    The helicopter experience here has people genuinely gushing, with pilot names like Felipe, Wayne, Adam, Brian, and Mac repeatedly mentioned for their professionalism and personality. What stands out is how smoothly everything runs from start to finish. Check-in is described as seamless, safety briefings are thorough, and the staff creates a welcoming atmosphere that sets the tone before you even take off. Multiple reviewers mention this felt like one of the best experiences of their entire lives, which isn't something you hear casually. The doors-off option gets massive praise and seems to be the way most people choose to fly. Yes, it's windier and colder in the back seats (bring a jacket and skip the contacts), but reviewers say the unobstructed views and photo opportunities make it absolutely worth it. The pilots clearly know the island well, providing commentary throughout and positioning the helicopter for optimal viewing and pictures. Several people specifically mention how the aerial perspective reveals parts of Kauai you simply can't access by car or foot, making this feel essential rather than just a nice add-on to your trip.

    While searching for a reputable helicopter tour company, I ran across Airborne Aviation as top contender for our tour. This company did not disappoint. They were highly experienced pilots with great personalities. Our pilot Filipe made both my wife and I’s first helicopter ride ever, even more that memorable. The views from the helicopter are unparalleled with any other. This is 100% the best thing to do in Kauai and I feel Airborne Aviation is definitely one of the best companies to choose. From email and text information on the upcoming tour, to check in and pre-flight regulatory instructions; this company has it dialed in. I recommend this company to anyone looking for a great experience flying over Kauai. Top notch company. 🤙🏻
