CAN YOU CHARTER A PRIVATE HELICOPTER ON KAUAI?
Yes — this 50–60 minute private flight carries only your group, with the pilot customizing the route across the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Park’s Manawaiopuna Falls before takeoff.
The difference between a shared helicopter tour and a private one is not the aircraft — it is who decides what you see. On this 50–60 minute private flight, the cabin holds only your group, and the pilot consults with you before takeoff to weight the route toward what you care about: more time hanging along the Na Pali Coast’s seventeen miles of fluted cliffs, a longer run through Waimea Canyon’s red-and-ochre layered walls, or the full approach to Mt.

Yes — the pilot consults with your group before takeoff and weights the 50–60 minute flight toward your priorities: more Na Pali Coast, more Waimea Canyon, or the Waialeale crater approach. Weather has the final vote on the crater.
Yes — the 400-foot falls featured in the film sit on private land in the Hanapepe Valley, unreachable by any ground tour. Helicopters are the only way to see it, and the private route makes time for it.
Dark, solid-colored clothing — it eliminates your own reflection in the panoramic windows, which is the main thing that ruins helicopter photos. Bring a telephoto-capable camera or phone and sunglasses.
