Punctual, great customer service, interesting and informative pilot, and the best view of Kauai...don't miss the opportunity to fly with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters! Remember not to wear light colored clothing as it reflects in the windows and messes with photo opportunities!

Our family of four embarked on our first ever helicopter ride and Blue Hawaiian was a great introduction to the experience. Their copters are comfortable and we found our pilot James ("Jimmy") reassuring, given that we were all a little nervous as newbies. The operation was smoothly run and everyone was very friendly (except for the lady who initially checked us in and got our weights; maybe she's been doing it for too long). We did have to wait a while after our ride for the staff to download and make copies of the digital video footage from inside and outside the copter so that the passengers could see a preview and decide whether to pay the $25 for the dvd (they were having some additional technical difficulties in our case and we ended up getting a copy of the dvd for free, which made the extra wait worth it). I highly recommend the overall experience, as you will get to see vistas of this gorgeous island that are otherwise inaccessible (and don't worry about wind or rain -- they're used to it and you can still see so much despite the conditions).

The pilot and helicopter were awesome. I would highly recommend this trip. I only gave it a very good because the office staff was unfriendly and untruthful. I booked waayy in advance to "reserve" the front seat. The lady on the phone said I was the first to request it. It wasn't until we arrived months later that they told me it goes by weight of passengers. I feel they held that back to make me happy and get me to book.

This was my favorite attraction on our 2 week hawaii honeymoon trip. The flight was smooth calm and very quiet. The helicopters have all floor to ceiling windows and allow you to see everything. My husband and I were able to sit right in the front next to the pilot. (they go by wieght) Our seats were awesome and we got great pictures. The views of Kauai are breathtaking and I think the best way to see them are helicopter. We saw waterfall after waterfall. The beauty was so intense that it brought tears to my eyes during our journey. The pilot tells you all about your views. This attraction is worth every penny.

Did 2 trips with these folks. Good orientation. Excellent equipment. Great pilots and excellent guides for both. Did this in Hilo and Nawiliwili, Kauai. Hilo: red lava, spatter cones, waterfalls - awesome. Kauai: tons of waterfalls, the amazing Wailea Canyon and Na Pali coast as well as a numerous movie sites including Jurassic Park, King Kong, South Pacific, Descendants etc. All with the appropriate music and wonderful narration. Best thing I did in Hawaii by far.

So worth the money! We had never been on a helicopter before and while it sounded excessive at first, our guidebook stressed that a trip to Kauai would not be complete without it. The staff was professional end to end, incredibly friendly, and really made a point to learn everyone’s name. Their helicopters are really nice, very comfortable with big windows. We were extremely lucky to get the front seats next to the pilot, who was friendly and knowledgeable and made an effort to engage everyone. The flight was amazing. We’d recommend it to anyone.

I did not want to take a helicopter tour as it was kinda scary to me. But I knew that of all the places a heli tour was a must, Kauai was it. We chose Blue Hawaiian for several reasons - reviews, size of our group (5) and a personal recomendation. We are so glad we did. Jimmy was our pilot and he was wonderful. He gave us all the geographical info, the historical info, the Hawaiian history, and pointed out all the famous movie spots. One of the things that Jimmy did that made our experience that much better was his sound track! He said each pilot was in charge of their own background music played during the trip. Jimmy's started wiht some 60's rock (closely associated with Vietnam) and then segued into Hawaiian tunes each corresponding perfectly to what we were flying over and viewing. Iz's Somewhere Over the Rainbow over Hanalei, and into the Mount Waiʻaleʻale sheild he plays this awesome Hawaiian tribal chant stuff. Completely amplified our experience. He wanted us to talk so our voices would be on the dvd they make of our trip but it was all so awesome we just muttered wow, and oohh, and stuff like that. You just take it all in and words just dont' work well. If you go to Kauai, go on a helicopter tour, and go Blue Hawaiian. You'll only be sorry if you don't do it.

Awesome, great, wonderful,exhilerating .I would do this again in a heart-beat. Not enough adjectives to describe how truly awesome this ride is! Vincent was our pilot and he was great as well. He was not only knowledgeable but pleasant and friendly with a touch of humor. We were able to purchase the DVD of our trip complete with narration and music which was a plus. This is something not to be missed. Next time we will do the longer flight on the other island.

From the first minute onwards you have the feeling that all staff are professionals and that you are in very good hands. We got picked up from the Nawilliwilli port and it took as only 2 minutes to the office where we got briefed. From there another 10 minutes to the airport. Blue-Heli is using the latest Helicopters - and when I saw the other companies I was even more sure to have choosen the right company. The whole process of boarding was very professionall. Once on the heli the pilot made our day. His flying skills where amazing and we enjoyed the trip verz much.... If you wanna see Hawaii , then only with is company! Thanks to the whole team for an unforgettable tour...

Great DVD you can take home to review and share with others about what you saw. Even a picture of those on the flight! Music cued to fit the view! Loved it!

Flight was about an hour and took you to locations you couldn't get too by other means. Scott was our pilot and he was amazing! The crew was pleasant and helpful.

The weather for our visit to Kauai was unpredictable and that was okay, however we were thinking about doing something different and once we saw the weather lift, we immediately called Blue Hawaiian. After looking at their reviews online, they were the only choice and we are so glad we did. Our pilot, Captain Vince was amazing and because there were lifts in the clouds we were able to fly into areas normally not accessible because of the weather. It was beautiful and he provided lots of amazing facts and information about the areas we flew over. The only thing I would say, as a photographer you want to pay the extra for the front seats - leaning over another person to get a shot can get a bit tiresome, luckily that person was my husband but we found ourselves fighting for shots! The whole experience was a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be doing a helicopter ride on our next trip to the next island, without a doubt! Dawne and David Morris

We loved the flight, Vincent was a great host and pilot.Spectacular views. Great history lesson of the island. Comfortable ride, music perfect for the areas.

We took the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour on our last day in a week long stay in Kauai. It definitely was one of the best things that we did on the Island. Our pilot was Eric and he did a wonderful job. He was both informitive and entertaining. We saw whales from the helicopter and the views of Na Pali and the crater were marvelous. I would highly recommend using Blue Hawaiian.

This is money well spent, wow, the pilot was amazing, the view, the perspective!! I was like a kid living a dream! What the heck We are all kids on this island!
