Check availability →Both private flights here run doors-off, so the choice comes down to time in the air (see Doors-Off Worth It). Ali'i Kauai Air Tours & Charters offers the longer ride, 1 hour 15 minutes over the waterfalls, from $425 per person, with a 5 rating across 1794 reviews. Mauna Loa Helicopters flies 55 minutes with every seat a window seat, from $384 per person.
Mauna Loa's flight comes in lower at $384 and still gives everyone an unobstructed view, since a doors-off aircraft has no glass between you and the cliffs of Nāpali. Travelers watching the budget, or anyone unsure about a longer doors-off ride, get a shorter commitment at a lower price. Check weight limits and passenger counts on the live booking page before reserving, since private charters set their own cabin rules.
