    Took the family up for a ride when we were in Kauai last week. We had Marcus as our pilot and he was very comforting as a couple of my family members were not comfortable with small plane flying. It ended up being a great trip and one of the highlights of the travel. Highly recommend the tour. We were lucky enough to have a family of four and a solo plane.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    THIS EXPERIENCE IS AMAZING!!! WOW!!! I randomly saw someone suggest this experience in a comment section and it completely exceeded my expectations. The views, the price, the customer service, everything was top tier. I can no recommend this company enough. Please if you are curious, book this flight! I also did a full review on youtube. Just search MrBucketlist Wings over Kauai. Don't miss out on this!

    View over Nã Pali coast. The sky cleared up the rain gone... for the moment at least. We are a go on flight to see the mountainous coastline of Nã Pali coast.

    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!

    Flying on outside of the island of Kauia!

    The Pilot Markus was great and very interactive and flew very well. He was very great on narration of the flight. Flight lasted 52 minutes and was awesome. Seen the whole island of Kauai. Great experience and recommend this tour!

    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!

    Wings over Kauai !

    Incredible tour and best way to see the island. Pilot was very knowledgeable and the views well here out of this world! Highly recommend doing the Wings Over Kauai if you're in Kauai!

Booking we thought, drinking and animals were worth the price of admission but the tour is more than that. I can't praise our amazing tour guides, Tiny and Rick, enough.

We especially enjoyed touring the orchard, including the banana slap experience (!!!), and learning about different types of fruits that can grow in the Kauai climate. The rum tasting also did not let us down. We sampled different flavors of Koloa Rum (the safari and the Rum Guys are unaffiliated with Koloa Rum, which had a separate tasting room and shop on site), followed by a Mai Tai and an additional fresh cocktail. Bruce and Tanji were excellent guides and comedians, delighting my whole party, which contained a range of ages and senses of humor. My uncle was really impressed with their ability to read the room and crack exactly the right jokes to make all of us laugh. They were also incredibly informative and provided local tips on where to go (and where to avoid) next. Mahalo, Rum Guys!!

Where things fell short was the dining/happy hour experience beforehand. We arrived on time for happy hour and were told our food would be out before boarding, but it never came. Our server mentioned she'd checked on it a few times and that our ticket had gotten stuck in the queue -- meanwhile we watched tables around us get served. It seemed like she was covering both the bar and the dining section solo, which is a lot to juggle, and I think that stretched her (and our food) too thin. To her credit, she was apologetic and comped our entire food order, which I appreciated. I did ask if we could just get some chips for the kids since we were trying to feed them before the ride, but was pointed toward the gift shop instead -- a small thing, but it would've gone a long way in that moment. We also missed out on the juice that I paid for with the ride but we never got to redeem it in time. Overall, the railway experience itself is worth it, but the food service side needs better staffing support -- maybe a dedicated server for the dining area separate from the bar would help things run smoother for families trying to eat before boarding.

It's a pretty solid train ride that gives you a view of the whole estate, including a number of the crops that were grown on Kauai, including sugarcane and bananas. Near the end of the tour, there's also an opportunity to feed the farm animals, which was a big hit with the kids! You can feed the horses, cows, and pigs. Boris, the pig, even does tricks on command, which was my daughter's favorite part of the whole tour! Great adventure that we all enjoyed!

My friend was in the back with her husband and she was freezing in pants and a jacket, so wear layers in the winter - especially if you run cold. Despite the wind and light rain, Preston kept us steady and comfortable the entire flight and went out of his way to show us places we had hiked or planned to visit during our stay on the island. Doors-off was definitely the way to see all of God's beautiful creation without limits. Seriously, the parts of the island we couldn't have seen any other way were such a gift to see 360° from the air. Magnificent doesn't even begin to describe it. If you do one tour/tourist thing on Kauai, make it be this. You won't regret it. Thanks, Preston, for making our friend's 40th birthday unforgettable!

Boarding the boat was easily accessed down a ramp, and helping hands were available to step onto and down into the benched seating area.

We watched kayakers paddle down river as we enjoyed the ease of working our way upriver. Once we arrived at the grotto dock, everyone disembarked and took a short walk up along a smooth path. A side path led off to restrooms. The beautiful jungle foliage was all around us. Tall trees, long vines, and bird song surrounded us we walked up to the viewing platform of the grotto. Once there, the ancient and more recent history and cultural significance of the grotto was shared with us. Additionally, we were treated to beautiful traditional music played at weddings, of which they are a venue. Again, the information was fascinating.
