne, July 2015
I thoroughly enjoyed the flight. The pilot Josh was very informative and pleasant. My only recommendation would be to tell people if they get motion sickness to take something ahead of time. I sat in the back and I was ok but the person in front of me wasn't
Review by: William F, June 2015
Beth and I enjoyed the flight immensely. It was a great way to see the island and Josh was a great pilot. I recommend you buy the video afterwards. We downloaded it and have been sharing it with our family back at home. It's well made and exceeded our expectations. Aloha!
