Wings Over Kauai - Grand Deluxe Flight
Experience Kauai from the air! Wings over Kauai Grand Deluxe Flight, is seventy minutes of adventure with remarkable advantages when compared to a helicopter tour. Your flight on the “Cessna” can either be very personalized with just two passengers or a group of up to six. Enjoy the microphones and headsets that enable you to communicate back and forth with the pilot any time you have a comment or question. All passengers sit on the right side of the aircraft allowing all to see the beautiful view of the coastline and the cliff regions. A full view island flight is seventy minutes long. The tour is ten minutes longer than a usual helicopter flight allowing more time to see parts of the island usually not seen on the loop by other companies.
