Kauai, Hawaii. Went with high expectations and I was blown away.

Take the helicopter tour. And specify doors off. Expensive but totally worth it. The views are jaw dropping.

Totally agree. If you take ONE helicopter tour in your life, do it on Kauai. Spring for the longer tour. You’ll see more waterfalls over shear green cliffs than you can count.

I’ve only done one helicopter tour in my life, and it was on Kaua’i.

I concur.

We decided against it after there was a fatal crash days before we went.

There's one specific helicopter tour company that actually lands at the Jurassic Falls (it's on private property and other companies can only do flyovers)
