Insane experience, definitely once in a lifetime. My wife and I were lucky enough to sit in the front row, which i highly suggest you request (they say its based on weight, but we requested it and got it, so who knows). The seats are very comfortable and the windows are very large, though there is lots of glare for photographs. I DO NOT suggest buying the video after your flight, the quality of the video is sufficient at best and the cameras are hit and miss with the proper views. But otherwise, great crew and loads of fun. Definitely recommend, worth every penny.

If you get a chance to do this, please don't pass up the opportunity. We enjoyed every minute of this wonderful experience. Some things to expect before the flight...they will weigh you at check-in (very discrete), you will be asked to wear dark clothing to reduce glare, nothing but your camera and phone (on airplane mode) allowed in the helicopter, and you will watch a 10 minute safety video. Brodi was our pilot and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to his narration during the flight. He deeply loves this island and you can tell from his stories and passion for history. From movie sights to sacred burial grounds, you see it all and will appreciate Kauai on a whole new level by the time you return to the airport. We spent two weeks hopping the islands, and this was the highlight of our amazing trip. We highly recommend! Thank you Blue Hawaiian and Brodi!

We had a group of 15 take the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour today. It was a great experience. Our pilot was Brodi and he was very informative and gave us a smooth ride. Anyone concerned about motion sickness shouldn’t be worried. The Ecostar helicopters are very comfortable and the flight was like floating on air. We learned a lot about Kauai and saw many incredible sites. Thanks Brodi for a great flight.

This was our 2nd Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour this week (also did lava flows on The Big Island) and both were excellent experiences. Kauai is so stunningly beautiful, so unlike anything you can see anywhere in the world, and so remote in so many places, there just is no other way to see it. Go do this! Kudos to their entire team for a smooth check-in, clean vessels, friendly staff, and a shoutout to our pilot Shane for a smooth flight filled with just the right commentary.

An amazing helicopter ride around Kauai! We took this ride at the end of our trip after exploring the island by car and boat. This is a must do to see the island in a different way! So much of Kauai is inaccessible by road and this was absolutely amazing to see the island properly. We have never done a helicopter ride, and my husband is even afraid of heights, but we both felt so safe. The check in building was very nice and we had a nice safety and information presentation before. I felt prepared and the instructions to board were easy to follow. I believe the pilot's name was Ryan. He was so nice and I loved all the info he gave to us about what we were seeing! It all was just so breathtaking! Excellent, excellent time. Definitely the highlight of our trip, second to when a monk seal swam with us while snorkeling!

We often talk this trip. We love the video too. Shay was awesome.He made sure he turned the helicopter for me so I could get some great pictures. The flight was so much smoother than I had anticipated. I didn't want it to be over. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was disappointed that we didn't get to see the Na Pali coastline as we didn't get to do our boat ride either. Oh well, safety first. But oh the waterfalls and the volcano. You really had us up close and personal with that. Just an amazing trip, we can't stop talking about it. Very professional crew from start to finish. If you are scared, don't be. I am terrified of heights and I wasn't scared at all. I did take Bonine at night and again an hour before just in case. I had no problems at all. Do it, you won't regret it !! I miss Kauai.

We got lucky. There were no clouds the whole trip. The 50 minutes went by like that! Awesome organization from start to finish. Can see pets of the island only accessible by helicopter plane or backpack!!! Views for days. Best money spent on the island.

Absolutely phenomenal. A friend and I decided to do both a boat and helicopter tour of Kauai. Pricey, but this helicopter tour was worth every single cent. You're never ready for it to end. Beth was our pilot and she was everything you could ask for. She knew the lay of the island, facts about it's existence and is a 3rd generation pilot. What??!! I never felt unsafe and could not take my eyes off the ever changing landscape and beauty of Kauai. If you really want to experience paradise, see Kauai from a helicopter with Blue Hawaiian. Seriously.

It was our first ever visit to the Island of Kauai and we wanted to really see it. So we booked the helicopter tour. Friends had recommended "Blue Hawaiian Tours" and we were not disappointed. This is a first class operation from start to finish. If you do one thing while you are visiting, this is it. Our pilot was Brian AKA "Flyin' Brian". He was great. I recommend booking early (before you arrive) because these folks fill up the seats fast.

We had a great experience on our Blue Hawaii helicopter tour! Brian was our pilot, and he was excellent. He shared some great information about Kauai, and some personal stories as well. He was very attentive to us throughout the flight, and made it so enjoyable. It was clear that he loved his job - and that made the experience all-the-more enjoyable. This is an expensive excursion...we almost didn't to it. But, it was well worth it. Don't miss this one...one of the highlights of our trip!

The trip was spectacular with wonderful views (of what I could see) and Brody was excellent and very knowledgeable. However, I am 5'5" and was seated in a back row in the middle, with a tall man in the front of me. Two men got to sit in the front and three women and a child were placed in the back. Because of my restricted view, I was unable to take any pictures, as I had no view out the front, and there was a person on my left and two people on my right.

Glad I did this, but it wasn't amazing to me. I felt like I had to see the Na pali coast before I left so I am glad I didn't miss it but the tour was a little "canned" Our pilot Geoffrey, was very nice and experienced but he didn't have much to say during the tour. He talked about the music playing a lot. I felt like maybe he was sick of doing the tours and maybe he was looking for the tourists to ask questions so he didn't have to come up with anything to say during the tour.

Incredible views of the island of Kauai, and our pilot, Daryl, provided great detailed narration of the sights we were seeing. Daryl was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the island and related well to all the passengers on our flight. It was obvious that he enjoyed sharing the tales of the island with us, and had great respect for the land and the Hawaiian legends. Ride was very smooth from start to finish. I just finished watching the video from our flight, and it was awesome to re-live it all over again. It was also nice to know they were recording the video, making it less important that I captured my own pictures and I could just relax and enjoy the scenery. Definitely recommend this tour - it is the only way to see some parts of the island of Kauai.

This was my first time in a helicopter so I had anxiety for many months about this helicopter ride that my spouse had gifted to me. (I have ridden on 4 seater planes in the past and did not do well!) THIS WAS AMAZING! First of all, you do not even feel like you are in a helicopter. You have a microphone to communicate with the pilot and passengers and noise cancelling headphones and the ride feels very stable. It was truly incredible. I never felt nauseous or claustrophobic. There are windows all around so you can really see all angles and the space is rather big in the helicopter so you don't feel cramped. Next, our pilot Brodie was also AMAZING! He was extremely experienced, knowledgeable and respectful of his island home and would always circumnavigate all the areas, telling each of us by name that he was turning so to look out our side of the helicopter to see things and take photos. This was SOOOO perfect. He tells you all about the history of the island, including the current events, like the recent flooding, and shows you where movies, etc. have been filmed. This tour has something for all ages! We all felt safe, at ease and extremely fortunate to be able to take this ride and see the island like this, especially since many areas are still closed from the flood. Everyone in our party highly recommends this as a must do if you go to Kauai. It was so worth the expense! THANK YOU BRODIE!!! Just a tip - book in advance so you get the best selections of days and times and WEAR dark clothing! Everyone in our family did, but another tourist did not and it does cause a reflection which you don't want for pictures! Also, it is so worth it to purchase the video recording of the flight when you're done. It is great to be able to go back and see and hear everything we did!

We LOVED our helicopter view of Kauai. It's an island that is best seen by air or by see and we decided to go by air. The sights were breathtaking, from mountains to the Waimea Canyon to countless waterfalls and, of course, the ocean. It was very obvious that safety is a top priority of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters which we greatly appreciated. The only downside to the tour was the slight motion sickness that we all experienced. We don't normally experience this but it was our first time in a helicopter. If we did it again, which we would love to do, we would make sure to take a Dramamine first so we could FULLY enjoy each and every spectacular sight there was to see.
