My husband and I experienced our first helicopter tour with these guys in Kauai, HI. Highly recommend a helicopter tour in Kauai as it is the best way to see the entire island. The views are truly amazing, takes your breath away. Well worth the price. If you only do a helicopter tour once, do it in Kauai. This helicopter tour co. was a great experience. Convenient check in spot at the Harbour Mall and quick shuttle ride to helipad at Lihue airport. Our pilot Nathan was great and informative on the views. DVD of tour available for purchase. Wear dark clothing to minimize reflection and improve photography. Seating is assigned based on weight of group, however, if interested in front seats beside pilot for best view, make the request when reserving online. Highly recommend Blue Hawaiian for your helicopter tour in Kauai!

Awesome scenery! A must do when visiting Kauai! Blue Hawaiian Helicopers was fantastic! The pilot was very informed and interesting.

Just went on my first Helicopter ride and it was better than I could imagine. Pilot Nathan did an amazing job showing us the island even though their was lots of rain. Well worth the money, will recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai.

My wife and I took the 55 minute helipcopter tour in Late february. The views from the air are spectacular. Our pilot Vince was highly skilled and did a great job. He informed us he used to be a flight training instuctor in the army for 20 years before this job. The majority of the island is not accessible by car so this is a way to see the cliffs of the Na Pali coast (the other being boats which bring tourists to the area when the surf is not too rough). There many valleys and waterfalls to see. One of the waterfalls was used in the filming of Jurassic Park .Blue Hawaiian also offers a tour option that includes a landing and photo op at the base of these falls (for extra $ of course) . Another waterfall is one that was seen at the beginning of episodes of "Fantasy Island") You also fly over and in Waimai canyon which rivals the badlands of Soth Dakota for sheer beauty. My wife is squamish when it comes to heights and she has said she'd do this again "in a heart beat". My experience is that the initial take off is a bit like an amusement park ride but after a minute or less it feels like you're driving 20 mph in a car and just gawking around. When your arrive you are weighed on a platform. For those that hates scales the results are visible only to the attendant. The seats are then assigned to a balance the copter. We had 6 passengers and the pilot on our cruise. I was assigned to the middle seat of the 2nd (back) row so I arguably had the most obstructed view and I had no problem getting a good view of everything. I also took a number of pictures - some of them are outstanding. During the trip there is a recording being taken which you can purchase on DVD or Blu-ray for $25 . We bought it and have shared it with some friends - seeing the video does the scenery more justice than we could describing it.

There is nothing I can say that hasn't been! I literally almost cried it was so amazing. Our pilot was Nate and the tour was incredible. He and the ground crew did an amazing job. They were a few people short the day we went but we wouldn't have even known it went so smooth. Don't grumble about the cost this is the ONLY way to see Kauai and worth every penny! They are an awesome customer based company and it shows. don't bother with a discount company go with the best! I will say if there is the remotest chance you could get motion sick please do your fellow passengers a favor and take something in advance.

This was the most amazing thing we did on the island! It was so beautiful. The pilot was great and the people in the office friendly and helpful.

We researched all the helicopter companies and chose BH. We are sure glad we did. The trip was fantastic! Safe, comfortable, informative and most of all, stuningly beautiful! We highly recomend Blue Hawaiian.

3 stars b/c it is average for a helicopter tour- but a helicopter tour of Kauai is a great experience. if you are OK w/ spending $200 for a helicoter ride, Kauai is the place to do it, and Blue Hawaiian did a nice job. I thought our pilot was a bit condescending.

We had a limited amount of time on Kauai and wanted to see as much of as we could so a helicopter tour seemed to be the answer. Blue Hawaian Helicopters had a good reputation and I had used them to tour Hilo. Our pilot, Nathan was great! His narrative was informing and entertaining and the choice of music was a wonderful addition to the beautiful scenery. Kauai has so many breathtakingly beautiful places to see and this tour covered them all. One of the other guests on our flight was afraid to fly and she said she was so amazed by the experience that she forgot all about her fear. I truly hope I can someday go back and take this ride again, once was not enough! Thank you Nathan and Blue Hawaiian!

My wife and I would suggest that you take a ride on Blue Hawaiian when you arrive on Kauai. This fantastic trip allows you to get a good perspective of the many sights of the Island and to plan your adventures with first hand knowledge. Our pilot, Nathan, was highly skilled and interested in pleasing the passengers. He flew through a double rainbow twice so we could see both ends of the rainbow. The ride was comfortable and scenic as we flew over canyons, mountain tops, beaches and waterfalls. This is our second trip with this company, and we highly recommend them.

To be honest, there are few things you can see or do on Kauai that will cost more than a trip on a Blue Hawaiian helicopter. However, in the same vein of honesty, I assure you that it is worth every penny. In a tourism-driven place like Hawaii, helicopter tours are a dime a dozen and many are very, very inexpensive. However, with such low fares I have to wonder how much money those companies invest in maintenance, safety and pilot training. There is no doubt with Blue Hawaiian as we were whisked into the air above Kauai in a state-of-the-art helicopter piloted by a 20-year veteran helicopter pilot with the U.S. Army. Needless to say, we were in safe hands. The tour lasted about an hour and included everything of Kauai you could imagine seeing. In truth, so much of the island is inaccessible by land so unless you take a helicopter tour, you'd be lucky to experience maybe 20% of Kauai. Blue Hawaiian takes you along the shoreline, weaves in and out of the Na Pali coast, cascades over waterfalls and into a dormant volcano crater and still has a few surprises up its sleeves. If you're visiting Kauai and even just considering taking a helicopter tour, don't hesitate and do it. Just make sure it's with Blue Hawaiian...

I recently visited Kauai and got to take a Blue Hawaiian ride. It was FANTASTIC! Loved the entire tour. Our pilot Brandyn was the best! He was great at explaining every sight. We saw whales and spinner dolphins! So beautiful. The music was awesome. Definitely recommend it! Would love to go again.

Jimmy was our pilot and I felt like I was in the hands of a true pro. The whole experience left me awestruck. There is simply no better way to see the 90% of Kauai that is just raw nature. I felt blessed to see the Na'pali coast, complete with a 360 degree rainbow, from the air. It's worth every penny!!

Blue Hawaiian is 1st class operation with phenomenal staff. Our pilot was Nate, with an extensive background of flying heavy helicopters in the National Guard. He really made the experience memorable with his knowledge of the island and interacting with everyone aboard. The views were amazing and was a great way to see the island within 1-hour. TIP - Try to do this on the first day or two of your vacation for 2 reasons: 1) You get a great idea of what areas to drive to and scope out further. 2) The weather can be a little unpredictable so if your flight gets canceled, you have plenty of time to rebook. There are several helicopter companies to book with - They are all probably about the same, however we were told and believe from our experience that Blue is hands-down, the best. The rest of the competition are probably close runner-ups. It's an expensive (approx $200) excursion but well worth it. Everyone had a huge smile on the face exiting the helicopter.

This tour of Kaua'i was absolutely amazing. It was such a thrill to see the beauty of the island from the air - it was breath taking beyond my wildest dreams. I would highly recommend it to anyone, don't miss it.
