It was a very enjoyable and worth the money to see the many beautiful sights! Travis was very informative in sharing his knowledge of the island. My wife and I both were glad we took the tour. We highly recommend it.

Itinerary
Fly along the entire beautiful and amazing Na Pali Coast of Kauai. Every seat is a window seat, and with us you spend more time gazing at the Na Pali Coast than any other air tour.
Only airplanes include the lovely Kipu Kai and the entire Poipu shoreline of Kauai. The helicopters don't have time for this. We see so much more and have ample time for whale watching along the entire Poipu shoreline.
We fly the entire Waimea Canyon and see numerous waterfalls below us. The brown, eroded landscape is in sharp contrast the green of the garden isle seen everywhere else. The "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" is a must see.
Weather permitting we like to fly over this waterfall. It is actually three waterfalls in a line, and one of only 100 you will see on this trip, this one best known for the movie Juraissic Park.
Sometimes called the Crater because it has walls on three sides, this is a beautiful example of abundant waterfalls on Kauai. We love to fly alongside, the waterfalls off the wing tip, a truly amazing experience which we love to share with you.
Hanalei Bay is one of our largest, and beautiful to see. After passing the bay we fly up Hanalei Valley and the 100's of waterfalls, really ribbons of water gushing down from the sky are on all sides off the wings and underneath the plane, a truly amazing view to behold.

This was the highlight of our stay in Kauai. Everything was amazing starting with their very nice and helpful lady with booing. Our pilot, Travis was very friendly warm and welcoming and of course, a very skilled pilot (that very important!). His narrative of what we were seeing made for a fantastic tour. In summary, if you plan to be in Kauai, maker certain you book a flight tour with this company. It’s a great value and fun Albert M Baker November 3, 2026
Our pilot was great. You cannot beat the fabulous scenery and his knowledge of the island. So kind and patient. Very enjoyable.
Flying in an airplane is preferable to helicopters. Less noise, less distraction. Less cost. In Kauai, more scenic territory gets covered. Our pilot has the gift of being able to fly the plane and maintain an informative dialog with passengers. He met us once while boarding and used our names throughout. My hopes were not high due to an overcast sky. Once we got up, he navigated successfully between them — we never had a lapse in viewing the beautiful views of paradise.
Incredible experience. Travis was our pilot and he was so kind and knowledgeable. The island was even more breathaking from the sky. A truly unforgettable experience!
The Kauai sightseeing flight was a mind-blowing experience! Watching Kauai, the Na Pali Coast, and the famous Jurassic Park waterfall from above was incredible. We loved it and highly recommend it!
The best way to see the island in a short amount of time. Our guide Travis was a great pilot and tour guide. And, I didn’t get any motion sickness, unlike the boat tours!
Our flight was great. The pilot shared so much information with us as well as his love of the island. The views were amazing. I would go again
If you are on the fence about booking this tour... don't think about it. Just do it! What an incredible experience! Travis was our pilot/guide and he was absolutely fantastic. Wings Over Kauai was very easy to find once getting to the airport and the check in and safety briefing was a breeze. We felt very safe from wheels up to wheels down. Every seat was a window seat and the views are unlike anything we've ever seen! As a total Jurassic Park nerd, this was a bucket list item for me. Unbelievable once in a lifetime views of a place only accessible by air or sea. What a great way to start our Hawaii vacation!
Travis was a great pilot ! Showed us the beautiful island of Kaua'i . Saw many waterfalls , spotted the first whale of the season and many other points if interest. The best way to see the island !
Trevor was a great pilot. Scenery was beautiful and his play by play was great!
This was an awesome way to start out a trip to Kauai! It helped me plan other sights to visit and the fixed wing plane allowed us to see more of the island in a quick trip that the rotary wing versions of these tours. Awesome views and great flight, very happy that I got to take part in this.
Our pilot and guide Travis was wonderful. He did a great job giving us wonderful views while keeping us nice and safe during a bit of weather we encountered. Well worth it!
Such a wonderful experience! We got to see the whole island from the air, and the flight was very smooth. Our pilot explained everything really well, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would do it again without a doubt and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.
Perfect flight over a perfect island. Pilot was personable, knowledgable and a great pilot. Amazing flight.
This was a fantastic way to see some beautiful sights! Kiley and Jay crushed this trip, between beautiful sights, geology, and the human history of the space their knowledge added plenty to the trip. There was great wildlife to see including four different pods of dolphins, the boat was comfortable and fast, making sure that we got to see the most possible on this trip. Couldn’t recommend it enough, big thanks to the team that made it happen.
There are no words to describe the beauty of seeing Kauai from the air. Customer service in booking and in changing a flight time was outstanding; emails were answered promptly and professionally. The flight was fantastic. Truly the best experience we had in touring the Hawaiian Islands.
Great trip!Definitely worth the money.Pilot was very knowledgeable and competent.Beautiful scenery.
It was a wonderful experience. I will remember forever. Travis was a great pilot. We all loved it.
This flight was amazing. Our pilot was fantastic! The flight was so smooth and the island views were something out of this world. Would 10/10 recommend.
Keko was fun and provided interesting information about the island. The view is spectacular. They even provided ginger ale for those with weaker stomachs.
This is a good value tour with 1 hour up in the air. Highly recommend. Super easy process & very close to the Cruise Terminal. Very personable staff. 5 Stars & 2 Thumbs Up
Kamron was an amazing guide and made the adventure very fun.
We had a great tour. All of the employees were very nice. We had a great pilot Coa. It was a great way to see the island.
We did not realize until we got to the island that our toddler was not allowed on most tours so we had to scramble to find something. I read about Wings Over Kauai on a Hawaii with toddlers FB group and I'm glad I did! The flight was really special and we got to see parts of the island that we wouldn't have been able to any other way. Well worth the cost.
This was a great way to see many parts of the Island that you would not see any other way than by air. Our tour guide Cade was great. He told us about all the different areas of the Island including history as well.
Cade was excellent. He really knows his home island. Did a great job the entire flight dodging the clouds and still getting us the best views of the entire island. Being able to hear the comms and position reports was great for some additional SA.
It was the perfect day. The views were amazing. Koa are pilot was very knowledgeable. It definitely compares with a helicopter.
Booked a flight over Kauai. Wow! What a great way to see the island. Our pilot, Marcus, was very informative and gave a great narrative of the areas we were flying over. The cost was reasonable. I highly recommend this tour.
Our plane tour over Kauai was absolutely amazing! The views of Waimea Canyon and the breathtaking Nā Pali Coast were incredible. Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more special. This is a must-do when visiting Kauai. Highly recommend!
If i could give this ten stars, I would! From start to finish this experience was wonderful. Check-in went smoothly, and boarding our plane was an efficient process. Our guide, Koa, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the island, its history, and the sights we saw. He made sure passengers on both sides of the plane were able to enjoy the views and spent time answering everyones questions. The views themselves were spectacular, and in my many travels I've never experienced something so incredible. Its not an exaggeration to say I teared up at how gorgeous the views were. Worth every single penny and I would absolutely do this again.
Definitely a must do trip. Our pilot, Travis, was excellent. A fantastic way to see the beautiful island of Kauai.
What a beautiful way to see the island! Our pilot Kane was excellent and shared tons of information about the views and the history of the island. Highly recommend this tour to all.
Good island coverage with inaccessible locations
To celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. As as our cruise was in Kauai ,I booked this experience to make it a special day for her . We flew with Travis today, we had a awesome experience. He's a great pilot and extremely informative. Thank you for the great experience and beautiful views. Would certainly recommend this experience it was Awesome
Wonderful trip after a delayed start due to fuel shortage at airport. Totally worth it!
Koa was an expert telling us the history of the mountains, waterfalls, Napoli coast, etc. Had a great time, highly recommend to take this tour.
Such an experienced pilot - we felt so safe! The views were amazing and our pilot Travis was so friendly and knowledgeable!
Must do in Kauai to view the whole island. Experience was surreal, staff were really friendly and organized.
It was incredible! Though a splurge, it was also such an awesome and exciting experience. Definitely recommend if it’s on your bucket list! Take Dramamine
Beautiful flight seeing tour over the island of Kauai. It was magical experience, seeing the varied landscapes from the air, the coastline, the canyon, and the mountains. Spotted lots of waterfalls. Marcus our guide was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this experience
Wow, what a great flight! The views were spectacular and the pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Smooth plane ride with expert pilot. Prone to motion sickness, but had no issues with this adventure.
Travis was amazing and considerate of our time as we had to reschedule to our departure date (due weather) and he was very helpful and reassuring of time considerations.
We did this same tour 8 years ago. It’s still a trip highlight. We have done helicopter tours in the past but they have gotten too expensive so the Cessna is a great compromise. We still saw most of what we saw on the helicopter but at a significantly lower price. Kauai is so beautiful it’s always worth doing a boat or air tour since so much of the island cannot be seen from the ground. An hour always feels too short. All window seats and individual headsets are so helpful. The biggest disadvantage is that due to time constraints you can’t see it all. Even though the pilot did circles for some of the areas I think those on the port side of the plane were a bit shorted and you cannot choose your side as passengers are assigned seats to balance weight. Our pilot also was not as chatty as the last one and I do like lots of miscellaneous comments on what we are seeing.
It’s a one hour flight around the island, giving a view of so many beautiful places. It was well worth it.
Travis was an amazing pilot and guide! We learned a lot and Kauai is beautiful! Mahalo!
Great flight over the island. You get to see a lot.
This plane trip was really impressive. The pilot was really nice and took the time to explain a little of the history and the locations of Kauai. It really is a must do activity
Our tour operator Travis was an amazing guide! We flew over so many beautiful parts of the island like Waimea Canyon, the Na’Pali coast, sea caves and so many waterfalls!! We also learned a lot about the history of Kauai. I’d highly recommend booking!
