On this incredible helicopter tour of Kauai, you'll experience views so beautiful they will take your breath away. Explore the stunning Manawaiopuna Falls, also known as "Jurassic Park" falls, wedged in between the emerald green mountaintop of the Hanapepe Valley. Fly over the amazing views of the Olokele Canyon and majestic Waimea Canyon, often called the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," where you'll catch sight of dozens of cascading waterfalls. Then, Kauai's magical North Shore reveals the sculpted green valleys and 3,000-foot sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, the pristine turquoise-blue waters of Hanalei Bay and the Princeville Resort area. Lastly, weather permitting, your pilot will fly you to Mt Wai'ale'ale, a dormant shield volcano with over 450 inches of rainfall each year, making it the second wettest places on earth. Here you'll witness the most beautiful emerald green vegetation draped over the mist-covered mountain, with 3,000-foot cascading waterfalls filling each crevice - a truly awe-inspiring finish to your ECO Adventure over the Garden Isle.
