This is absolutely the way to see the island. Geoffrey and the rest of the staff was amazing! If it's your first time to the island;plan this your first couple of days so you can truly see everything the island has to offer. my girlfriend and I literally were in awe around every turn during the helicopter ride. Don't miss out on this experience.

Mike was our pilot, we had the time of our lives. We we're celebrating 20 years of marriage and owning our own tour Buisness in Georgia our expectations we're high. Mike did a great job and was super informative. Thanks for a great time.

Wonderful and informative experience about the island of Kaua'i! Since most of the island is inaccessible on land, the helicopter ride is the best option to see it all!

It's not about the ride but all about the scenery. We had such a different perspective of the island from above than you do on the ground. Yes it's expensive. However if you have AAA ($215) or Costco ($200) you can get a discount. Don't be shy. Our pilot was Jaffee, native to Hawaii and answered all our questions, have an excellent tour, felt very safe... Highly recommend to do this on this island to get the full untainted view. Everyone was extremely professional and customer service was great. The only negative was that the CS rep did not know about the Costco certificates. ???? How could you not? But she did offer the AAA discount. The helicopter was very smooth, comfortable. A must do!!

Pilot Geoffrey was fantastic!! Loved everything about the flight -- and the music enhanced the experience too! HIGHLY Recommended. I was a little nervous about the trip but seconds into it I felt completely safe :) Can't wait to return with family do they can enjoy it as well!

A visit to Kauai is not complete until you have seen the island from the air! It is truly spectacular and worth every penny. My experience with Blue Hawaiian was great - spacious lounge while you wait for your flight and all of the staff were very friendly. If you have a fear of flying or worried about motion sickness this is the company for you - the helicopters are very smooth and extremely comfortable and the pilots are obviously very skilled. Our pilot, Greg, also knew everything about Kauai so was able to answer any questions that came up. All in all this is great value for the money you will spend!

simply awesome and breathtaking best excursion of our visit to the islands captain craig our pilot was very imformitive

Brad was our pilot, US Army trained and wonderful. Although it was raining we had a great flight. You could see everything really well and Brad was so knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging. The Blue Hawaiian Helicopter company is so professional, very organized, and the helicopters very comfortable with great views from everywhere in the helicopter. You are able to purchase the video of your flight including videos of you in flight. The price is very reasonable and it will be the best 50 minutes you spend. Don't miss this and take your camera as well. They will take a picture of you at the end of the flight with the helicopter.

Blue Hawaiin is a phenominal way to understand new things about your connection to the world when flying over a geological wonder. Seeing lava flow into the sea was epic and humbling and it's difficult to articulate....the earth being formed. The pilots are great at putting all at ease and the music, although not necessary, adds to the perfomrance. Do it.

Our tour was out of Hilo on the Big Island. Our pilot, Ethan, was very knowledgeable about the geography and Hawaiian culture, and he is a nice guy, too. We were able to see the lava flows and some spectacular scenery which can only be appreciated from the air. The trip went around a few hot-spots, the top of Kilauea and down to the ocean. We also flew by a bunch of waterfalls on the way back to the airport. Time spent in the helicopter was about an hour. Highly recommend getting the video for $25, lots of things we saw but didn't remember until seeing the video.

Impressive Pilot. We loved it and will do it again! The whales were a treat. Thank you for the best experience ever!

The flight itself gave a good view of Oahu however a couple of things to be wary of when booking. Firstly, if you want Kualoa Valley it is unlikely you will fly into the valley due to the weather. We flew straight passed it and upon return to base we asked why we did not go down and were advised it is unlikely due to weather. Turns out this happens a lot speaking to others who have taken the flight. So if you want Kualoa Valley, go on the ground, don't go expecting to fly down it like they do in the movies! Secondly, our pilot Loren, swerved a lot particularly when he saw something move in the ocean and he seemed more interested in trying to find whatever it was, twisting and turning us all over the place to find it (though didn't ever end up doing so). I felt too much time was spent truing to whale watch then seeing the Island and towards the end we ran out of time and skimmed straight over the top of Pearl Harbour unable to get any decent photographs. Also I felt sick for an hour after that flight from all the swerving!! So really just a heads up, it was a good flight overall, we hot some great photos but I was just disappointed in the above and thought this should be shared. P.s. for the company, I didn't write a review onsite as requested because I felt very sick and a bit cross having spent the money and not seeing the site I wished to see most!

Right from being picked up at our hotel to drop off back there we had an exciting adventure. Our pilot Greg was fantastic. His commentary was informative and plentiful and his calmness and expertise in the wild weather Mother Nature threw at us ensured we were well informed and safe. Our views over the volcanoes were spectacular. Unfortunately our trip into the waterfall valley could not proceed but the re-route around the bottom of the island and up the west coast was spectacular as was the thunder storm we were skirting. Excellent job on safety and refund due to the wild weather would have us return if back in Hawaii and certainly reco

What a thrilling experience! I was terrified by the thought of being in a helicopter at first, but our pilot Marty was so calm and professional. He made me feel comfortable and safe. I absolutely loved the stunning views and the informative commentary. I'm so glad I didn't give in to fear! I will never forget the experience. I researched and called around. I'm convinced that Blue Hawaiian is the best. They are a first class operation. They made my trip to Kauai unforgettable!!! Thanks.

"Grandpa" Craig was our pilot, he was great! Took the tour in an Eco Adventurer helicopter. Felt VERY safe, very smooth flight. The only way to see Kauai is by air, as most areas are inaccessible. Booked direct through Blue Hawaiian, they meet you at the pier an hour prior to the flight, they take care of everything, great experience.
