I flew on one of Will's helicopter tours in October, 2005.
I selected Will's business for two reasons: 1] he has a perfect safety record. 2] Will spent 2 tours flying medivac helicopters during the Viet nam war. Having been a part of that era, I realize what skill and courage is required to land anywhere under the worst conditions and successfully extract the wounded service personnel.
One cannot put a price on safety.
My flight was excellent. I had already seen the Wiamea canyon on a previous visit, but from the ground. From the air, it was a wonderful sight. The best part of the tour was when we flew over the Na Pali coast. The pilot flew out over the beatufil blue Pacific, and turned the craft to face the magnificient Na Pali. I was awestruck. One cannot imagine the pure beauty, and I could not help but think that surley this is the place where the earth and ocean meet the heavens.
The noise cancelling headphones were excellent and very comfortable. The passengers were shown a pre flight video of what to expect, and were given safety instructions that were very clear and concise.
When we arrived by van at the Lihue heli pad, we were given life jackets, and shown the proper way to wear them, and how to use them. Please take thewse instructions seriously.
You will get plenty of photo ops, so bring lots of film or video.
if you've nver flown in a helicopeter[I have flown several times], don't stress out. the experience can be compared to floating in a bubble.
For the experience of a life time, take this trip! Please don't travel all the way to Kauai [the most beautiful place i have ever visited] without taking Will's flight!
Sincerely
