First time in a helicopter! You are truly missing out viewing Kauai if you don't take a helicopter ride. Blue Hawaiian did an excellent and professional job. It was fun, but not at the expense of safety. Our pilot did an effective job at narrating what we were seeing and was a pro. If you do this, I would encourage you to take the flight early in your stay in order to get the literal "big picture" of the island.

Doesn't describe it. This tour is amazing. Our pilot captain brad was impressive. The narration and knowledge are beyond anything we expected. My husband is a pilot and is still talking about how Brad talked, flew and talks to the tower. We did this on our first day as suggested. It is a great way to get to know the island,,,,, Don't hesitate at all...... Book it and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first helicopter ride and Blue Hawaiian raised my expectations bar all the way to the top for any trip that follows. State of the art helicopters, knowledgeable pilots and awesome views. Great way to see the island. Rainbows in Waimea Canyon were breathtaking. Would recommend spending the extra dollars for this fabulous experience.

This was so worth the extra cost, because it was a private helicopter ride and you were guaranteed the great views. The pilot was excellent and professional. This was a 55 minutes ride but felt longer. We lucked out with the weather, too. One of the highlights was going into the crater and going along the Na Pali coast.

This company is first class, professional, and makes the passenger confident throughout the flight. Beautiful views of rugged Kauai that can be experienced in no other way.

Learned about BHH in a travel guide for Maui, but author so loved this tour group and this mountain. I see why. Worth every (steep) penny, but only way to see what you will see. Our pilot was Michael, very nice. After awhile, we all stopped talking.. breathtaking views overtook us. Stick with BHH, other helicopter agencies looked much smaller and less professional.

Got my daughter and wife up in a helicopter tour of Kauai. When they landed they could not stop talking about how great it was, about the beautiful the Na Pali coast and Wai Mea valley, etc. I did not go on he flight because I am a military helicopter pilot and get to see Hawaii daily from the air. I trust Blue Hawaii to fly my family

Flew with Marty on the 28th of October and had a great time! What a great way of seeing the island that you a visiting. This was our 2nd time flying with Blue Hawaiian (flew in Oahu in December of 2012) Marty was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the people of the island….(or pulled off a great sham (jk) and had a great sense of humor. Experience last about an hour and a half beginning with preflight instruction thru the 45 minute flight. Great time, extremely qualified and professional, from the staff to their equipment all the way down to their building – highly recommend the trip with Blue Hawaiian – well worth every penny. PS make sure you wear dark color so you don’t see your reflection in your pictures!

Well worth a trip. Friendly staff and a pilot who knew all about the island... A must do experience and we were glad we picked this company we couldn't fault the service at all

Get the birds eye view of one of the prettiest islands in all if Hawaii! Our pilot was very informative and went so close to the sides of the cliffs and caves. Truly an axing experience. Very smooth ride in the helicopter! Would highly recommend this for explorers and those wanting to view the other 90% of the beautiful Kauai island.

If you haven't been to Kauai, you should absolutely plan a helicopter trip on your first visit. To say that the views were amazing would be the understatement of a lifetime! We went on a couples trip and now I can't wait to go back with my kids, and I will definitely be taking them on a helicopter tour. I did some research ahead of time, and while Blue Hawaii was one of the few at the top of the list, we actually went with it because our resort gave us a deal on it. It was pricier than a couple of the other companies, but when we got to the airport and drove by a number of the other helicopter operations, Blue Hawaii was by far and away the most professional looking company there, which was a good thing for my husband because as the professional nature of the operation eased his nerves a little. (A number of the other operations worked out of a tent or even were just a guy sitting by a helicopter.). The guide was great, and like the other reviews stated, he did a great job of getting good photo ops for everyone on the flight, regardless of where they were sitting. We bought the DVD of our flight, which was actually a pretty good bargain for such a personalized souvenir (around $25). A couple of considerations when you take the trip.... It rains often in Kauai, so it is very hard to plan the trip according to which days it will be nice during your stay. However, it can be raining on one side and very sunny on the other side at the same time, so many flights hit rain for a little bit, don't worry if you go up and it is raining at some point (which also makes me somewhat skeptical of the "open door" helicopter flights that other companies offer on Kauai). Also, be sure to wear darker, non-shiny clothes, as they definitely reflect less off the windows when you are taking pictures. When we go again, we will either go with Blue Hawaii, or there is another trip where you actually get out of the helicopter at the bottom of Jurassic Falls and walk around for a bit, which was a little more expensive, but seems interesting. I would definitely recommend Blue Hawaii to anyone looking for a helicopter trip, though! Have fun!

What an amazing adventure! First time in a helicopter and I wasn't scared. The moment you clear the airport, the views are breathtaking. Our pilot Marty was very friendly and knowledgable. I would say it is the only way to get the feel of Kauai since a lot of it is unreachable. You have an option to buy the video of your flight, which we did. Spectacular tour and well worth the money.

My family and I decided to take a tour, and Blue Hawaiian was recommended by some family friends and a nearby hotel. The establishment is really professional, unlike some of the other operators around. The price was a bit higher, but we figured Helicopter tours are not something to skimp on. We were sure glad we didn't! Very comfortable seats, and great view out of their windows. The pilot even had some of the crew on the ground wipe all the windows and cameras so we had a clear view, and asked us to make sure we didn't have any obstructions on our sides of the chopper before taking off. There are so many waterfalls to see that we didn't know about, and seeing Waimea Canyon from the air was unreal. The Napali Coast was pretty amazing, and I don't think it would look any better without spending a few days hiking there. We were so close to the water we could see whales! The clouds and rain moved around the islands and canyons very quickly, so we got great views of the canyon before rains moved in and waited to see some of the other parts of the island until the clouds moved out. Our pilot was really knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions during the tour with great abilities. We were happy that the whole tour was recorded and bought the DVD after. The quality while viewing the preview in the office was not as good as the finished product on our BluRay player. Such an amazing experience, I was glad I brought my camera and GoPro as well! Money well spent!

If there's one thing to do in Hawaii it should be a helicopter tour! Wow what views! Brandon was our pilot and he was funny, friendly, informative - would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian helicopters. And they offer an option to purchase a DVD of your actual flight video and recording for only $25.

Joffrey (Geoffrey) was our pilot and he was awesome. Family loved the vistas and whale spotting and would highly recommend this if you are in Kauai.
