Captain Bruce and GuestsIf you have an hour or two, take an airplane tour for a stunning and memorable flight experience over our spectacular Garden Island. Your host and pilot, Bruce Coulombe, has over 20 years experience flying with a perfect safety record. Their unique and affordable air tours are designed to bring you close to the land and spirit of Kauai while minimizing environmental impact ... relax and soak in the picturesque scenery ... an exhilarating   island-style sightseeing experience. A refreshingly affordable alternative to the traditional helicopter tours that may not fit into your present budget.  Wings Over Kauai staff does not pretend to offer the same spectacular, up-close views of waterfalls and other sights that are provided by the helicopter operators, however, they do offer great views of the same landscape from a comfortable altitude.

This tour was not booked by TryKauai.com but website helped Julie get to Bruce :) listing is free from Lilikoi
* Mahalo Julie for taking the time to convey your delight and for your wonderful photos.
Lilikoi,  Hello! I wanted to drop a note, belated as it is, about Wings Over Kauai – which I happened onto at your site last August while searching for planes to rent.  I cannot say enough wonderful things about the exciting flights we took with Bruce. We have a small airplane at home and feel much more comfortable in planes than we do in helicopters. We took two flights with Bruce, one for me and my husband and one with my husband my mother.  All I can say is AWESOME and well worth the price. We definitely plan on using Bruce’s service again when we visit Kauai. Please feel free to use ANY or ALL of my letter as testimony on your site (grammar and spelling correction is fine J )  Thank you so much for listing him on your website. Next time we’ll try the Ziplines! Sincerely, Julie Mobley
