@LaUrAadventureSeeker We used Mauna Loa Helicopters. We chose them for two reasons: doors-off option, and guaranteed window seating (2x2 seating configuration). They're definitely a good way to go if you want fantastic photos of your trip, but you might consider a cheaper tour operator otherwise. The weather in Kauai can be pretty cloudy some days, so be ware of that! We also had equally as much fun on the Napali Riders ocean raft, so check that out too.
The canon s95 actually has a larger sensor than many professional camcorders or those GoPro's. So, the image quality should be "above average" here. Kauai is very very scenic though, much more than I thought.
Beautiful scenery; however, I am not a fan of jerky video. I find it frustrating not to be able to actually linger a tiny bit over the subject matter especially lovely landscapes such as these.
Thanks for the info. I will check them out :)

I didn't find it jerky at all, pretty darn great quality for a P & S camera that came out over a year ago. Love the 24fps look, Well done...
