This helicopter tour is a must. Less than 25% of Kauai is accessible by vehicles (information provided on the tour) so to really expose yourself to the amazing topography of the island, a bird's eye view is the best. The helicopters seem pretty brand new and the windows are very large. I was in one of 2 back middle seats and was able to enjoy the views on both sides of the heli. Our pilot was a Kauai native and provided information that I guarantee we would not hear anywhere else. This tour was spectacular.

BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. I have a fear of heights, so this was my very first helicopter tour, and I can say without a doubt that it was simply amazing! From start the end, the entire experience was great. I booked online, which was quick and easy, and they got me scheduled onto a flight within a day of my contacting them. They also called to confirm my reservation the day before. I called them the day to find out if they had parking, and they had plenty of parking spaces in front of their building. It's not the least bit of a hassle that they're at Lihue Airport, in fact, it made the navigation easier (although honestly, navigation on Kauai is just easy because there's literally one highway). Upon arrival, all the staff were really friendly and excited for us. They were engaging, and most of them were natives, so they were already telling us a whole lot about Kauai. Once everyone had arrived and they were ready, we sat through a quick safety video about flying in helicopters, and the ground crew who walked us through all the safety features were also friendly and really entertaining. Seriously, I don't know how you make a safety demonstration entertaining (while getting your point across) but they did. Awesome team! Then came the helicopter. Our pilot was Brody, and he was absolutely the best! He was friendly and immediately started introducing himself and everyone once we started boarding, and he was really friendly and fun. Again I've never been in a helicopter, but the ride was extremely smooth and aside from being nervous when we initially took off, I felt right at home once we were in the sky. At no point did I feel scared or nervous, which is an accomplishment because I get anxious even looking over a second-floor balcony, so that really shows you how amazing the aircraft (EcoStar) and pilot are. Of course the views help because you're so immersed in the beauty around you that I think you forget about the fact that you're flying thousands of feet in the air (or it might be higher but let's not try to think about that). And the helicopter was just so comfortable! I mean, even after an hour I didn't feel sore at all! We were very fortunate to have mostly perfect weather, aside from the usually clouds and little sprinkling of rain within the mountains, everywhere else it was perfect and we saw everything! Brody had this movie music playlist (which he said he took days putting together) and it was so perfectly timed with the flight, it really just elevated an already spectacular experience. Brody was extremely knowledgeable, being a native of Kauai and apparently his mother was a history teacher, so he had lots of great things to say at every bend. I loved his tone and voice, somehow the way he narrated our flight was just so perfect, and the flight path we took was really amazing. Brody constantly told us how fortunate he was to live on such a beautiful island, and more importantly, be able to see these views on a daily basis, and you can really tell how proud he is of his home, and somehow that made the experience even more intimate. Overall, this is a must-do if you're in Kauai. The majority of the island isn't accessible by land, which is such a shame because it really is such a beautiful island. You can really see why they call it the Garden Island, there is so much greenery everywhere. And the staff here really make it a beautiful experience. I would do this again every single time I come back to Kauai (which I plan to do often). Hands down, this was the best part of our trip!

Our first helicopter ride was awesome! The crew (before, during and after the flight) treated us with aloha, especially with our special needs daughter. Wesley was a great host and answered non-stop questions from my inquisitive 11 year-old son! May God bless the Blue Hawaiian staff! Malama pono.

This is our second trip to Kauai for my husband and I and our first helicopter ride together ! This experience was fantastic, peaceful, informative, interesting, with some good laughs, and a must do to truly see, appreciate, and respect all of Kauai. Also, the staff was great, professional, courteous, attentive, and detailed oriented. Also, you get the option to purchase a flash drive that contains a recording of your flight! Ours was free because of the resort we we're staying at which was a pleasant surprise, but I would have purchased it too. So, with that being said, my husband and I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Mahalo!

A little disappointed that our flight got cancelled but turns out the later flight was better. Everyone was so nice>.

This was probably one of the best excursions we've ever had. Our pilot was very informative and he made sure that everyone on board had a great experience. We will recommend you guys to everyone we know visiting Hawaii!

Rich was great, made us feel safe and was very informative.

Well organized, informative. Kristy was exceptional! Thanks for the memories.

So happy I did this. Brody was an awesome pilot. So knowledgeable and informative. Helicopter was very comfortable. Kauai is like the Garden if Eden, and this is the only way to see much of the interior. I was lucky to sit in seat 2, front, by the door. Got the same view as the pilot.

Brody was both very informative and professional. He took every opportunity to give us the tour of a lifetime. Of course his job was made quite easy by the magnificence of the island. This is in my top 5 experiences of my life.

Thanks a lot, we enjoyed the trip so much! We will totally recommend it. The only thing is that people should respect the dark clothes recommendation, as it reflects a lot in the window!

Pilot was great. Flight was a fun experience. A little on the cloudy/rainy side.

Very skilled and informative pilot. Very friendly staff. Great sights. Spent plenty of time at volcano and falls.

We had a wonderful tour over the lava fields and volcano. It was very interesting seeing the extent of the devastation form previous eruptions. A great day and we will recommend the tour to anybody interested in doing this

Fantastic
