This trip was worth every cent, I sincerely recommend going. Absolutely the best tour of its kind I have ever taken. A very skilled pilot was also extremely entertaining and informative. You have to see the sights to understand just how spectacular the views are. earth maps online do not give justice to the beauty of the coast, valleys, countless waterfalls and landscape of the garden island.
So we got to ride with Brian. What a great pilot. Was excellent at telling you what you are seeing but did a great job at explaining what was happening to the chopper as it crossed the terrain. For UPS'ers traveling there you should know he is an ex-UPS driver and you feel safe with him.
Our family of 5 (3 boys 14,12,10) had the best time with Beth. We were lucky to be the only ones on the helicopter that day. I was impressed at how comfortable Beth made our boys feel. They each asked a question during flight. We obviously bought the video afterwards to remember our special day. It turned out to be our boys favorite excursion out of the seven we did on our two trip to Hawaii. Mahalo Beth!
Very comfortable aircraft with super safe check in and boarding procedures. Wonderful people to assist you in every way needed in the office environment. The trip is amazing with great views of waterfalls, green mountains and canyons, and beautiful ocean views. Our pilot was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us information on what we were viewing and tidbits of past movie scenes, etc. that each location featured. A magical trip from take off to landing with attention to small detail the entire time you are under the care of Blue Hawaiian. Our whole family (husband, wife, teenage daughters) loved it!
What an amazing ride! It's true, most of Kauai you can only see by air. The views were absolutely breathtaking and we loved our pilot Brian. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I LOVED sitting in the front seat. You can request front seat but it is not guaranteed due to weight. Very smooth, safe, amazing ride!
This was the greatest way to see Kauai! I was a little nervous at first but the staff, especially our pilot Shea, was amazing..they made us feel safe and comfortable and I was quickly put at ease and able to enjoy the incredible sights! 100% a must do!! I felt like I was dreaming the entire time.
Scott was our pilot. Did a great job of showing us all parts of the island not accessible by car or foot. Very smooth ride and Blue Hawaiian is top notch. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially first timers.
This helicopter tour was one of the highlights of our trip! The views were breathtaking and our incredible pilot Brian was very informative and genuinely cared about the quality of our tour. We consider this to be a "must do" activity in Kauai!
Our pilot, Beth, is a superb guide. She was interested in what our group hoped to see in addition to the classic sights. Helicopter is the only way to see and experience much of the island, and the Blue Hawaiian aircraft are comfortable, safe, and allow great views from every seat. We highly recommend this company. Be sure the give Beth a big “Go Gators!” She loves Florida, too! PS get the USB of your flight. Definitely worth the reasonable price.
Wir kommen seit 20 Jahren nach Hawaii, aber diese Tour war bisher das schönste, was wir je unternommen haben. Ja, es ist teuer, aber jeder Cent loht sich. Wir haben es über Internet von Deutschland aus gebucht. Am gebuchten Datum war leider schlechtes Wetter, so dass wir umbuchen konnten. 2 Tage später gings los. Wir hatten als Pilotin Beth aus Florida - eine absolut tolle, routinierte und nette Pilotin, die bis an die Felswände der Napali reinsteuerte. Wir waren teils nur noch sprachlos über die Schönheit, die dieser Flug nochmal besser hervorbrachte. Auch wenn wir schon oft die Küste von Aussichtspunkten sahen - dies war noch mal ne ganz andere Nummer. Auch unserer Tochter (8) gefiel es super gut. Highlight war die musikalische Untermalung - mir liefen teils die Tränen... Am Ende kann man seinen eigenen Flufg für 40$ auf USB Stick kaufen und noch Merchandise, wenn man mag. Wir hatten eine tolle Stunde in der Luft - würden es jedem empfehlen!!! Mahalo !
3/4 of Kauai is inaccessible except by air, so even though it is expensive, it was a must do. We have been on 2 Blue Hawaii tours, and it is a great company. Our pilot asked if we were interested in movies and showed us many cool spots where movies were filmed. I liked that they can tailor it to the interests of the passengers. Brian was awesome as a tour guide and pilot. The equipment was good - everything went smoothly. We got to go to Wailele - crater that created Kauai and wettest spot on earth. Don't always get to go if too foggy. We choose Blue Hawaii over others because of full video of trip showing sights, hearing our conversation with the pilot, and seeing us in the copter as well. It does cost extra for the video. It is noteworthy that flying out of Lihue is cheaper than Princeville and you get a longer and more extensive trip. Also there is an on-line discount if you book early. Again, amazing sites you won't see any other way. Please wear dark clothes so there aren't reflections in the windows
Went this morning with my wife and two children. This has to be one of the most unique and memorable experiences we have ever had. Beth our pilot was AMAZING. So knowledgeable and professional and a very skilled pilot. We are still talking about how amazing this was and this is as the best way to see this spectacular island. Would do this again in a heartbeat. You will not regret doing this.
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.
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.
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.
