Having been to Hawaii multiple times, this year Kauai was our focus since we had not been there.

But as you are well aware, the pandemic runs on, so please check the travel restrictions before heading for this adventure.

Thrilling is my description for the “open door” helicopter ride!

  • Don't be alarmed by the "waiting" area

    Jack Harter Helicopters was the BEST! Professionalism abounded and we were treated wonderfully.

  • Cramped and cozy

    Having been in helicopters many times, this one was one of the more exciting ones due to the island beauty and ruggedness.

  • It doesn't get any prettier than this

    The ocean, the shore and the mountains make this trip one to absolutely add to your bucket list.

Kayaking Kauai along the Wailua River included a nice hike for lunch.

  • Some dexterity is needed

    Using the tandem kayaks was a bit tricky getting in and out…steady and slow!

  • Following the leader

    Trekking into the interior was interesting since it required a water crossing where hanging onto a rope was needed to get to the other side!

  • Lunch at trail's end

    Peaceful way to enjoy lunch before heading back to the kayaks for the river trip home.
