We took an unforgettable, bucket-list helicopter tour across the gorgeous island of Kauai.
This is not for the fainthearted – Lisa sat in the middle by the pilot, but Bob spent the whole ride hanging off the outside. His GoPro was firmly tethered to his wrist as we were bounced around in pouring rain, then swooped so close to canyon walls that we could practically touch them. The heart-pounding cliffs, rugged mountains framing endless waterfalls, lush greenery, followed by a swing above the turquoise water of the majestic Na Pali Coast, filled us with wonder.
The ride we took was the Doors-Off MD500 Tour, from Jack Harter Heli Tours. The cost was $400 apiece plus tax and a tip for a one-hour flight across the island with our capable and knowledgeable pilot Chris. It was worth every penny for the ride of a lifetime!
