Helicopters are fun!

by keida84 - last update: Jun 5, 2006

Waimea Canyon from the air
My photos don't really do this flight justice as there was a lot of glare from the windshield of the helicopter. Bummer, but this was an awesome flight and the memories will last a lifetime in my brain. Helicopters are a great way to see the inaccessible vistas and views of this marvelous island.

Helicopter rides can be a tad pricey and it is advisable to make sure the weather will be clear with little to no wind. I would say an early morning flight is the best time as the sun is not up overhead making picture taking a bit tricky due to glare from the windshield. They do have tours where you fly with the doors off but if it is raining or there is wind it will be darned uncomofrtable when you are up at 7,000 feet for sure!
Surreal Napali cliffs

Many movies were filmed on the island

Movies such as, "Bali Hai, Jurrasic Park, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Elvis Presley's Blue Hawai'i" are to name just a few
Bali Hai
Um, are you sure we have the right of way?

Clear to take off, but wait for that jet to leave

ATC (air traffic control) cleared us for take off, I hope that jet below stays put until we clear the runway! Of course they did but I like this photo anyway.

 We also love Kauai! We haven't spent much time on the South Shore though. I'll remember your tips the next time we go. I'd like to see Poipu and Koloa. We've always stayed in Haena on the North Shore.

 Hi Kat, how are you? I’m going to Kauai in about a week & knew you would have some gf8 tips & I’m taking notes ! The CJM Stables "Beach and Swim Picnic Ride" sounds like it would really be new & different for us. Thanks for sharing, Nancy : )
