Napali Coast (Kauai Helicopter)

  • Best timeMorning (10-11 AM for best light)

The 4,000-foot sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast are only fully accessible by helicopter or boat. Helicopter photography with doors open gives extraordinary aerial shots.

Tips for visiting

  • Book a doors-off helicopter tour. Use a wide-angle lens (16-24mm). High shutter speed (1/1000s+) essential for helicopter vibration.
