Jump to Kauai, perhaps my most important objective.
There were two airlines then making inter-island flights, one with full jets and the other with jet-props. I recommend the full jets as the other airline made me check my carryon luggage, and I hate that.
The helicopter tour was from near the airport on the southeast coast and went from there to Waimea Canyon on the southwest coast, and then up to the Na Pali coast on the northwest side, and then back, almost making a complete circuit of the island, maybe 60 miles or so. I recommend this very highly, but see the note below under “Waimea Canyon”
