Our helicopter ride along the Napali Coastline and over the canyons and waterfalls of Kauai was spectacular! Brody, our pilot, was the best!

This is an expensive activity...that's worth every penny!   Professional, pleasant staff that make the before and after trip time very nice as well.   Request pilot Shea.  Dude knows everything.

Great trip! We had Pilot Scott. He was awesome! Super informative and fun! He did a great job flying and made us all feel so safe and ready to explore! The Na Pali coast was incredible from the sky! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai!

My family LOVES Blue Hawaiian! Their main hub is so clean. Service is impeccable. When you enter, you check in and get weighed...don't worry they won't reveal this to your entire party but it is required to balance that metal bird. All parties are escorted to the area for a safety briefing. They provide black shirts to avoid reflections but I suggest wearing black clothing with sleeves. No sweaters or it will make you hot and a bit dizzy. Oh and turn off you flash!!! Our pilot is Brodi. He was knowledgeable, smooth and inclusive. We have an 8 year old with us who thoroughly enjoyed his experience. We were taken to places that have not been visited by even the locals! Nothing compares to this experience. I loved learning about the history of Kauai even the movies shot in the island such as Jurrasic Park and Indiana Jones. This is the company to use...updated gear...excellent tour of breathtaking places and quality service!

Don't leave Kauai without doing this.  Very cool experience.  Special shout-out to Geoff for a great guided tour complete with very interesting facts. My only feedback would be to improve the transparency around weather postponements.  We had a Friday tour scheduled and called ahead and were told it was on.  We made the 30 minute drive to the airport only to be told that the tour *might* be cancelled, waited another 15 minutes, and then learned of the cancellation.  I'm sure air traffic control and safety issues are in play here but it wasn't an ideal customer experience.  Having said that, rescheduling was easy and the tour was terrific so five stars all the way.

Wow!  A must do tour while on Kauai!  This is the only way to see the entire island including places you can't drive, hike or boat to. I have to say I was very nervous to do a helicopter tour but from the minute we took off it was so amazing I forgot all about that!  The scenery on this island is unbelievable.  The pilot was very knowledgeable as he flew us around and gave us interesting facts about the island. It was also nice to have a native of Kauai as our guide.   I loved the timing of the music in the headphones, Jurassic Park theme as we flew over that location, etc. Really nice touch there! I read good reviews on Blue Hawaiian before we picked our tour.  It is a very nicely run organization from the person I booked the tour with over the phone to the staff at the airport, to the pilot.  All very professional! You can' t go wrong with this tour, I highly recommend it!

Epic tour and Geoff was awesome! So much better than a 4 hour boat tour for the same price... The staff was excellent and super friendly. The helicopter ride was perfectly comfortable both in ride quality and temp. Truly awesome experience and they best (and in parts only) way to see the island of Kauai!

I've traveled with other helicopter agencies and while they all travel the same familiar route the don't all offer the same service nor use the same equipment.  Blue Hawaiian, however, is top drawer! Their helicopters are really good. Not long ago I road with another agency whose machine had seen better days...I wondered if we were going to make it over the top of the mountain...we did but it was close! On this occasion, I sent my mother-in-law with my youngest son...the results? She couldn't stop taking about the flight and about Blue Hawaiian. In fact I heard about it all day! The bottom line is this: If you're going to drop serious dollars on a flight go with the best: Blue Hawaiian!

We took a 45 minute helicopter tour while on the island of Kauai and I can honestly say it was the highlight of our entire trip.  Sure, it's pricey, but let me say, it's worth every single penny and some.  It's an absolute must do if you are on Kauai, you get to see so much of the island, including the waterfalls used in the helicopter scene in Jurassic Park and the beautiful coastlines.  I'm glad to say descending down by the waterfalls is a lot smoother than depicted in the movie! If you only read this far - then my job is done here.  For those who want a little more, here it is... First off, the helicopters are very modern and kept in first class shape.  Even as an aviation enthusiast, and someone who flies a lot, I will not deny I was nervous to take my first helicopter flight.  Well let me tell you, the nerves disappear the second you are off the ground and are replaced with "wow".  These craft are so smooth and vibration free you just become mesmerized with the gorgeous scenery passing below.  Of course, much of this comes down to the great pilots, and our pilot, Miguel, made our flight very smooth and very enjoyable, taking us very close to various landmarks and talking us through all of it.  He talked to everyone by name, and was very good at answering questions and accommodating requests to get closer to something or visit a certain landmark. Flying up and over the hills through the clouds is really cool because one second it's clear, then there is rain on the windshield, and in 10 seconds more back out into clear skies.  It's a cool experience. When we were done, both my wife and I said, I think there will be more helicopter flights in our future.  If you have any hesitation, don't, just do it.  You won't regret it.

Is it money?  Yes.   But its worth every penny. Our pilot (Shane?) was knowledgeable, funny, and easy to converse with, but I'm sure that they're all great. Just do it.

This circle island tour is amazing and spectacular! Our pilot, Barrett, is a local boy from Kaua'i and knows the island like the back of his hand. The new helicopters are terrific and give great views. Kama'aina rates are available which made the pain of the high prices (but well worth it!) more affordable. I'd go again in a heartbeat! You'll love it if you get good weather like we did. We were able to fly right into the caldera of Wai'aleale, a once in a lifetime experience. Na Pali coast was of course equally spectacular. I understand there is a boat trip at Na Pali as well which I am sure is also terrific! I must remember it for next time on Kaua'i!! And yes the souvenir USB stick with a recording of your tour is a very nice souvenir. The video is quite good but of course nothing beats seeing first hand!

Wow.  What an experience.  Our pilot, Brody, was great.  He did a fantastic job circling the helicopter so everyone got a good vie of the major landmarks on the tour.  He also did a great job listening to our questions when asked.  As a nice touch he also called all of us by name.  The ride was a bit behind schedule  but when we were loaded things went smoothly.  No need to take aisickness medicine as our ride was so smooth. I would wholeheartedly recomend Blue Hawaiian for a helicopter tour of Kauai.  It is an easy going experience not to be missed.

Wow!!!! Most fun I've had on Kauai! The best and only way to see this beautiful island. Brody was a fantastic pilot and tour guide!! Thank you for everything!!

This was the best thing we did on our trip, period. It was my first helicopter flight and I am scared of heights, so I was nervous. They go over extensive safety guidelines and directions before you board. They choose your seat based on your weight (discreetly) to make sure the helicopter is balanced. Lucky for me, I got to sit in the front with an unobstructed view! Our pilot, Brad, was great. Very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. I got teary as we came upon the Na Pali coast--it is just gorgeous. We were also lucky enough to see several humpbacks! Seeing a mom and baby was a highlight of the tour. We bought our video of the tour. We both thought that it was a perfect thing to do on Kauai. You really get a feel for the whole island! We did it on the first full day we had on Kauai--highly recommend!!

At first we were very disappointed when our first flight was cancelled due to weather.   We were later thrilled because we came to realize that they knew full well when it was safe and ideal to fly.  We had a terrific flight and Jimmy was very knowledgeable about where to take us and what we were seeing.  Yes, the flight was expensive, but it was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii.
