![]() In the early 1980s, Chuck DiPiazza, took a flight over the island of Kauai that would forever change his life. Chuck viewed the grandeur of Kauai by helicopter and was in awe over the versatility of the aircraft and the splendor around him. He had flown in small planes before but flying in a helicopter was different. When compared to a small plane, a helicopter offers its passengers a smooth comfortable flight, freedom in the air, greater visibility and a much roomier cabin. Chuck fell in love with helicopter flight and knew he was destined to live out his dream flying helicopters over this special place, known as the Garden Isle, and sharing the magical experience that had so captivated him. In 1988, Air Kauai was founded with the primary vision of providing the best helicopter tour experience possible. ![]() ![]()

Air Kauai has met the requirements of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and the rules, regulations and standards prescribed there under for the issuance of this certificate and is hereby authorized to operate as an air carrier and conduct common carriage operations in accordance with said Act and the rules, regulations, and standards prescribed thereunder and the terms, conditions, and limitations contained in the approved operations specifications. The first thing one should know about the weather on Kauai is that it is nearly impossible to predict. There are many different climate zones represented from shore to shore. It's not uncommon to have heavy rain on one side of the island and hot sun on the other. The next thing to know is that during your tour you visit the famous Mt. Wai`ale`ale Crater. It's well known as the wettest spot on Earth for a good reason. Every year Mt. Wai`ale`ale receives approximately 480 inches or about 40 feet of rain. It is often shrouded in some form of cloud cover. During the average tour it is common to fly from sun to clouds and back to sun again. Expecting to take a tour on a perfectly cloudless day on Kauai is like expecting a day at Disney Land with no people in line at the attractions. It could happen, but is unlikely or a rare occasion. Don't forget, rain makes waterfalls & rainbows! 48-Hour cancellation notice required. Hats & bags are not permitted in the aircraft. Routes or flight times may vary due to weather conditions. Per FAA regulations, ALL passengers will be weighed at check-in. Pilot will make all seating decisions based on weights.
