Marty was our pilot. He was excellent. Very informative. Fun. Went out of his way to make our flight special.

Breathtaking! Amazing! Stunning! Geoffrey was a wonderful guide. His calming voice and manner made this nervous flier immediately comfortable. The views simply left us speechless.

We were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and this was the cherry on top. We got to sit in the front seats and the view was crazy. We took the 60 min tour and if you ever get a chance to do this you have to see the island from the air. The helicopter we were in was one of the larger ones so you feel very comfortable in it. It was clean, cool and very cool. My wife loved it and it was the best part of the entire trip!

On past visits to the islands we have flown with Blue on each of Maui, Big Island and Oahu. So when we decided to come to Kauai this time the helicopter tour company choice was easy...and we were not dissapointed. The flight lasts for 55 minutes and even sitting in the back seats you still get a good view of everything as the pilot turns the aircraft so that both sides get to see the main sites. You get a good view of waterfalls, waimea canyon, napali coast etc etc. Would we fly with them again....most definitely. They may not be the cheapest but from what we have seen they are the best at what they do.

Talk about seeing paradise from the top. Blue Hawaiian gave us a tour we will never be able to duplicate. The points of interest and stories our pilot Craig was able to tell us were awesome. The clouds lifted and he gave us a private tour of places not usually seen by the human eye. To top it all off the flight along the uninhabited Napali Coast should be listed as one of the 7 wonders of the world. Flowing waterfalls and sites I thought I would never see in my lifetime.

We were worried about rain this morning, but I think it was better because the waterfalls were so beautiful while the clouds did not obscure our view. Our pilot was careful to show the canyons to both sides of the helicopter. I would love to do this again. What a wonderful experience.

This is a spectacular way to see the Island of Kauai, a truly beautiful place. Our pilot Brad did an awesome job of making feel at ease and his knowledge and onboard commentary was wonderful. Thank you a real highlight.

This was a great, loved the Eco-star helicopters and had a great pilot. The noise canceling headphones make it super quite and easy to talk to one another.

I cant understand why some people will not like this. Unless is raining or you dont have a window (that will never happen). WE LOVED THIS RIDE. We bought the vide too. Brandon was our pilot. He wsas very nice, friendly,professional.....and very funny. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. If you are going to spend some money forget it about tubing, zip-lining, etc. Do this please. Almost an hour on the air. There is no other way were you can see this. The waterfalls, the Canyons etc. We were so happy that we did this. We celebrated our wedding in Maui and after that some of our guest went to Honolulu and others came to Kaua'i. I suggested my friends going to Honolulu to hire the same company and they did. They were very happy.

This was the best thing we did while in Kauai. Our pilot was extremely informative, and gave us lots of information about the island while we flew around. We also took a boat tour of the Napali Coast, and thought that seeing it from the air did it so much more justice. Additionally we got to see the inactive volcanic crater, as well as fly into some of the valleys and see a lot of the water falls (including Jurassic Falls).

A truly amazing experience (Big Island Spectacular). Gregory our pilot was engaging and informative. The views of the volcano were impressive, but please know that depending on the day, you may only see a few lava breakthroughs and not flowing red lava, and it is no longer flowing into the ocean. Regardless, the views are impressive. The waterfalls and inner valleys were magnificent. We had such a clear day we were able to go deeper into the valleys than usual. The pilot did a great job of flying by interesting areas multiple times so all passengers could see. I flew the Ecostar, which was comfortable and offered a very smooth ride. Definitely worth the extra money for me. Video of the ride was very reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend this operation and tour!

Overall a very good trip. The weather was excellent so visibility was great. They flew all seven of our family in one helicopter. We were picked up at the resort, on time, which was excellent. Everyone could see from their seat. The pilot was good and she explained everything that we were seeing on the ground. She even took us out and down a bit towards the ocean to see a couple of whales, that was nice. She flew us right up to one waterfall as well. Oahu does not have any active volcanoes so don't expect anything on that front and there is was only one waterfall. We went early in the week so we got a flavor of North Shore, South Shore, etc. We did purchase the video, which comes on an SD card. I gave a 4 star only because there was nothing exciting to see but still overall good value for the money.

This is a fantastic opportunity that people should embark on when visiting Hawaii. A very professional, well run organisation with safety and modern equipment making it a fantastic experience. The pilots appear to be well skilled and extremely knowledgeable and the whole experience is a positive one! The efficiency of booking is very good, with easy to read and understand detailed joining instructions supplied. The 45 minute trip around Oahu is excellent value for money and allows you to really get an understanding of what the island looks like and you are able to see all the tourist attractions that you may wish to visit. We did our trip on the 2nd day of our holiday and it definitely helped us scope the next two weeks in terms of where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. The time spent in the helicopter allowed us to prioritise and enjoy our holiday a lot more as we knew where we wanted to go or felt that having seen a site from the air that the land visit would not have been worthwhile. Attractions of this nature are never cheap but in our opinion it was definitely money well spent and a great customer experience all round!! Thanks Blue Hawaiian for making our holiday that little bit 'more special'!!

This might not be the cheapest helicopter tour of the volcano and the waterfalls, but I bet you will agree that it is certainly worth the money. The lava was blisteringly red hot and moving ever so slowly, certainly not viewable except from above. The narrative by pilot Dave was very informative. Seeing a full circle rainbow from the air was just a bonus. Splurge a little and create a lifetime memory.

My wife bought us tickets for the Lava tour as an anniversary gift. I've never been up in a helicopter before and I was not disappointed. Now I won't fool you it is expensive as are most helicopter tours. But if you can invest in this, even as a once in a lifetime experience...take it.(My wife saved up just so we could do this.) Anyway our guide, Marko was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a great soundtrack to go along with the trip. Now my wife and got the Front Seat package(through our concierge). But from my undestanding all seats are good(plus there is a video of your trip with narration and music you can purchase afterwards.) Seriously though it is such an experience. Now unfortunately Hilo was experiencing heavy rain so we were unable to get close to any Lava(we could see some volcanic activity, but just from afar.) So because of this Marko gave us a chance to either return to base and reschedule for another day OR he could turn our tour into a Canyon/waterfall tour and have the company reimburse us for the difference. My wife voted second choice and pushed for all of us to do the Canyon/Waterfall. We totally lucked out. It was spectacular and gorgeous. He weaved us through some of the most gorgeous valleys and canyons I've ever seen. The music helped(but the experience would have been just as awesome without it. He even got us over a WWII bomber that is still sitting in a valley on the island. Please look it up on google...amazing story...totally made the change in the trip worth it. This was the absolute highlight of our trip to Hawaii(The heat/humidity killed the rest of our trip.) But like I said it's worth it if you can afford it(and try and afford it - please.) Spend th rest of your trip hanging on the beach or hiking, but make sure to take a day for this trip(lava or canyon). There was a nice shuttle service(complimentary) the they provide. We were on the Kona side of the island so this was a nice extra(especially since we had to get up so damn early that morning.)
