The moment you lift off from the heliport on Kauai's south shore, the landscape rolls out beneath you like a living painting. The first-class American Eurocopter Eco-Star rises with minimal noise, its expansive windows framing Hanapepe Valley’s deep green folds and gentle ridges. Below, the iconic Manawaiopuna Falls—known globally as Jurassic Park Falls—sits tucked between swollen valleys, its water cascading down emerald cliffs that seem to dare you to come closer.
