Q:
Hi! I'm planning a trip to Kauai for the last week of October/first week of November. What time of the day gets the best photos. I am a photographer and want to have clear/crisp photos of the coast. Also, are these dates where weather is normally more/less rainy than other times of the year? Last question- are you able to have some doors on and some off one a single flight or does it have to be all one or the other? I have friends coming who prefer doors on but I would like doors off for clear photos.

The chopper only holds 4 people including the pilot. Very small. I went in July and there was some fog and rain at the time
