I was tentative because I’m afraid of heights. Almost chickened out, but thank goodness I didn’t. It was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. It was smooth and easy. Marcus was an excellent pilot and guide, the views were stunning. I will cherish this experience always.

It was incredible! Though a splurge, it was also such an awesome and exciting experience. Definitely recommend if it’s on your bucket list! Take Dramamine
Wow, what a great flight! The views were spectacular and the pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly!
Smooth plane ride with expert pilot. Prone to motion sickness, but had no issues with this adventure.
Travis was amazing and considerate of our time as we had to reschedule to our departure date (due weather) and he was very helpful and reassuring of time considerations.
It’s a one hour flight around the island, giving a view of so many beautiful places. It was well worth it.
This plane trip was really impressive. The pilot was really nice and took the time to explain a little of the history and the locations of Kauai.
It really is a must do activity
Marcus gave an exceptional narration and answered all of our questions. This is an outstanding way to "see the island". The seating was roomy enough and we always felt at ease. We got to see parts of the island we couldn't see on our own. We will do it again next time. Aloha my friends
This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai! The experience was extraordinary from start to finish. Our pilot, Tai, did an amazing job guiding us and pointing out the island’s beautiful scenery, making the entire experience even more memorable.
It was our first time taking a flight like this, but we felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout the ride. We got to see Kauai from a completely different perspective and captured some beautiful pictures that we’ll treasure as wonderful memories of our trip.
We absolutely loved the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai!
The plane had room for six, but because I came solo, the pilot let me sit in the co-pilot's seat. It was easily the best seat on the plane. We had great weather. We had a few little bumps, but the pilot, Kekoa, was excellent in keeping us informed. His intimate knowledge of the land, his humor, and easygoing demeanor made the trip educational and fun at the same time. This was the highlight of my short trip to Kauai and now I feel like I have to go back!
Travis was very personable and provided entertaining and informative commentary on all the points of interest during the flight. I noticed he was continually actively engaged with the controls to minimize bumpiness so it was an unusually smooth flight for a small airplane. He is both a very talented pilot and a great tour guide. The scenery was simply drop-dead gorgeous.
We had a great flight. Koa was an excellent pilot. He made sure bith sides of the plane got tremendous views. Plane over Kauai is the only way to go!
Amazing experience! The views are unbelievable! Very affordable! Our pilot Kamaka was so knowledgable and told us so many facts and stories!
Our pilot Koa was great and very informative.
Much better than being in a helicopter. Great views. Hardly any turbulence.
The counter agents did a great job with customer service. Sadly, our trip was canceled because of bad weather, so the four-star rating isn't because of the company’s handling—it’s really just because we were disappointed not to experience it. Well what can you do when the weather doesn’t cooperate? Hopefully, next time we’ll get to enjoy it when we return. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Best way to see the island!!! A must do if you go to Kauai! Great views and even better pilot!! Koa was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun!
Pilot, Capt. Marcus was absolutely fantastic. His professionalism and kind spirit were thorough. The plane ride was smooth, flawless, and so breathtakingly spectacular. Wings Over KAUAI certainly know what they’re doing. I highly recommend this tour.
Everything about this experience was a 10/10 from the views to the crew. Would totally recommend to everyone
The interior of the cabin gets pretty warm. Wear light clothing. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely take something before you board. Marcus is very knowledgeable and friendly. Felt safe the entire time. Absolutely beautiful views of the island. Would highly recommend.
This was an awesome flight to see the whole island. The pilot was very informative. Everyone had a window seat. I took do many pictures!
Very fun way to tour the island with a seasoned and knowledgeable pilot! We were also warned about winds and given the opportunity to reschedule, should we choose better weather. It ended up being fine and fun!
Everyone has a window view. You have time to take great pictures of the islands best views. The pilot is your tour guide & provided history & names of what we were seeing & flying over.
Amazing experience, pilots were fantastic and knowledgeable - great way to see the island in its entirety
This was a fantastic way to see Kauai, all of Kauai. Our pilot, Marcus, was friendly and informative, and a safe pilot.
This was an amazing experience! The flight took about an hour and we flew all arouns the island, including the Na Pali Coastline and over Waimea Canyon as well as the South Short around Poipu and Hanalei Bay. Our pilot, Kekoa was great and had lots of knowledge about the land and the history of the island. This was a 5-star experience and we will definitely book this flight again the next time we are in Kauai!
The views are spectacular and well worth the trip! It’s better to eat something light before going because it can make you a little queasy but the pilot offers ginger chews and ginger ale to help. I sweat a lot from mild motion sickness so I would have dressed lightly if I ever did something similar again. Other than that, it was amazing!
It was a beautiful and fun trip but i don’t like that I have to put in 100 characters. It makes me want to cancel the review.
It was the BEST way to see the island. Marcus M did a great job! Very knowledgeable and smooth take off + landing. 10/10 recommend.
Our pilot was Marcus, and he made sure we saw all of the sights. Sightseeing by airplane is different than by helicopter because helicopters can get closer to the sights, but the vistas from the plane were beautiful, and Marcus was great at pointing them out. Great value for the experience. Highly recommend.
I was looking to see the island from an aerial point of view, and for me, this was a perfect experience! Our tour guide, Travis, is a native of Kauai, was very knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for us to have the best experience possible!! I definitely recommend Wings Over Kauai!! Thank you! ✈️🌴
Travis is a fantastic pilot and guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai! We felt comfortable the whole amazing trip and very safe.
