The DOORS-OFF ADVENTURE will take you over Kauai’s most lush and scenic destination on the island!
View Bali Hai, also known as the Makana Mountain, which starts at the beginning of the Na Pali Coast on the north shore of Kauai. Soar over Manawaiopuna Falls, one of the Garden Isle’s most famous waterfalls. Best known from the opening of the 1993 blockbuster film, Jurassic Park. Watch from above as the water rushes over a 380-foot tall cliff surrounded by walls of deep green lush flora. Located within Hanapēpē Valley on the west side of the island, it is a site few can say they have seen while on Kauai.
Continue on over to Hanalei Bay which covers nearly two miles of beach and is backed by 4000ft tall emerald mountains: Hihimanu is on the east, Namolokama is in the middle with its square top, and the triangular shaped Mamalahoa is to the west. Often cloaked with a mist of clouds the Mt.Waialeale ridge home to dozens of cascading waterfalls.
The name Waialeale, meaning “rippling water or overflowing” receives over 400 inches of rain per year and is known to be one of the wettest spots on earth. You’re surrounded by enchanting waterfalls and lush green walls of fauna. Waialeale Crater aka Blue Hole & The Weeping Wall. From above you will see it all and find yourself lost in the beauty and mystery of Kauai’s enchanting lure.
Other sites like the Wailua Falls and Waimea Canyon are also famous aerial sites on the Doors-Off Adventure Tour.

This was amazing! We highly recommend this adventure. The host Primo is wonderful and helpful. The pilot Wayne is skillful and calming and knowledgeable. The views are one of a kind and can’t be duplicated anywhere else. The island is so gorgeous and diverse. Seeing it from the air is incredible and unique. We did doors off which sounds scary but was really wonderful. The breeze kept everyone from getting nauseous and the views are spectacular. Do it!
