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.
We took the trip around the island and were amazed at the beauty. We have don the other islands, but Kauai has the most beauty of them all. the huge valleys and massive waterfalls are gorgeous. The Northern coats line with the cliffs and caves are spectacular. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and very engaging with us. I would highly recommend the tour with them to see all the sights you can't see from the ground.
Excelente tour en helicĂłptero. Muy buena visibilidad no importa donde estĂ©s ubicado. La selecciĂłn del lugar la realiza la computadora de acuerdo al peso de los pasajeros, y no intentan cobrarte más por tener la chance de estar al lado del piloto. Lo más destacable es que es un vuelo interactivo. Sin duda volverĂamos a hacerlo!
My wife and I did this tour Saturday afternoon. We had never done a helicopter tour and we were very glad we did this tour. You see all of the island and some places you would never see walking or driving. Numerous waterfalls! Marty was our pilot and tour guide. He was outstanding!
My husband and I couldn’t take a boat tour to see the NaPali coast so opted for a helicopter tour, and we were not disappointed! Flying through the interior canyons, past towering waterfalls, and into sacred Hawaiian valleys was an unforgettable experience. Brody was our pilot and he was an excellent narrator. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to see all of Kauai!
My husband and I booked an early morning helicopter trip last-minute on our honeymoon in September. This was absolutely the highlight of our entire trip and we both remain awestruck when we think about it! The views were breathtaking and our pilot, Geoff, could not have been better. Aside from being a genuinely lovely guy he had tons of local knowledge (and a killer playlist!) and made us feel as though our trip was very unique (even though he must do it multiple times a day). We felt in very safe hands. I would 100% recommend this for anyone who is looking for a helicopter trip in Kauai!
I cannot imagine a better way to see all the beauty that Kauai offers. Our pilot, Geoffrey, was amazing--the flight was smooth and he shared great info on the island. The views were almost unbelievably gorgeous: every moment was another perfect picture. It's not cheap by any measure but is worth every penny! Very professional outfit--highly recommend. (PS--they offer pick up and drop off, too.)
We are seasoned travelers and this ranks among the very best of all our experiences. First time to Kauai and I had no idea how mountainous the center of Kauai is with dramatic canyons lined with dozens of waterfalls that are not reachable any other way than by helicoptor. Add to this the first-class service of Blue Hawaiian with highly professional pilots such as Greg, and you have a can't miss once-in-a-lifetime experience. We took a similar tour of the Big Island with a different company and it was not 1/10th as good as this one. Very relaxing hour with Greg providing narration throughout. He worked hard to know every passenger's name and to personalize his conversational tour to our individual interests. Cautions: Our helicopter only had seats for 6 passengers. 2 in the front with the pilot and 4 in the back row. This means that only 3 of 6 passengers truly have a window seat. I was very concerned about being one of the two people in the back without a window seat, as the people in the middle have to take photos across the people next to them. In my case, it was my wife, so it was not a problem. However, if you were next to a stranger who is not cooperative, being seated in the middle could be an issue. There is lots of glass in the helicopter and the Blue Hawaiian ground crew loan out black t-shirts to help reduce the reflections and glare from the windows, but. if you are not next to the window, reflections are a problem when the helicopter is oriented at the wrong angles to the sun. I found this out the hard way once I reviewed what I thought were great photos, only to see that 50% of the frame was through a reflection that I had not seen when taking the picture. Greg did a nice job of maneuvering the helicopter to provide great views of everything for everyone. However, even with a great pilot like Greg, your viewing time from one angle to another is going to be limited from any seat, so you cannot linger too long with framing and lighting and such. You have to be ready to take your picture as soon as you see it. One final note: My wife is a seasoned traveler in all sorts of conditions, but the sweeping quick motions of helicopter flying can create issues for her. Blue Hawaiian offers Dramamine at the desk. If you have any doubts, you may want to take one before going up. Even with these cautions and reservations, I wish i could have gone a 2nd and 3rd time. If you have the time and money, be sure to take a helicopter tour of Kauai and be sure to go with Blue Hawaiian!
We had booked this tour prior to our cruise on the Pride of America, this was one of the highlights, we had a brilliant Pilot, Brodi, he was informative, friendly and gave us am amazing tour of the island. It was breath-taking from start to finish and I would highly recommend this tour, we have done a few helicopter tours across the world but this was our favourite.
We had this helicopter tour at the Kauai island. Really beautiful views that could only be seen in an helicopter. The service is very good, details like soundtrack, videos and pilot description were a plus. Loved it!
Six members of my family reserved our flight with Blue Hawaiian Tours. Three of us are nervous flyers and the thought of a helicopter tour was a bit frightening. From the moment we entered the door, we were impressed with the efficient, professional manner of all the employees. I especially liked the discreet method of weighing each member of our party. You simply stand on the rug in front of the desk. You are weighed and logged into a computer privately. We watched a safety video, given verbal instructions and our gear. We lined up according to our seat number, moved to numbered spots near the helicopter, and finally into our assigned seats where an employee securely fastened our seat buckles. The flight was more than we expected. Those of us who were nervous were put at ease with our pilot Guy. He warned us of any turbulence ahead of time and avoided certain areas that he knew would be uncomfortably turbulent. The views were nothing short of spectacular and the information given was an added bonus. Well worth the money!
With some trepidation, signed up for the helicopter tour of Kauai, as was told prior to vacation - it was a must do. Before we even left the ground, our pilot Joffrey had my mind at ease & the next hour was totally captivated by the beauty of this island that can only be seen by air, accompanied by Joffrey's expertise & knowledge. Music soundtrack was well done. TOTALLY recommend this tour.
What a difference a day makes! After a disappointing Maui excursion, today's in Kauai was the exact opposite! I was reluctant to even go based on yesterdays experience, but today's was prepaid, so off we went. With the rains moving out the sun was shining through. And what a surprise! Our pilot was super chatty and encouraged travelers conversation. The sights of Kauai just amazing! I was awestruck at the sheer beauty as our pilot pointed out various film locations. A very nice experience.
Because of weather and volcanoes, several roads were closed or restricted. We wanted to see the Napali Coast. Best way to see parts of Kauai - by air. The air tour included the Napali Coast, a dormant volcano, Waimea Canyon, and the waterfall used in Jurassic Park. The better part of the flight was the pilot - born and raise on Kauai and he knew the area. It is a 45 minute flight and worth every minute. This is a tour we would take again. Blue Hawaiian picked us up at the cruise port, so transportation is not a concern. The helicopter holds 6, so it is good for a family or group. Before we booked the flight, we checked their safety review. We were confident with their operations.
