The Eco Adventure helicopter tour of Kauai is one of the best things I have ever experienced! From arrival at the check-in office, safety instructions, boarding the helicopter, and the magnificent views of Kauai my husband and I were totally impressed with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Our pilot Shay was phenomenal and made us feel totally at ease. I would give this tour and company 10 Stars.
Simply put, this trip was nothing shy of spectacular! Had a beautiful day to see the entire island of Kauai! Lynne and I were up front and had an unobstructed view, I highly recommend asking for this in advance if possible. Well worth it!! Brian, our pilot, was fun to ride with and provided great history of the island as well as current events regarding the flooding/landslides. We purchased the video as well, it was well worth it. This experience was awesome!!!
I highly recommend this helicopter tour! Amazing views and the pilot was wonderful. He was very friendly and informative. One of the best things I did in Kauai. You get to see a lot of the island that you can’t experience via a car. It’s definitely worth the money!
I cant say enough good things about this, it is a must do before you die and should be on everyone's bucket list. My wife is terrified of heights and was nervous about the trip but she smiled from ear to ear for the entire flight. JUST DO IT. Shout out for Beth our pilot she was awesome.
We did this tour on our first full day on the island. The views were so amazing and incredible. We did a 9 am tour and the sun was shining. The colors were so beautiful. The experience was the highlight of my trip. I would recommend. You are required to watch a safety video before your flight that may cause you to worry. However, just sit back and relax and take it all in. We bought the video that includes views inside and outside of the helicopter. I couldn't stop smiling.
Amazing experience and the best we did on Kauai. Absolute must! And we had the best pilot: Shey. It was like Bob Ross „The joy of painting“ but here it was the „Joy of flying“!
Scott was a very professional and knowledgeable pilot. He made sure that everyone was able to see and take pictures of all of the scenic areas of Kauai. The waterfalls were amazing but being able to go into the crater was just as amazing. We both strongly recommend this tour to everyone.
My husband really pushed for this tour and I am so happy he did! The only way to truly see as much of Kauai as possible is by helicopter. We absolutely loved this tour! We saw so many amazing sites and it was a fun experience! Our pilot, Marty, made us feel very safe. It was a personable experience.
Our pilot Brian gave us a trip of a lifetime through steep valleys, up and over misty peaks, across stunning Waimea Canyon, beside tall cliffs with waterfalls and over beautiful coast line. Brian's commentary was interesting, informative and very clear. This was a great way to finish our cruising holiday. Many thx.
This was the number one thing I wanted to do on our honeymoon. My husband is extremely safety conscious and was concerned about going on a helicopter tour. Let me tell you, this company has VERY experienced pilots. I never felt we were in any danger. Our pilot, Ryan, was a helicopter pilot in the Marines (?) for eight years I think he said and then a life flight medical pilot for many more years after that. My husband and I had a great time. I do have a tendency to get motion sick and had never been on a helicopter before so I took a bonine before and was 100% fine. I don’t think I even needed it. The helicopters seat 6 and it looks like skinniest people get the front two seats. My only complaint was we paid $269 each (full price) for our tickets and paid another $25 for a t-shirt, then afterwards found a coupon in the weekly Kauai magazine for like $200 tickets plus a free T-shirt and free DVD....we would have saved $160+ and gotten a free DVD had we known. That left a bad taste in my mouth because then I felt ripped off. We would have loved to have a DVD of our special honeymoon ride but after paying $538 for tickets and $25 for a t-shirt, we were tapped out. So, go! But—look for coupons.
Simply put, the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour was the best thing we did in the 11 days we were in Hawaii. And we did a lot of great stuff. It really is just a magical site flying over the island and taking it all in. The Na Pali Coast was the kind of site you can't put into words. Expensive of course, but worth every penny if you can manage it.
After months of fretting about conquering a fear of helicopters, the day finally arrived. As soon as we checked in, I felt comfortable, and after the safety presentation I was starting to get excited. Pilot Shay's calm and reassuring voice was definitely appreciated. My husband had told him, while I was still waiting to be seated, that I was a first time helicopter passenger and was fearful, so every time he knew there would be "a little wiggle", he let us know ahead of time. Thank you, Shay. That made all the difference in the world. After Waimea Canyon I started to relax and was fully enjoying the tour as we rounded the magnificent view of the Na Pali Coast. We highly recommend the Eco Adventure Tour. The bird's eye view of the entire island...well, pictures and words cannot do justice to the beauty. It is breathtaking and an incredible experience. Thank you Blue Hawaiian Kauai for your professionalism and making everyone feel like they are the only tour of the day.
Quite large and very comfortable seating. From the moment our Pilot, Chris, began to talk I was immediately calmed and any fears quickly disappeared as we sighted this beautiful island from the very best vantage point, above. I had some concerns because it was overcast and, at times, showers of rain came throughout our flight but this only added to the majesty of being so close to the many waterfalls and shades of green of the mountains. The view along the Na Pali Coast were spectacular. Our flight was a very generous 50-55 minutes and absolutely beautiful and serene the entire way. The helicopter is fitted with several cameras and you can purchase a memory stick movie of your flight, including views of the passengers from time to time. All seats had great views for the 6 passengers plus Pilot. Tip: Do wear a dark coloured outfit so that the design/colour on your clothing does not reflect in the photos you take. Highly recommended and would fly with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters in a heartbeat.
We had a great time on the helicopter tour. Beth, our pilot was amazing. Definitely a great way to see some awesome water falls you can’t see otherwise.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a helicopter ride but having read previous reviews, we tried it. The trip was smooth, fun informative and educational. The pilot/guide was very friendly and open to any questions. The flight took us all over the island and his commentary was interesting and funny. Even the music fit the scenery which was amazing! The company is extremely careful to cover all the safety information. The bathroom, according to my wife was the cleanest public facility in the state. I sat in the middle seat and, to be honest, I didn't have much luck with pictures but I could see everything fine. The flight was the highlight of our trip. well worth it.
