Kauai Blue Sky Helicopter Tour — Jurassic Falls, Nā Pali & Waimea Canyon

Soar over all of Kauai's unreachable wonders in a single flight — hidden waterfalls, the secret Manawaiopuna 'Jurassic' Falls, and the full Nā Pali Coast from above. Seventy percent of Kauai is accessible only by air; this is how its greatest secrets are revealed.

What to expect

The helicopter lifts from Lihue Airport (minutes from the port) and immediately banks over the emerald ridgelines of Kauai's interior. The first revelation is Manawaiopuna Falls — the 400-ft cascade made famous as Jurassic Park's helipad — hovering so close you can feel the mist. The flight then sweeps the full length of the Nā Pali cliffs, diving into hidden valleys only accessible to helicopters, before circling the cathedral walls of Waimea Canyon. The 50-minute Kauai All Islands tour is the undisputed way to see Kauai's full grandeur in a single, unforgettable arc.
