Wings Over Kauai – Grand Deluxe Flight

Kauai's grandest landscapes unfold one after another on this 65–70 minute fixed-wing flight over the Garden Isle. From hidden beaches and deep valleys to immense canyon walls and the cathedral-like cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, the view from above reveals both famous landmarks and places few visitors ever see.

Departing from Lihue, the flight heads southwest toward Kipu Kai, the beach featured in 6 Days and 7 Nights, before continuing to the famous Jurassic Park waterfall in Hanapepe Valley when weather permits. From there, soar above Waimea Canyon, known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," and follow the coastline north toward the inaccessible bays, waterfalls, sea caves and towering cliffs of Na Pali.

The journey continues past Hanalei Bay and Bali Hai, with views of the many waterfalls behind Hanalei Valley and the crater below Mt. Wai'ale'ale, one of the wettest places in the world. During the winter months, humpback whales may also be seen in the waters surrounding Kauai.

Wings Over Kauai also features an expert agricultural narrative created by owner and chief operating pilot Dr. Bruce Coulombe, a research scientist, adding a unique perspective to the island scenery below.
