Pilot Geoffrey did an excellent job pointing out the amazing sights of Kauai. From the Na Pali Coast to flying into a volcano. This was totally worth it!
Great helicopter, felt safe. Pilot was very communicative, knowledgeable and interesting. Great flight and spectacular sights of innumerable water falls, etc. End of flight, I wanted to buy the video of this flight by the numerous cameras attached to the outside of the copter. Girl at front desk could’nt download and didn’t try very hard to make it work (is it always down on this particular helicopter?). Also, this copters window designs greatly limit the photos from the inside as the windows are smaller than the other operators I observed. If I were to do it again, I would use a copter operator with no doors or “Island Helicopters” which has larger windows.
Pilot Beth gave a wonderful tour of Kaua'i. Most of our group are quite familiar with the island, but she showed us parts of the island you simply cannot see any other way. A great experience for all of us.
This is a must do in kauai! The company is super focused on safety, which put all my fears of flying in a helicopter to rest. Our pilot, Marty, was fantastic, super funny, informative and experienced. If you can get in his helicopter, I'd highly recommend it! The hour flew (haha) by and I couldnt believe it was over. Although this is a bit of a splurge, I would highly recommend it!!
Hoch professionell vom Anfang an. Der Pilot erkläre alles während des Fluges und dann wurde Filmmusik aus Filmen die auf Kauai gedreht wurden eingespielt und zwar genau zur richtigen Zeit ! Gänsehaut war angesagt. Wenn man auf Kauai etwas unternehmen will, und hat nur eine Wahl, dann sollte es ein solcher Rundflug sein.
Highly recommend scheduling this tour on your first day in Kaua'i, especially if this is your first visit to the island. After the safety briefing we attended before our tour I knew we had chosen well and were in good hands. The helicopters this company uses are quieter and the rotor blades are at 9.5 ft. so the apprehension of entering and exiting was minimal. Our pilot Miguel was knowledgeable and personable making the experience interesting, informative and fun!
When our snorkeling tour of the NaPali coast got cancelled due to high surf, we knew we had to see the NaPali coast somehow and a helicopter ride seemed the perfect answer. Luckily Blue Hawaiian had some spots open and we seized the opportunity. The company is very focused on safety with a safety video before you board the helicopter. Matt was our pilot, and he was helpful and friendly. There are so many parts of Kauai that are not accessible by foot or car, so seeing these amazing sites by air is the only way to go. The NaPali coast is so beautiful. A "Must Do" when you are on Kauai. You won't be disappointed!
Many parts of the Island of Kauai you can't see unless you are in the air. The best thing we did was sign up for a helicopter flight with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. They are very well organized and have everything on the ground and in the air planned for safety and comfort of the passengers. We saw fantastic waterfalls, rock formations, beaches and more. The flight was very smooth. To remember this wonderful adventure we paid extra for a memory stick with a video of our flight!
What a fantastic helicopter tour! We lucked out and had a very clear day, so were able to see SO much more, even the inside of a volcano! Blue Hawaiian is organized, safe and comfortable. Marty was our pilot and he was lots of fun! Definitely a DO - you won't be disappointed!
This was an excellent tour, definitely worth the cost and the time. Remember to wear dark shirt or you'll need to purchase one of there t-shirts for $10 US. The dark clothing really helps with not having as much reflection, therefore you get better view and photos. After the tour you also have an opportunity to purchase the video (USB stick) of your tour for $40 US. It was great, the weather cleared up and because of the heavy ran the evening before we got to see so many waterfalls. This was definitely a highlight of our visit on Kauai.
The views of Kauai from the air are breathtaking, and we are so glad we went with Blue Hawaiian for our flight. The ecostar is very comfortable and our pilot Geoffrey was fantastic. He welcomed and answered questions, and was super friendly and relaxed, making us feel very safe. He also did a wonderful job of giving everyone on board a good angle to look at the sights. Highly recommend this tour!
Blue Hawaiian is a great company that prepared us well. The views from this extremely comfortable helicopter (our first time in one) can't be beat. Pilot Tom had a great sense of humor with all of us, and pointed out all of the sights. We were fortunate to have great weather right after a rain event that loaded up all of the waterfalls on the island. Do not pass up the opportunity to do this tour!
Not the best flyer but quickly learnt that there is no need to be scared with these guys! The flight is way more comfortable than in an airplane, no sensation of dropping or your stomach dropping just very smooth! Plus, the views are so insanely gorgeous you forget instantly! Pilot Miguel was amazing! Very friendly and inclusive, interacting with each person throughout the flight calling them by name as he pointed out various landmarks! Music throughout also a nice touch! All staff involved were very helpful including the girls who briefed us and take you to and buckle you into your seats- really nice as you barely have to think so if you are nervous this is gone by the time you even get in the helicopter! Video of the flight also awesome!
The only way to see the best of the island. Lovely and professional staff with very comfortable and safe helicopters. Mark our pilot was very knowledgeable and good fun. It was worth to purchase the recording of our flight as the helicopter has 3 cameras so you can see everything. Definitely one company to recommend!
Going on this helicopter tour was the highlight of my trip to Kauai. I can't say enough good things about this ride. We got to see the entire island and the wettest spot on the planet. It gives you a true feeling for Hawaii and how the island was created over five million years ago. The majestic mountains were a sight to rival flying buttresses in cathedrals. We saw loads of rainbows - in between valleys, over the ocean I saw for the first time a 360 degree rainbow. The tour lasted an hour and was worth every penny! I highly recommend doing this to experience Kauai at its most beautiful.
