NaPali boat tour -vs- Kauai Helicopter tour -vs- both???
 

Any input on the above? We definetly have plans to do a 90 minute helicopter tour of Kauai with someone (Jack Harter or Air Kauai????). Will we get motion sick easily? Should we also do a Napali Coast boat tour, and if so, with whom? <BR> <BR>Thanks for all the info.

We took the helicopter and boat tour and then drove to the top in '92 and each was a different perspective--each awesome. Take the Helicopter tour EARLY to see all the waterfalls. Have fun.

Aloha Scott, We took the helicopter tour in January. I loved it but my husband was bothered by motion sickness, he also gets sea sick easily. Have a grtat trip.

Scott, I haven't taken a helicopter tour in Hawaii during any of our trips because I have a problem with motion sickness. I would say if you get car sick, seasick, you'd have a problem. Good friends of ours flew with Jack Harter - said it was wonderful. Harter's office fed my friend a banana before hand to help fend off motion sickness. I know that he has an excellent safety record, which would be a big concern for me, seeing as how there have been some accidents with helicopters involving some well-known companies there.

I took a helicopter tour on Hawaii to see the volcanos. I get sea sick on boats but had no problem with the helicopter. I think it depends on how susceptible you are to motion sickness. I get sea sick on whale watching boats but the helicopter is different. It's more like a smooth roller coaster.

John, Thank you for your comments. I've always assumed a helicopter ride would make me sick because I get so car sick at times. Maybe not- When you went on whale watching cruises, was this on regular boats or one of the new "Navateks" in Hawaii? I was even leery of those (supposed to virtually wipe out motion sickness), but my husband went and had a wonderful time! <BR> <BR>Thanks!
