We had a terrific tour and flight experience. Outstanding pilot - Brad. He was very knowledgeable about island history. The Eco Star helicopter was quiet, roomy and very stable in flight. We really enjoyed this flight and will go again with this company the next time we visit!
I cannot recommend this experience enough. It is absolutely worth the expense. A brilliant experience. Our pilot, Chris, was impressively skilled and knowledgeable, despite having to make the same tour repeatedly on a daily basis he still managed to be enthusiastic. The equipment is wonderful. The whole operation is extremely professional. Don't miss it.
If this is the only thing you do in Hawaii it is well worth it. I went with a 70 year old who is afraid of heights and a 3 year old and we all loved it. Our pilot, Brad, was informative and made sure we saw the whole island. The views are amazing and the whole process was professional.
Mark was fantastic. It was a great trip and worth every penny! That’s all there is to it! Thank you so much!
Awesome in the true sense of the word. Truly breathtaking. If you do nothing else in Kauai, this is absolutely a must!
This tour is worth the price if you want a beautiful way to see the stunning cliffs and waterfalls of the island. The captain of the bird was knowledgeable of the area, the history, and the perfect picture spots. The comfortable helicopter has a/c and big open windows for viewing. I highly recommend this trip for first time visitors to the island because you will see things on this tour [and the bus ride to the helipads] that you would not normally see.
This is a fabulous, must-do activity! See where you have been and where you should go next before going home.
We have previously went with Blue Hawaiian helicopters for tour on Kauai so we thought we would use them on the Big Island. We were not disappointed. We were in the air for about 2 hours. We were able to see views of Kilauea volcano that we could not have seen without some serious hiking, and then probably not as good as we saw. The pilot was excellent and did a great job of making sure both sides of the helicopter were able to see the sights. He did a great job of explaining what we were seeing and answering questions. When we flew near the water falls it was like we could reach out and touch them. It was fantastic. The music was always appropriate for what we were seeing. The extra cost for the two hour tour that takes off from Waikoloa instead of Hilo was worth it to us if nothing else to avoid the long drive to Hilo. We recommend Blue Hawaiian and the EcoStar helicopter to all.
Excellent flight, very enjoyable, you see so much and it gives you a great perspective of the Island
Marty did a beautiful job! Loved the tour...so soothing, beautiful & memorable. We were in great hands! Excellent pilot...smooth flight. Thank you! :)
We did the trip with Blue Hawaiian today and were treated with impeccable weather ( not always a given in Kauai in Dec! ). The trip was first class from the terminal, to staff ,to helicopter and most of all Barrett the tour guide/ pilot. Thank you Jeff and Sandie for a wonderful anniversary present.
Our group of two couples did a Charter that was basically the big island spectacular with waterfall landing and then transportation to Maui with flightseeing of National park and road to Hana. The staff at Blue Hawaiian were very helpful in setting this up and accommodating all of our requests. All of the logistics were as scheduled and the Eco-Star is an amazing piece of machinery perfectly suited to flightseeing and photography. Now for the incredible! Tom Allen our pilot was fantastic making sure that all sides of the helicopter got a view and getting us up close and personal with some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. We were able to see about 3/4 of the big island by air which included actually being able to see flowing lava, more waterfalls than you can count and unbelievably beautiful land and seascapes! Then more amazing sights on the way to the heliport on Maui. I can't say enough wonderful things about this charter and the company!
Many parts of the island cannot be accessed any other way. In addition, the amount of scenic beauty and diversity cannot be experienced any other way. We took the extended tour with landing and saw active lava, gorgeous waterfalls, macadamia nut farms, cattle ranches and took extensive photos. Our pilot Greg S. was congenial, experienced, professional and knowledgeable which was a real treat.
We took the Kohala Coast tour on the eco-star helicopter and our pilot was Jason. It was a nice ride that lasted almost an hour which is just enough and Jason was knowledgeable of the area. I'm from the island of Oahu and was with my nephew who is from Kealakekua (located on the island of Hawaii). Being born and raised in Hawaii doesn't always mean that you are able to enjoy everything it has to offer. On this tour, we were able to see and appreciate a part of the island that we've always known about but never did get to enjoy because of accessibility. I would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian on your next trip to Hawaii.
A must do. Expensive but we'll worth it. You get to see things you would never see. Water falls we're beautiful. Fly over of Pearl Harbour was great. A must do.
