If there's one thing you must do on Kauai it's this. The forty minute scenic flight around the garden island is truly spectacular with a bird's eye view of the rugged interior, waterfalls and untouched lushness taking away your breath at nearly every opportunity. Our pilot was highly informative and the scenery was absolutely extraordinary. My partner and I were both totally blown away by the experience and couldn't recommend it enough.

We had the most amazing experience last week! Nathan was our pilot, and not only was he an excellent pilot, but very knowledgeable as well. I was so nervous initially, but the ride was smooth and I loved the music that came through the headphones. The scenery was majestic and we even saw a 360 degree rainbow! To think I almost missed out by being afraid. We loved it and highly recommend them!

Our tour was absolutely fantastic! Marty the pilot was very casual and knowledgable, and having 10,000 flying hours under his belt is a really strong indicator of pilot experience. I've been wanting to get into aviation and part of this experience was to get into a helicopter. Did not disappoint! Very narrative and knowledgable of the terrain and geographical features of Kauai.

It was our first helicopter ride, and we were amazed at how smooth and comfortable the ride was. Instead of the noise that we expected, there was nice beautiful music throughout the flight, along with interesting and personal stories about the island from our pilot Barrett, who was very knowledgeable and funny. The views were amazing and impossible to describe here in words. Kauai is definitely the place for an air tour like this. There is an option to buy a video of your own tour for $25, which is a great deal for keeping such a memory. Just a word of warning though: the video quality was a little disappointing. But the content made up for it. Happy flying!

We were on the NCL cruise and found this company on Trip Advisor - just a fantastic experience and perhaps the highlight of the week. Our pilot was knowledgeable of all the key sites and he made sure we spent the appropriate time at each place for picture taking. One thing I noticed is there were very few roads - so the tour went to places only to be seen by air. The entire process was safe, and our pilot was stationed in former towns in Germany that I was! Overall gets my highest rating for fun and adventure, and if you are deciding between this and something else, pick this.

Kauai is incredible, and in a lifetime you could not hike or make you way to some of the most incredible places here. Craggy peaks, high waterfalls, incredible valleys - the ONLY way to see them is via helicopter, and no charter does it better than Blue Hawaiian - we have used them on Maui and Hawaii with similar, stellar experiences. You will not be disappointed. The DVD may seem a bit overkill or cheesy at the time of the flight, but get it - it is SO worth it when you return, if not for the places the camera is aimed that you missed while gawking. Top notch flight crew and safety - would not think twice booking them again or on any island.

Second time using Blue Hawaiian and had a wonderful time. Great pilots!!! Tour was very well planned.

This tour helped confirm that Kauai is one of the most spectacular places in terms of natural wonders that I have ever seen. The tour was excellent, we waited a little while due to traffic at the airport but everything else went smoothly. Most of my party had never been in a helicopter before and thoroughly enjoyed it, one person had motion sickness (after the flight thankfully) but otherwise we had a really nice flight. We all enjoyed the headsets/microphones and realised how funny it was when we purchased the flight video and listened to our oohs and aahs during the flight. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this tour - I did do a lot of research and found the price reasonable.

Our first helicopter ride! This is a top notch outfit -all of the staff, and especially our pilot Brandyn - were excellent. The helicopter was comfortable and the company was very focused on safety and enjoyment. Riding into the Waimea Canyon and along the Na Pali Coast was spectacular - a once in a lifetime experience. The beauty of Kauai is incredible from the sky.

Brian tried really hard to get our quiet mob talking he was a great conductor!! Marty was our pilot he was a great both pilot and guide. The whole company provided a great experience. Never been in a helicopter before but it was wonderful, safe and comfortable.

Great experience. The team was very professional. The flight was smooth - no turbulence. There are so many water-falls and scenic views that you will be not be able to see from land, and, what you will see from up there is beyond words. The only factor that can change the outcome of your experience - the weather (clouds,etc). We lucked out - the weather was perfect. Bright sunny day - no clouds that obstructed the views. There are 4 seats that are ideal, 2 front row seats or two back row window seats Would do it again, if I get a chance.

We had a great pilot and a great experience. Wow, what a view! It isn't cheap, but you get to see the island in a way that you will never forget. We won't take the kids, but it was nice to take the tour with my wife. Ask for Brad...

I tried to take the helicopter on an earlier visit to Kauai and was rained out. Refund occurred immediately and within a month we came back to explore Kauai more and take the Napali ride. It was spectacular. The helicopter was comfortable and Brandon the pilot was entertaining and well versed on the island. Be sure to wear black long sleeved shirts and pants to avoid reflection when taking pictures. You really can't appreciate the beauty of Kauai unless you're in the air!

We flew with Nathan, who was trained with the Alaska National Guard, and he was the best! Very personable, great sense of humor, described what we were seeing and quiet when we were awed. This is absolutely the only way to see what a limited number of others will ever get to see...the views are of rugged majesty and every hour, depending on the sun, the terrain looks different. This helicopter tour was probably the best highlight of our Hawaiian vacation...and there were so many!

My family and I booked the "hour" long trip and had a wonderful time. Our pilot's name was Marty and he was very friendly and knowledgable about the island and it's features. I did my research on tour pilot flying credentials and decided to go with Blue Hawaiin. My Mom was a little aprehensive at first but was put at ease shortly by Marty's skillful and safe flying. The Echostar was very comfortable (we had only four people and the pilot). The optional video of your trip is a terrific way to capture the memories... picture don't do the island justice. IMO this is the only way to see all the beautiful and rugged areas of the island. It is said aprox. 80% of the island can only be reached by helicopter. I recommend this service.
