Kauai Hawaii, Things to Do, Helicopter Tour

Flying in a helicopter is the most sparkly thing I’ve done all year.

My heart lifted into my throat. I was floating.

I busted free of gravity.

Soaring over the Jurassic Park movie locations my brain was bombarded with actual reality.

I live here!

Kauai is one of the most amazing places in the world to photograph and doing it from a helicopter was breathtaking. I had to force myself to capture the photograph while quickly hovering over magnificent waterfalls and gasp-worthy emerald green cliffs jutting over blissfully cobalt fathomlessly deep ocean water.

My soul was in overdrive.

And I appreciate this 25 by 33 mile wide island like I never have before. After 2 years of living here it rocked my world.

Photo Tip: don’t bring a long lens, its too hard to focus while flying. Use your iphone 6+ like I did to shoot this video and the photo below.

You can take a DSLR but make sure you get the front seat. I didn’t but I had special arrangements. More advice? Go to my photography advice playlist on YouTube here.
