Would appreciate feedback on best ';starting point'; for helicopter tour of Kauai: Princeton, Lihue or Port Allen? (and any other helpful hints such as which tour, etc.)
starting point for helicopter tour?Hi Botz
We were in Kauai in mid-Aug. We went on a heli tour with Air-Kauai from Port Allen. Our pilot was called Bill and he was excellent - very knowledgable and he had a great sense of humour!! The whole process of booking, arriving and being greeted was all very professional. Yes these trips are expensive - but they are most definately worth it!!
Have a great time.
starting point for helicopter tour?Helo tours, where to start:
First, need to mention that AIR KAUAI does NOT fly out of Port Allen Airstrip.
AIR KAUAI flys out of Lihue Heliport, and their facility in near the UPS building. Superb organization, smooth and quiet flying aircraft. Flew ith Air Kauai about a month ago. fantastic, and highly recomend.
JACK HARTER also is out of the Lihue area, and we flew with, Jack, himself, about 11 years ago. Excellent !! They also now have a doors off helo, in addition to the normal door on flights.
INTER ISLAND: Does fly out of PORT ALLEN AIRSTRIP, up on the west side. They started the doors off tours....which we did with
them about three years ago. Outstanding.
PRINCEVILLE: We stayed in Poipu as visitors, and now live in puhi, and have not flown with the North Shore outfits, since we didnt feel like driving up there, when other highly professional organizations were only a 20 minute drive instead of over an hour.
Not sure that it would make much difference, as to where to start, since they pretty much all cover the entire island.
Perhaps those who have flown with a north shore company can help you out, and give you more info on that.
