We booked the circle island tour and were very pleased with the entire service, from the friendly staff when we arrived to the awesome pilot named Greg who made the trip a memory we will never forget. I would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian helicopters to anyone who wants to really see the island of Kauai.

This tour was an absolute blast. Marty was our pilot and we couldn’t of asked for a better person, his knowledge of the island and interesting facts made the ride fun and interactive. He also created an amazing playlist for the entire ride including a fun section of Jurassic Park theme song as we passed the famous waterfall couldn’t recommend this company enough and definitely do a helicopter tour while on this island.

Stunning, peaceful, incredible - a few words to describe the helicopter tour we took of the island of Kauai. I hadn't flown in a helicopter before this tour, so I was a little bit nervous to fly in a small aircraft being so close to the land. But my nerves calmed as soon as we took off, as the pilot assured us that safety is his top priority, and he will not fly if it's unsafe. It was also reassuring to know that he has flown many, many times. The pilot was relaxed and informative during the flight. He was born on Kauai, so knows the island well, and told us about the sights as we flew over them. The amazing views began right as we took off and didn't end until we landed. It was so incredible to be so close to the land and to see the entire island so intimately. During the hour long flight, we flew over mountains, had views of the ocean, went into Waimea Canyon, and then rounded the bend to a stunning view of the Napali Coast stretching before us. We saw a double rainbow and whales swimming below us as we circled to get optimal views. Our pilot made sure to point out the whales he spotted and many other notable spots on Kauai. I like to take pictures, and brought my camera on board. I was not seated next to a window, but that was not a problem at all for getting great pictures. There were seven people on the flight total, including the pilot, three in the front and four in the back. I was in the middle of the back seat, but the big windows in the front and on the sides allowed for optimal views and picture taking opportunities for all passengers. The pilot made sure to turn the helicopter to make sure everyone had a good chance to see all angles of the scenery and to take pictures. My first helicopter experience at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was amazing, and I highly recommend it if you visit Kauai. The views are unbeatable, the pilot was professional and personable, and the whole experience of being so close to the amazing landscape was incomparable.

This was a blast! Our pilot Tony was professional, funny, and engaging. Seeing the island from above is breathtaking.

We enjoyed this great ariel view of the island. All of the crew were nice. This is a good way to get an overview of the island. Beautiful scenery.

We took a ride early in our trip so we could learn a little about the island and the lay of the land. Glad we did this at the front end and we had great weather. Pilot was friendly and knowledge.

Best way to see the dramatic NaPali Coast and definitely a unique look at Waimea Valley. Our pilot and tour guide Beth was very enthusiastic and engaged throughout our flight. She offered recommendations of places to visit and hike during the flight. It was my first time in a chopper but the ride was very smooth with some bobbles in the wind in rain. There is safety brief before and the workers buckle you in, so you don't have to remember how to do anything just remember your seat number. Please note when they advise to wear dark colors they should actually say wear long-sleeved dark shirt because wearing a black tank top and exposed pale arms can also cause photo-ruining reflections if seated in the front and not the back. (See photos). My recommendation to Blue Hawaii: Provide loaner long sleeve shirts for such customers. Pro tip: Ask for military discount, if applicable. Conclusion: Great company! Unforgettable tour experience of Kauai!

You go round the western half of the island on the helicopter. A lot of the sights the tour covers are only accessible by helicopters. The pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the ride was pretty smooth overall. Highly recommend.

So much fun! We were very nervous but once we got on the helicopter it was fine. I believe our tour guide was Tony and he was so relaxed you couldn’t but relax too. It was rainy and cloudy when we went but still had good views and he made sure everyone had a chance to see the waterfalls and coast.

My husband, adult daughter and I greatly enjoyed our recent Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of the island. Our pilot Mark was very informative along the way about the island and it’s history and also is a highly skilled pilot. The staff were all very helpful and professional. We highly recommend doing this helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian to see all of Kauai. It truly was the highlight of our time in Kauai. Cathy P. Maine

Best way to see Kauai. Views over Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast and simply stunning. Helicopter flight was best part of our Hawaii trip. You will not be disappointed. You see entire Island and parts you would never see if not from the skies.

The Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour was our trip highlight! Definitely recommend starting the trip this way. The company was professional and the helicopters were very nice and well maintained. Our pilot Joffrey was skilled as it gets and filled with local knowledge. Despite the cloudy rainy day, we found incredible views all over the island. Wear dark colors so you don’t get reflections in your pics. My heart was overjoyed by the unforgettable experience! I can’t wait to do it again.

When in Kauai, you have to do the helicopter tour. It is amazing!!! We landed in Kauai and I kept the next day free, but the weather was nice and it was expected to rain the next day, so I rescheduled our Blue Hawaiian tour for the first day. They had availability and it was the best way to see the island, I felt like we really didn't need to do more! I am so so so glad that we rescheduled, the next day it rained all day and there was a flood alert in the northern areas, I don't think the tour would have happened or even been fun. So if you are in Kauai and it is sunny that day, go ahead and reschedule because you never know what the weather is like the next day! The tour guide was super nice and showed us the entire island telling us about the history. Very informative. But the highlight was at the very end when we went inside the crater and it was as if the Gods had opened up the huge path with so many waterfalls intersecting, it was gorgeous. Very foggy and the tour inside the crater was just for a few seconds, we barely got a good view, but we were lucky to go at all since some tours came away without visiting. It was raining a bit but we didn't run into any issues. The tour seemed a bit long though, by 30-40 minutes w were ready to be done but were happy to visit the crater. My 5 year olds were a bit scared and one fell asleep from jet lag but they were such troopers! Very professional company, ran on time, and I highly recommend them.

We chose Blue Hawaiian Helicopters based on reviews and recommendations. Our pilot Tony delivered an excellent tour with descriptions and histories (including local lore) to enrich the experience. Flying into the open side of a shield volcano was absolutely cool. We were fortunate to catch a flight on a day when it was not raining as much.

We went on this helicopter ride on our first day in Kauai. It was a great way to learn a lot about the island, history, and geology and helped us hone in on some places we wanted to visit on land. Our pilot, Beth, was great - knowledgeable, friendly, and all of us really comfortable on the ride. It was number one on the list of all of the things we did on Kauai and that's saying a lot because the whole trip was amazing. Highly recommend.
