Pictures simply don't do it justice. Mine, even more so. Though my ride was short, only 40 minutes, it was amazing. I was speechless afterwards. I just couldn't find words to describe it. The cliffs are sheer, vertical and covered in vegetation and I've never seen so many waterfalls. The flight covered the verdent green of the north shore and the NaPali coast as well as the bone dry Waimea canyon that we'd driven last Sunday on our first day of the trip. What's amazing is that you go from the wettest place on earth, Mount Wailealeale, to one of the driest places in a distance of like 8 miles.
I was a a bit nervous during the flight becuase the little helicopter was so easily tossed around. It didn't help that the canopy of the thing looked like a wimpy eggshell with a honkin' propeller on it. And they warn you to wear dark colored clothes to reduce glare on the canopy for better picture taking. I have only white shirts and so my reflection is ruining almost every picture I took.
All in all it was worth ever penny and provided images I'll keep forever.
