Kauai Helicopter Tours
Kauai, the lushest and most remote of the Hawaiian Islands, is a great place to go for a helicopter tour and has been used in movies like "Jurassic Park." It makes a perfect back drop for a romantic vacation or for picture journals or photo enthusiasts. It has some of the best scenery and some great geological formations that can only be viewed by helicopter. If this sounds like something you would enjoy then here are some companies and tours that are offered on this picturesque island.
Safari Helicopters
Safari Helicopters is a top helicopter touring company that offers a tour on Kauai island. The tour is 55 minutes and is only about 175 dollars after taxes and surcharges. This is one of the best helicopter deals that you can find. Be sure to book at least 3 days in advance, and even longer would work best to ensure that you will be able to have a seat reserved for you. There is no set time, you book your flight and then you can specify AM or PM and they will contact you with your flight details. There is a 10% reservation change fee and you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance to get a refund.
Will Squyres
Will Squyres also has some fantastic tours and is one of the most prestigious touring companies on the island of Kauai. Will has worked with Hollywood on both "Jurrasic Park" and its sequel "The Lost World." His helicopter touring company offers two tours of Kauai, although only one is a true tour. The true tour is fairly expensive at $249 an adult after the fuel surcharge, but it takes you to the most interesting sights on Kauai. The other is a photo and film charter where you rent out the entire helicopter for $1200 an hour. This is one of the cheapest ways to have your own private helicopter tour, most of them run about $1500.
Jack Harter Helicopters
Jack Harter Helicopters is the oldest helicopter touring company in Hawaii and has been around since 1962. He started the first helicopter tours on Hawaii and is a renovator in the industry. Jack Harter Helicopters currently offers tours of Kauai in a Hughes 500 with the rear doors off. This is completely safe. The tour is one of the most exhilarating experiences that you will have while on the island of Kauai...or anywhere.
