Third time is a charm. Flight cancelled twice due to poor visability. Although we were disappointed, grateful not to waste money looking at clouds. Saw other copter companies doing tours, or heard the copters but couldn't see due to clouds. Such a professional, accomadating company, from front desk staff to the pilots. Our pilot was Vincent who was a 20 year flight instructor for military. Loved that since it helped us feel so secure. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The soothing music playing throughout our tour helped add to the ambiance and calm the nerves. So worth it since in Kauai 90% of island is not developed and only way to see. Don't let the rain deter you. We took off in a mini shower and other sides of the island were very visible. The rain made so many more amazing waterfalls and rainbows. The office is located in a little plaza near airport. A few restaurants and little gift shops are in the area. Pretty central. A video of your personal tour is available as each copter has 4 cameras for $25. We bought it; only a ten minute wait while they copy the DVD. They have an interior camera as well with audio, so you can see yourselves at times and hear your actual flight and questions. A reasonable price for a once in a lifetime event. Book online for a discounted price, you can still move flight within 24 hours or cancel. Not really expensive for a 45 minute flight compared to the other pricey tings to do on the island. I had an interior seat, but due to so many glass windows, still amazing views. Very effecient and safety minded company. Highly recommend!

My wife and I cruised on Princess cruise lines Ocean Princess from the South Pacific to Hawaii for our babymoon last year. For our excursion in Kauai we opted for the helicopter tour. My wife and I had never been on a helicopter before so we(meaning me) had some apprehension going with her being 6 months pregnant. The ride was smooth as can be and I am so glad we did it. You truly get a different appreciation for the beauty of the island from above. Definitely recommend a helicopter tour of this island. I'd recommend Blue Hawaiian tours specifically. We had paid for a DVD of the tour but forgot to pick it up(I will attribute this to sympathetic pregnancy brain). I called them about a month later and they went ahead and sent us our copy. Very impressed by this level of customer service.

We booked the tour online. The process was easy and we received a confirmation with the flight time shortly after. We arrived in the office on the date of the flight. The weather was not great, but was not terrible either. It was cloudy with some rain I Lihue. We were measured and then given a security briefing. Our pilot was Scott. He was professional, knowledgable and entertaining. He had an aura of confidence about him that would ease anyone who is nervous. Our flight path took us to see the south shore of Poipu, then the jurassic park falls, waimea canyon. We got to fly inside the canyon, which was amazing. Then we flew through a cloud of rain to the Napali coast. Just a spectacular scene. We got back after an hour with a taste of much more.

We had gorgeous weather for our flight and views did not disappoint. Our pilot was Barrett, a local, and was very knowledgeable. Was neat when he pointed out where he was raised and use to hunt etc when he was growing up. Too many fantastic views to list but highlight for us included Waimea Canyon, Na Pali coast and all the great waterfalls. If you think you have seen all of Kauai and haven't seen it from the air, do yourself a favor and take a trip as I am sure you will so much that you have missed. Thanks Barrett for a great and very memorable flight.

I took a Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour with my 75-year-old mother this March about eight years after first riding with the company on Kauai. Once again, the experience was excellent. Our pilot was a veteran of two overseas wars, and it was immediately clear that he had a total mastery of the aircraft: delicately navigating us in and out of the amazing aprons of the Napali coast, between waterfalls, and around the wettest part of the island. Despite flying on an overcast day, our pilot made sure our views were unblocked by clouds, and quite spectacular. The only disappointment was that the DVD recording of our flight did not record properly. Otherwise, excellent.

First thing most of us (who aren't wealthy) consider is the cost. Some people pay only a little more for their airfare to reach the island itself, after all. In short: YES, it is worth the price, even if you only do one helo trip in your life, do it in Lihue, request Brandyn as your pilot, and say "hi" to Brian for me. You will understand why so many movies have been made in these regions of the island accessible only by sea or air once you fly over them. Very safe and smooth; they cancelled several trips prior due to unsafe weather conditions so they are very careful. Go! See this amazing part of the world from the point of view of a bird!

Kauai location- incredible island views but big company thus less personal service.... Pilot quite competent but poor attitude, replied to honest, intelligent questions with snide answers.

We did the 8:30 am flight today with Erik. It was our first time taking a helicopter ride and I have to say it was great! Rick is sensitive to motion sickness but had no issues. I was a bit worried as it was foggy at our hotel but we got to see everything on the itinerary quite clearly! It really showed how spectacular Kauai is and I didnt realize just how many movies have neen filmed here! Erik was a pro at the controls and was knowledge about the island as he has been here for 30 years! I very highly recommend this!!!

This helicopter tour was spectacular! So amazingly to see all the most inaccessible areas of Kauai. Incredible views and a great pilot. He was very knowledgeable about the island and his love of it showed clearly. I'm so sorry I cannot remember his name. I would definitely sing his praises. The bus driver was also helpful and nice. Customer service is very efficient and very friendly. My guide book recommended this company over the others and I'm so glad I used them. I do recommend booking online and doing so early. I think 5 days in advance is required but you get a nice online discount.

There are quite a few competitors out there, but Blue Hawaiian beats them all in my opinion with their excellent service. Their pilots are also experienced as well as knowledgeable. The best seats are obviously the front 2, but if you do get placed in the back, you will still have very good views. We have taken 2 of their tours (Kauai and Big Island) and both were amazing. I recommend that you don't take any chances with other tours as you are pretty much guaranteed to have an excellent experience with Blue Hawaiian.

We have done Blue Hawaiian on some other islands and they are always top notch. I definitely recommend if visiting Hawaii.

Smooth ride & stunning views. What an amazing experience and great way to see inaccessible parts of the island! Great pilot instilled confidence right from the start.

This was not to be missed. Our pilot had been flying for over 30 years. We had previously done a helicopter tour a few years ago in Maui that made us all sick. This flight was so smooth everyone was fine. We got to see the entire island including lots of movie spots from Jurassic Park etc. The helicopter was well maintained and air conditioned (very important on a hot day). This is one of the best ways to see the North Shore.

LOVED our tour with Blue Hawaiian. Get Nate as your pilot if possible. Take the 4pm tour if you can. We loved this combo (Nate and 4pm, lol) because the sun was just setting, beautiful views, and he was a very adept pilot (used to be in the military). Don't eat before if you don't want to get motion sickness! Absolutely beautiful, scenic views - covers everything you would want to see on the island, in my opinion.

Rode over Kauai with Darryl. I can not put into words how wonderful this trip was. The scenery was indescribable and Darryl made our trip so enjoyable. Also, thanks to Brian who took such good care of us and thanks again for serving our country.
