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.

This was an exceptionally great experience - well worth the cost and well worth the time. We booked through the Grand Hyatt for the last flight of the day (4pm). Check in was about 45 minutes before the flight and went smoothly. The helicopters appeared to be the newest on the field and had the most glass to afford good views from all seats. I was surprised that there wasn't more of a security check - no metal detectors or xray machines at all. Not anything like what you encounter at airports. We were encouraged to wear dark tops so that there wouldn't be a reflection in the glass windows (especially when photos were taken). Vincent was our capable pilot and put us at ease immediately. The ride was at least an hour long and we saw magnificent places that we never would have seen any other way. The entire island is the most beautiful place I have seen yet in my travels, especially the canyon and the Na'Pali coast. We were even able to see the mountain peak which is usually covered in clouds and shadows of whales in the water. Some of the whales even flapped their tail fins at us - just like they were waving hello. This helicopter tour was one of the high points of our trip to Hawaii. I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

Went on a Sunday morning flight at 8 a.m. They were professional and on time. Our pilot, Brandon, narrated the sights but didn't talk nonstop which was nice. It was a little cloudy/hazy during our flight but we still saw everything. Views of Na Pali coast and Waimea Canyon were highlights. Brandon would swing around so both sides of the chopper could see. Even saw whales in the ocean. Very cool experience and well worth the money.
