We decided to leave a comment on the computer after our ride and was quite surprise to receive an email that read , if you would like a free DVD , reply to the email . Several days later we received the DVD.....The staff was very friendly and our Pilot Chris was fantastic . Thank you Blue Hawaiian for an adventure of a Lifetime ! Mahalo

Ian was an incredible pilot and guide for our volcano and Waipio Valley helicopter tour! From take off to landing, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters were just first rate and the helicopter looked brand new, spotless glass for maximum viewing, and Ian got us close enough to each site, big or small, that we could take as many photos as we needed and then put the camera down and firmly set the incredible visual memories in our memory banks forever! This tour was priceless! We had the best day possible weather wise and no vog so, with Ian's storytelling, history and geography lesson, and perfect music selection playing, we were literally on cloud #9!!

This was an epic journey. Do not miss this! Ian is an amazing pilot and tour guide... Highly recommend him if you can make it happen!

Fun outing. safety brief, prep etc was not too lengthy. friendly and courteous staff. reasonable price for SD card from inside the helicopter. I would def recommend this outing. Must-do activity for Hawaii trip.

If you want to see the entire island and you don't want to fight traffic, I would highly recommend taking a Blue Hawaiian helicopter. The flight was nice and smooth. We got to see mountains, waterfalls and vast farms of vegetables, bananas and pineapples. We also saw much of the coastline. It was a great trip.

My wife and I have now flown twice with Blue Hawaiian and I can't say enough good things about them. Very efficient and friendly check-in service and, most importantly, our latest pilot had 18 years experience flying helicopters in search and rescue efforts. I will continue to fly Blue Hawaiian every opportunity I get.

Don't even consider using another helicopter tour because this one's the best!! Our tour guide, Barrett, was so kind and had such a calm demeanor. We felt very safe in the ride and the views are breathtaking. If you splurge on one thing, this is MUST DO activity when visiting Kauai!! We can't stop watching the video from our tour -- lovely music in the background too.

I was a little apprehensive as I am not fond of heights, but what an incredible adventure. I certainly recommend doing this!

Blue helicopter tours was fantastic! Our pilot was great and I got lots of really nice photos! The tour of the island was amazing and soo beautiful. It was my first time in a helicopter and it was fun and a little scary! we flew right into an extinct crater! I recommend that you wear dark clothes so they dont reflect on the glass windows of the copter. They will lend you a black shirt if you forget and put a polarizer on your DSLR it cuts the reflection! Soo peaceful, fun and beautiful! Seemed safe too!

Our family booked a helicopter for seven people for a Monday. It ended up being a crystal clear day. Everyone loved the experience and the kids especially benefited from learning all about the island. The kids also especially loved the music which accompanied the pilot's narrative. The people near the windows definitely have a viewing advantage over the people in the middle seats and there's no predicting where one will sit. It is all based on weight. All in all, a great experience that is worth the money esp. if you are lucky enough to snag a window seat. Very professionally run and very knowledgeable pilot.

This was a great tour and worth the money. We chose the more updated tour package, with the more up to date helicopter. There were 8 of us on board including the pilot. The pilot was very knowledgeable and told a lot of history about the island. We were able to see whales and go into a valley to see waterfalls. He also took us over the active volcano. Even through my husband was disappointed with the amount of lava flow that he saw, overall the trip was well worth the money spent.

We took the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour this morning and it was a spectacular experience! The entire operation was well organized,customer focused, and safety oriented. From calling to book, through purchasing our much anticipated DVD of the trip, everything was easy and convenient. The tour itself...priceless. Shea was our pilot and he did a FANTASTIC job describing the breathtaking sights. It was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Kauai.

After having 2 boat trips canceled due to rough waters we decided to book the helicopter. Called around a bunch of places, but Blue Hawaiian had the best reputation and reasonable price. There were companies that had cheaper, but found other ways to stiff you, or others that were far more $$. Excellent tour! Great views and pilot Geoffrey was very friendly and informative!! Would recommend! Got some amazing photos and the 50 minute flight with relaxing music seemed longer than it was.

I'm afraid of heights but had no trouble on this tour. It was actually quite smooth. Trip from Waikoloa to the waterfalls on the east side of the island take you over the Parker Ranch (over 100,000 acres), rural estates, and then to the wet side of the island. The waterfalls were flowing heavy, offering great photo ops. We also flew along the east side of the island and could see groups of waterfalls (several hundred feet tall) falling into the ocean. You just can't see these waterfalls from the ground and can't get as close in a boat. After the waterfalls, we flew back to the dry side of the island and viewed whales just off the coast. The tour offers a unique perspective of the island. I will note that you will be there viewing a safety video and waiting for about an hour prior to boarding your helicopter.

We enjoyed the ride and found seeing Kauai from the air was well worth the money. We took some spectacular photos and had a beautiful day for a flight. Mark was our pilot and he did a great job showing us the sights and flying very smoothly. We were in one of the newer helicopters and the bigger engine really made flying up and into the valleys almost seem easy. The flight was smooth and turbulent free. We would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian again.
