The best way to see the island
Kauai - Lihue

This was our second attempt to take this tour because our first day got rained out. The pilots wait until 15 minutes before the tour is supposed to leave to make the call which was fine with us. We rescheduled for the next day and were lucky to have some good weather and visibility. Our pilot, Geoff, was excellent. He made everyone feel very safe, especially my wife (we were on our honeymoon) who is very afraid of flying. He calmy talked to her about his years of service flying helicopters in the military and the thousands of flights hes done around Kauai. She was able to enjoy it immensely while also crushing the bones in my hand for most of the trip. This was the last thing we did before departing Kauai, so we had seen the island from boats, ATVs, hiking, kayak, cars, but this was by far the most amazing way to see it. I highly recommend the company, Geoff, and the tour overall.

Näkyvyys olisi voinut olla parempi
Kauai - Lihue

Tämä helikopterilento kiersi koko saaren ympäri, joten siinä sai hienon yleiskuvan saaresta. Suosittelen helikopterilentoa varsinkin matkan alkupäähän, jolloin ei vielä ole nähnyt samoja kohteita muilla tavoilla. Lentäjä oli asiantunteva ja kertoi lennon aikana mielenkiintoisia asioita saaresta ja sen historiasta. Kaiken kaikkiaan lento olisi ollut huikea kokemus muuten, mutta yksi heikkous pilasi omaa kokemustani: Näkyvyys! Helikopterissa oli edessä kaksi matkustajaa (plus lentäjä), takarivissä on neljä. Istumapaikat kerrotaan etukäteen, eikä niihin voi vaikuttaa. Eturivistä lienee loistava näkyvyys, mutta itselleni sattui takarivin sisäpaikka. Olin varustautunut hyvällä kameralla, mutta se oli aivan turhaa. Koko lento oli ihmisten välistä ja ohi kurkkimista. Takarivin reunastakin oli kuulemma vain rajallinen näkyvyys. Jos uskallus riittää, niin suosittelisin varsinkin innokkaille valokuvaajille mieluummin sellaista helikopteriyhtiötä, joka lentää pienemmällä helikopterilla ja ovet auki. Tällöin näkyvyys on paljon parempi.

Bucket List Adventure
Kauai - Lihue

Going to Hawaii I wanted to specifically visit Kauai and could not imagine seeing it only from the ground. The helicopter ride was great. Seating for five plus the pilot. Good views for everyone for taking photos or just viewing the terrain. Pilot was informative and skilled. Fantastic scenery.

Majestic views! Bucket list worthy.
Kauai - Lihue

This is probably my all time favorite activity and I’ve been all over the place and done lots of cools stuff (helo ride to a glacier and then dog sledding in Alaska, drove around the Indy 509 track, stood at home plate of Miller Field, etc.) Our pilot, Marty was super smooth, experienced, remembered all three of our names and rattled off facts about Kauai locations left and right. He always made multiple passes and positioned so everyone onboard got a great view. We had beautiful, high cloud cover and were able to see “Jurassic Falls”, numerous movie sites (Descendants, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, upcoming Rock movie Jungle Cruise) and most of the Mount Waiʻaleʻale waterfalls - the top was obscured by clouds. We saw the Na Pali coast and tunnels beaches. Just breathtaking beauty of Kauai. The helo was quiet, comfortable and smooth even when wind buffeted it. Not cheap and we sprung for the $41 memory stick video at the end but definitely worth it. The worst part of this was the end - I want to go back and do this again!

Da togliere il fiato...
Kauai - Lihue

Che dire un esperienza costosa ma che ti lascia senza fiato dal primo minuto all'ultimo... La Napali Coast altrimenti non raggiungibile è uno spettacolo per la vista, senza dimenticare il Weimea Canyon e il Koke'e State Park... assolutamente da fare!

Most AMAZING views!
Kauai - Lihue

The helicopter tour with Greg on Blue Hawaiian Helicopter was the highlight of our vacation. He was an awesome narrator and full of information and excitement. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend you to do this excursion. My husband and I just watched the video of our ride and it brought tears to our eyes. Thank you for your professionalism and exceptional customer service! Mahalo!

Totally amazing
Kauai - Lihue

I wanted to do this tour before leaving home in the U.K. as I really wanted to see the Na Pali cliffs from the air. It is expensive but one of my sons and I decided to splash out on a tour. Our pilot was Brodie who was very knowledgeable about the island and its history and lots of other interesting facts. The views are stunning, the scale of the cliffs and beauty is really breathe taking and way exceeded our expectations, it's well worth it, totally amazing

Our very first helicopter ride - we had a great time! Geoff was an excellent pilot and very knowledgeable. A great way to experience and see kauai! It was a bit pricey for 5 people but glad we went with this company. It's worth it!

Unreal views of the island
Kauai - Lihue

July 30, 2018 — Our pilot was Matthew and he did a great job! He explained what we were seeing and a lot of interesting information about the island. He was friendly and frequently checked on us to be sure we were OK. The day was a little cloudy but not bad. We encountered a little rain but even that was a cool experience. Matthew warned us when we would be experiencing a bit of turbulence and for my daughter, who was nervous, that was appreciated. It is pricey but worth the money for this experience.

Do not miss!
Kauai - Lihue

I’ve wanted to fly over Kauai for years. All expectations were met! The customer experience was smooth and professional, and the flight itself is magical. Breathtaking scenery and the only way to do it justice is from the air. Shay was our excellent pilot. He has a calm presence and steady hand on the controls!

Perfect!*
Kauai - Lihue

Finally got to do this! Loved every moment. Words cannot describe how nice this tour was. Pro-tip... schedule this the first or second day of your vacation as flights can only happen in safe weather conditions and you will not know until you arrive for your flight if it’s gonna happen and you may need to reschedule (or you can have a full refund) The day we finally got to fly the weather was nice, I’m sure other days are simply perfect but I loved it!

Best way to see Kauai
Kauai - Lihue

We came here on 2nd last week of July. Checkin was smooth and easy, however after the safety video the lady who was in charge of allocating guests to assigned helicopter was very disorganised. We were all finally allocated to a helicopter, seated and greeted with our captain Greg. Off we went for the most beautiful scenic ride , Greg keeping us well informed of the beautiful history and interesting facts of the island . Thank you Greg, you are truely amazing !!

Amazing Time!
Kauai - Lihue

I flew another company many years ago but this trip was much better. We arrived and check in was very smooth and professional. The waiting area was clean and roomy. Our instructional video was short and very detailed. Our pilot was extremely professional and I felt very safe. The entire ride was amazing. Views are breathtaking and ride was very smooth. Well worth the money!

Well worth it
Kauai - Lihue

Just a fantastic experience. There were some nervous fliers in party, but very professional organization and confidence-inspiring helicopters. Amazing time going round the island. Very little turbulence. Left at 4PM and it was great; light on Nāpali coast nice in afternoon. Got the video - nice quality and well done. Thank you to previous reviewer - purchased through Expedia for nice discount and didn’t have to book 5 days in advance; also got DVD and T-shirt.
