  • “Safari Skylights” and “Mega Windows” ensure there are no physical obstructions that block the passenger’s panoramic view of all those amazing waterfalls.
  • Custom left side pilot seat configuration that provides superior unobstructed viewing for passengers when flying counter clockwise around the island of Kauai.
  • First to implement an onboard two-way communication system utilizing the Generation Bose X noise canceling headsets.

Onboard Video System

Safari helicopter DVD

  • Four Cameras Record Your Trip From All Angles.
  • In 1990, Safari led the industry when they designed and gained FAA approval for the first on-board multiple-camera video system to record the passengers’ actual flights.
  • Advanced Video System records your waterfalls, your rainbows, your canyons, your Pali, and your tropical rainforests, providing a true souvenir video where you can re-visit your adventure in paradise. This is not a pre-recorded commercial 15-minute video as others misleadingly advertise—it is of your actual tour!
