KirkNC Posted May 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Kauai, it is the prettiest, oldest and most diverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott D Posted May 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I vote for Kauai too. I looked and read into this and picked Kauai. Going in Oct for our flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberCascades Posted May 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I vote for Kauai as well. It's the best way to see that particular island. It's best seen either by air or by water. We went with Blue Hawaiian and it was unbelievably, breathtakingly beautiful. Just about everyone was in tears (well, my teenage daughter and a couple of the guys :)).

Molokai-Chuck Posted May 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2014 While it can not be known in advance ... the Big Island/Hilo copter for the Volcanoes is great if the lava is flowing. That being said, I like the Island of Kauai the best of all. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailing Posted May 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Have done Hilo and Kauai hands down Kauai you will see scenery that you have and never will see plus waterfalls. Hilo unless lava is flowing all you see is hard black boring lava. Hilo is also a lot of ups and down and fast turns, both of us felt queeszy from it.

Susan-M Posted May 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The combination of the Waimea Canyon and Napali Coast on Kauai makes it an incredibly scenic island to take a heli tour. We did one on Maui as well (Haleakala & Hana) which wasn't as good as the one on Kauai, however, the West Maui and Molokai one gets really good reviews...but I would still suggest doing one on Kauai instead. With the diminished lava flows on the BI (since last fall) I don't think it would be as interesting for a heli tour (unless the situation changes between now and your cruise.)

puddles99 Posted June 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'll join the chorus of votes for Kauai. And while you didn't ask, I'd also like to recommend Island Helicopters and the unique "Jurassic Landing" flight (http://www.islandhelicopters.com/falls.html) - this was an absolute highlight of our trip. Enjoy your adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carsaw Posted June 4, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2014 After researching for days I picked Kauai for our helicopter tour. Just booked yesterday for our Pride of America cruise in October. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
