Kaua'i Gallery 1
Aerial Photographs of Kaua'i
The following twenty
images were taken on a 90 minute helicopter tour of the
island (6-5-98) offered by Jack Harter Helicopters,
the originator of helicopter
tours on Kaua'i. This tour is available to all
visitors and is highly recommended.

The first sweeping view of the ruggedly 
beautiful Napali Coast, home of towering
sea cliffs, hidden waterfalls, secluded
valleys, and sea caves such as this "topless" one. 
Another view down the Napali ("the cliffs") 
Coast, an area of incomparable beauty
which
can only be accessed by helicopter, boat, or a very difficult hiking trail.
The pristine waters off the coast of Kaua'i, 
home to the endangered Green Sea
Turtle & Hawaiian Monk Seal,
Humpback Whales, Dolphins, and various species of fish. 
A tour boat heads down the Napali Coast,

A
first look down the lush north shore with it's protective offshore reefs,
fertile valleys,
and picture-perfect beaches. Here we get
