While in Kauai, my wife and I wanted to experience an aerial tour of the island. Most of the helicopter tours were fairly expensive, but Wings Over Kauai offered a thorough tour at a much more reasonable price, and it was absolutely worth it. Cade, our pilot, flew us over nearly the entire island while narrating the experience the whole way through. He made sure to point out some of the island's most beautiful locations, shared interesting history about Kauai, and even talked about some of his own aspirations and experiences, which made the tour feel even more personal. He was an excellent pilot, and the plane itself was really fun and unique to fly in. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai! read more

So glad we did this! There are many businesses that do plane/ helicopter rides but I would recommend this one the most!!!! Marcus was our flight attendant! He was so awesome and was born and raised here! I loved hearing about the history of beautiful Kauai! He made us feel safe and we had a lot of fun! Very personable! It's also more affordable than the helicopter rides for the same thing! read more

By far one of thee biggest highlights of our trip during the summer. Our pilot was incredible, he gave us such an informative tour. The views really were breathtaking, I would have posted more but then that would take away the fun of experiencing this yourself. We wanted to see the island but also didn't want to break the bank for a family of 4 to take a helicopter ride. This was affordable, safe, well air ventilated and prepared for anything that could go wrong. Even though my 5 year old did fall asleep. She still naps, so really it felt like a sound machine for her with all the noise (I don't blame her) and that shows how relaxing the whole tour was for us. Our tour was about 60- ish minutes. It was just the right amount to take with young kids, they do have a longer version but I'm glad with the one we chose. You need to come at least 30 min before to prep and then off you go! Thank you wings over Kauai for such an unforgettable moment we will cherish forever. read more

Had a great flight with WOK. My only complainant would not be Wings fault as the trip was very overcast and poor visibility for most of the flight. The ground crew and pilot were both awesome. Easy to get to from the cruise port. Just make sure to check both ride share sites. U we wants 50 one way and Lyft was 8. The value for the flight was perfect best 150 spent. I'd 100% do it again on a clear day so I Callie get better picks than I got on this trip. Until next time WOK. read more

What an awesome experience! Great knowledgeable pilot that gave us a lot of local perspective on the island of Kauai. Plus we got some amazing pictures that are now matted and framed in our home. Highly recommend this if you're visiting! read more

Excursion my husband chose & boy what a treat. Checked in & they go over safety guidelines. They snapped a few photos for us with the airplane. The plane was comfy & headphones worked great to muffle out noise & you can hear pilot & other passengers well. Pilot Marcus was great at explaining what he was doing at all times & described what we were seeing. He flew over island. The scenery was epic. Saw the Grand Canyon of Kauai, waterfalls you don't see otherwise, Nepali coast, the amazing green mountains & all the beaches. We were in the air for about an hour. I recommend this excursion. read more

Greeat overview of the island for much cheaper than the helicopter tours! Smooth piloting on a sunny day and we saw everything we wanted to see! We had to downgrade from the Cessna after the plane needed repairs but the experience the 6 seater was fine too, got great pics without too much glare! read more

What a wonderful tour of the island! Our pilot, Koa, was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed ourselves so much we wanted to go again as soon as we landed! Kauai is so breathtaking and we felt the tour was very well-rounded, we learned a lot and saw so much. The Na-Pali coast is unlike anything we had ever seen in our travels. Absolutely do not miss it when you visit Kauai, and we would highly recommend Wings Over Kauai to see it! One of the few ways you can see the Na-Pali with young children in the winter, too. Our almost 2-yr-old twins loved it! read more

What an amazing and unforgettable experience!! I took a day trip from Oahu just to fly with them! Everything was smooth from booking to check in to the flight. Brooke and Captain Matt are both incredibly nice and conversant, explaining the sites and interesting factoids along the way. He circled in the air at a few spots to let us have different angles of the incredible island. Would definitely recommend! The fight was overall really smooth just a few bumps along the way depending on the weather and the wind, but he gave us heads up and explained the wind movement which gave us good anticipation! read more

This is a must do excursion! Highly recommend! We did our flight on Easter Sunday 2025. This was our first time flying in a small plane so we were apprehensive. The seats were comfortable and we both had window seats. We had a smooth and amazing flight with our pilot Geoff. Geoff was so knowledgeable while providing interesting facts about the island and described points of interest along our flight path. It was incredible to see the island as most of Kauai is inaccessible by car. Flying over Waimea Canyon and the Nāpali Coast was awesome and breathtaking. We purchased the video of our flight, which included his narration and our conversations set with beautiful Hawaiian music. This was the best excursion we did during our vacation and it was very affordable. Thanks for the memories. Mahalo! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. What an amazing tour of the island by air. Marcus was out pilot he was very personalble, professional and loved hearing about the island from above.

What an amazing experience! From check in to flight we could not recommend this company enough! We had 2 fearful flyers ( I don't like heights or small spaces) and we were made to feel relaxed, comfortable and safe the entire ride. The entire ride is explained to you at the desk, you're offered cute props to use for pics in front of the plain and they take the pics with your phone for free. Our pilot was SO nice and checked in on me the whole time to make sure I was ok and took the smoothest route possible to ensure there was no turbulence for us. The view was absolutely breathtaking and we were given details and facts for all the areas of the island. Did I mention this is muck less than the helicopter rides as well? So happy we chose this experience, it's my favorite memory of our trip. read more

The weather was perfect for Cessna flying, and we took full advantage of it. This hour-long tour is a great way to get an overview of Kaua'i's coastal and inland areas, and plan where you want to explore further. Travis's stories about the historical/cultural significance of each place really heightened our appreciation for the island and its people. The biggest highlight was flying past the Mount Wai'ale'ale Crater, a truly dramatic, steep-walled basin at the top of one of the world's wettest spots. The caldera is usually mist-shrouded, so we were thrilled to see it. Strongly recommend! read more

The flight was spectacular and smooth. Our pilot, Travis, was a very nice, super professional, and a great tour guide as well.

This was an amazing experience & the pilot was so kind! Smoothest take off & landing I have ever experienced.

WOW! Just WOW! Our flight with Wings Over Kauai is one of the activities I was most looking forward to on our trip, and it totally delivered! It was truly the most magical and breathtaking experience of my life. I know there are many options for seeing Kauai by air, including both helicopters and small airplanes, but let me convince you that Wings Over Kauai is the way to go. 1) The tour lasts about 1 hour and allows you to see more of the island that the helicopters, which usually skip the south shore on their flights. 2) There are no middle seats! This guarantees that everyone on the plane will get a window seat, and if the plane isn't at full capacity (our plane was max 6 passengers), then everyone is seated on the right which is the best view on the tour. 3) The cost is about half the cost of the helicopters. Let me repeat that, it costs about half of what the helicopters charge! 4) They have GoPro cameras attached to each wing and one inside the plane which record the flight. You can purchase an edited video of your actual flight which is 100% worth it IMO! 5) Our pilot was Marcus and he was absolutely fantastic! He is a birder, like my sister, and before our flight he even wrote down tips on where to see birds on the island. He did an incredible job narrating throughout our flight, and the flight itself was incredibly smooth and comfortable. Marcus truly went above and beyond and made our experience even better than I could have imagined. 6) If you are prone to motion sickness, often times the small planes can provide a smoother flight with less rapid changes in motion than helicopters. 7) I actually prefer that the plane flies a bit higher and provides a better panorama and wider shots than helicopters that fly closer to the terrain. If you have a camera with a good zoom lens, you can still get really nice close up shots! 8) Did I mention it's about half the price of the helicopters? read more

This was an incredible experience with breathtaking views. Marcus was very knowledgeable the flight was very smooth.

Matt was a splendid pilot. Jill was fun and engaging and hilarious behind the counter while we czeched in. And the whole experience was beautiful. As it turns out, our pilot was from the same part of Denver that we are from, and my pilot-in-training brother and he had an uproarious time sharing experiences. The island is sumptuous from the air. The world is gorgeous from 3000ft up. Kudos (remember the chocolate bars?) to Matt for adventuring to Kauai and for his engaging style. And a big thanks to Jill for bringing her specific brand of lively energy back to Kauai from whence she originally hails. Recommend 106%! read more

This Air Tour is the best way to view Kauai. Better than taking the boat and better than driving around. You get to go to all the great spots without the added time to get there or run into any obstacles from viewing the sites. Best way to take photos and videos plus they give you 3 camera views from the plane's cameras for an added price. I had the great opportunity to be piloted by Markus. He is a easy going person who is an excellent narrator of the island of Kauai. Lots of interesting facts, stories and our flight was smooth. I think I had the best seat up front next to him. This flight over Kauai was the highlight of my stay. Its magical and awesome to see the beautiful falls, the Na Pali coast without getting seasick on a boat tour. Highly recommended! read more

Wings Over Kauai offered an experience I will never forget and it was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Kauai. I have champagne taste on a beer budget which meant that my dream of a doors off helicopter tour were out of the picture. However, Wings Over Kauai offers a comparable experience for half the cost. I recommend booking this early in the trip as Kauai weather can be unpredictable and our flight had to be rescheduled while we were there. Luckily, the day we rescheduled to was a beautiful, clear day after a rainstorm when we could see all the waterfalls at full force. I wish I remembered our pilot's name but he's the owner of the operation and we actually got a slightly extended tour as it was such a beautiful day. I will say though that I did start fighting for my life a little towards the end because of my motion sickness so if you're prone to that, I recommend a Dramamine! read more
