Creator's Key Takeaways

we're flying over the beautiful island of Kuai in a doors off helicopter

the doors off was a bit unsettling for me but those views were unreal

this was the best way to experience its stunning Landscapes

it was scary yeah I feel that way too but then the pilot did a 180 and we were headed back out towards the ocean

Creator's Tips & Advice

Put your wrist in the strap and secure it down tight for safety
Make sure your phone has enough battery and storage, and put it on airplane mode
Consider going without sunglasses for a clearer view of the scenery
Don't wait to use the motion sickness bag if you feel it, as the cabin is windy
