We took a helicopter tour of Kauai on our honeymoon last week and it was awesome. Only about 25% of Kauai can be viewed by driving. Barrett our pilot was very nice and informative. Our trip was a little hazy due to the weather but we still saw everything we wanted to see. We saw many waterfalls including the one from Jurassic Park, NaPali Coast, Waimea Canyon, etc. Wish it was a little longer but overall a great tour. The company is very professional.
Recently took a helicopter tour of Kauai, Blue Hawaiian was the company. Very easy to deal with. The pilot was excellent, and made us feel very comfortable.
The helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian was one the best activities we did in our trip to Hawaii. It is expensive, but this island can't be fully enjoyed without this beautiful view from above. Blue Hawaiian has a great helicopter, with large interior and windows. We were fortunate to sit in the front, but our friends that sat on the back also loved the ride. Their location is very nice and service was pretty good. Our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. He also added a local taste to the tour, commenting based on his experience being born and raised in the island. The only thing to worry about is the weather - it is very unpredictable and could impact the views, but a little planning (and luck) will make the experience unforgettable.
This was a spur of the moment decision, but we did it and I am so glad we did. We saw so much more of the island than you could ever try to see by car. More waterfalls and breath taking landscapes, tight tucks and drops in to the most best picturesque views of the whole island. The coast line was spectacular and the only other way to see it was by boat, but the seas were rough so this is by far the best way. Large quiet helicopters with really good pilots. Splurge and do it! You won't regret it.
Don't think about this. Don't hesitate. Don't listen to people. It will be an experience of a lifetime. We were assigned seats in the front with the pilot which means that the floor is glass...This is a fantastic way to see the island. It was our first time in a helicopter which made the excursion all the more sensational / scary. Just do it - swoosh ... um, that was the wind blowing through the helicopter blades as you go out over the ocean.
Don't leave Kauai without taking a helicopter ride over the most beautiful island of all. So much to see that can only be seen from. The air. Money very well spent!
First time in a helicopter! You are truly missing out viewing Kauai if you don't take a helicopter ride. Blue Hawaiian did an excellent and professional job. It was fun, but not at the expense of safety. Our pilot did an effective job at narrating what we were seeing and was a pro. If you do this, I would encourage you to take the flight early in your stay in order to get the literal "big picture" of the island.
Doesn't describe it. This tour is amazing. Our pilot captain brad was impressive. The narration and knowledge are beyond anything we expected. My husband is a pilot and is still talking about how Brad talked, flew and talks to the tower. We did this on our first day as suggested. It is a great way to get to know the island,,,,, Don't hesitate at all...... Book it and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my first helicopter ride and Blue Hawaiian raised my expectations bar all the way to the top for any trip that follows. State of the art helicopters, knowledgeable pilots and awesome views. Great way to see the island. Rainbows in Waimea Canyon were breathtaking. Would recommend spending the extra dollars for this fabulous experience.
This was so worth the extra cost, because it was a private helicopter ride and you were guaranteed the great views. The pilot was excellent and professional. This was a 55 minutes ride but felt longer. We lucked out with the weather, too. One of the highlights was going into the crater and going along the Na Pali coast.
This company is first class, professional, and makes the passenger confident throughout the flight. Beautiful views of rugged Kauai that can be experienced in no other way.
Learned about BHH in a travel guide for Maui, but author so loved this tour group and this mountain. I see why. Worth every (steep) penny, but only way to see what you will see. Our pilot was Michael, very nice. After awhile, we all stopped talking.. breathtaking views overtook us. Stick with BHH, other helicopter agencies looked much smaller and less professional.
Got my daughter and wife up in a helicopter tour of Kauai. When they landed they could not stop talking about how great it was, about the beautiful the Na Pali coast and Wai Mea valley, etc. I did not go on he flight because I am a military helicopter pilot and get to see Hawaii daily from the air. I trust Blue Hawaii to fly my family
Flew with Marty on the 28th of October and had a great time! What a great way of seeing the island that you a visiting. This was our 2nd time flying with Blue Hawaiian (flew in Oahu in December of 2012) Marty was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the people of the island….(or pulled off a great sham (jk) and had a great sense of humor. Experience last about an hour and a half beginning with preflight instruction thru the 45 minute flight. Great time, extremely qualified and professional, from the staff to their equipment all the way down to their building – highly recommend the trip with Blue Hawaiian – well worth every penny. PS make sure you wear dark color so you don’t see your reflection in your pictures!
Well worth a trip. Friendly staff and a pilot who knew all about the island... A must do experience and we were glad we picked this company we couldn't fault the service at all
