Although reluctant to go because I'm both claustrophobic and afraid of heights, I agreed to see what everyone was talking about. I'm so glad I did! The first few minutes I had some anxiety, but that all dissipated once I saw the incredible views. Our pilot was Miguel and he was very informative. He spoke to us the entire 50 minute flight. Saw places on Kauai which you could never see. The Napoli Coast was breathtaking! I'm so glad I conquered my fears and did this tour with my family. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Pilot Marty gave us the ride of a lifetime. The views were breathtaking. The commentary was informative and fun. He even gave us advice of what else to do on the island. A true MUST DO!!
STUNNING! 100% suggest going on a helicopter ride with this company. Beth, our pilot, operated the helicopter smoothly, provided great narration, and showed us so much of Kauai we would not have otherwise have seen. You really see the entire island from the NaPali Coast, Wamea Canyon, Waterfalls, Hanalei Bay and Pier, and back around. It’s beyond beautiful.
The company was professional and the lobby was pleasing to enter. Staff were efficient. The pilot was VERY experienced and reassuring. Although the day had been a bit rainy, he assured as that the weather would be fine "up top" and he was right! The views were beyond description. Pictures cannot possibly do the scenery justice. It was dramatic and varied. The pilot, Bob, explained what we were seeing and gave an interesting history of the island. Waterfalls, canyons, crystal waters, even a sea lion, were some of the highlights. But, nothing compared to flying into the caldera of the volcano. Surrounded by lush greenery, a multitude of waterfalls, and then the pilot pivoted and it was like we were free falling.... but not. It was incredible feeling! My niece and I were fortunate enough to sit in the front. Partly weight distribution and partly - showing up early. It was definitely worth the money.
Devo ammettere che prima di salire ero un po’ agitata, mai stata in elicottero... e poi dopo le varie procedure di sicurezza e di emergenza di certo non ero più tranquilla! Ma una volta in volo è stato tutto talmente bello e da brividi che la paura è passata! Un’esperienza che consiglio soprattutto a Kauai dove ogni scorcio dell’isola è mozzafiato!
We had an absolutely awesome helicopter trip with Blue Hawaiian to see the gorgeous island of Kauai! I looked at several different companies in planning our helicopter tour and I am so happy I chose Blue Hawaiian. Their check-in center is clean and welcoming and the staff was friendly and efficient. We received a thorough safety briefing before boarding the helicopter. Our pilot, Miguel, was very professional and friendly. He gave us excellent information and was able to fly us into some beautiful canyons. Everything about about our experience was excellent! Thank you, Blue Hawaiian!
This is a must do on Kauai! Next time I go I will pay extra to be in the front! I was nervous and had never been in a helicopter before, but it was great! The pilot put us at ease and it felt easier than being in an airplane! The views were amazing and unbeatable! The narration and music was awesome as well.
These guys were all super professional which made the experience enjoyable. Our pilot Shay did a great job handling the helicopter and was a seasoned veteran in the air. Airtime does much faster than you think so make sure you have all your camera gear ready to roll with no issues.
Unbedingt machen:) Der Platz im Heli wird jedem zugewiesen (Berechnung nach Gewichtsverteilung & Grösse). Wir sassen schon alle im Heli und mussten wieder aussteigen, da etwas im Cockpit aufleuchtete was nicht sollte... leider keine genaueren Infos. Nach 15‘ Wartezeit starteten wir mit einem Ersatzheli auf einen eindrucksvollen Flug über die Berge, Canyon, Wasserfälle und Küstengebiete von Kauai, welche nicht befahren werden können. Wer möchte, kann sich für ca. 60 USD einen Stick des Originalflug kaufen. Dunkle Kleidung tragen ist schon wichtig, sonst spiegelt sich die Farbe im Fenster und entsprechend auf den Fotos. War toll, die Landschaft aus der Vogelperspektive!
Awesome trip!!! Most amazing aerial views of Kauai. Pictures do not do it justice. Highly recommend.
I just can say: do it! I was completely overwhelmed!👍 Never seen something so beautiful before like the Napali Coast!
We took the blue Hawaii tour on Kaua’i and it was incredible. There is a thrill of excitement the moment you take off, and it continues throughout the flight. The pilot was friendly and cautious so everyone felt safe. Though this flight is more than some it’s worth it—seems to be nicer helicopters and you see more of the island
WOW did they deliver,excellect staff from start to finish ,Pilot Kris gave a great commentary which was very informative,the chopper was fantastic and the flight was smooth as silk .now for the views , a few short words cannot explain how beautiful the many different scenes were , abosolutely amazing. One of the BEST holiday experiences i have had This is a must do when in Kauai
We took the helicopter tour on our first day in Kauai on our honeymoon and captain Shea made the trip worth every penny. He started ya off by explaining how the day was going to go and calmly explained to us how safe helicopters are and what to expect. He kept the flight smooth and comfortable while providing superb commentary on the various parts of the island. He also provided the group with tons of recommendations for local spots to go eat and different things to try out (snorkeling in certain places, etc). He made the trip enjoyable and fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to get a view of the island and to do it early in the trip.
We selected the 8am flight and woke up to rain and overcast skies, so we were worried our flight would be canceled. We showed up to the office and were reminded Kauai conditions can change often, and pilots can wait 15 minutes before scheduled take off, to decide whether to fly or not. Even though there were dark skies over the mountains, we were able to go on the tour. Greg was our pilot and shared a lot of information as we flew over the whole Island. The views were amazing, and because it had rained, the green colors on the mountains were even more vibrant. It was my first time in a helicopter and I felt completely safe. We flew through patches of rain, and in a couple areas we experienced mild turbulence, but Greg remained confident and unconcerned and just talked right through it, which eased my mind. We were able to get the two front row seats on the right, which I believe are WAY better than the back, since you get more space and wider viewing. You can either pay $100 more, per person, to receive the front row seats, or the pilot picks your seat based on size/weight, so it just comes down to luck. Luck worked in our favor. There is one seat directly next to the pilot in the front that I would NOT recommend, and definitely wouldn’t pay for. It had an obstructed view and is where a lot of the helicopter controls are. On our flight, that was the only seat not taken. Make sure you wear dark clothing if you’re planning on taking pictures. Anything light will reflect in your photos. I got some great shots, but saw the reflection of my white feet in a few. Great tour overall. Greg was able to get us up close to some cool sites. Great way to view the Island. Also, you have the option to purchase video of your flight, after.
