We took the Big Island Spectacular tour. The highlight of the flight was looking into the lava lake at the Pu'u O'o eruption vent! We consider this tour a MUST DO activity!

I won't go on and on about how incredible it is to see Oahu from the air because I can't say anything that hasn't been said before. But it certainly is incredible (photos here: http://bit.ly/gIiWEX). What I do want to share is our experience with Blue Hawaiian. The day we were supposed to have our tour was overcast, and the company called me to let me know it was possible they wouldn't go out. The pilots gave the ok, however, so we were picked up by the shuttle. On our way there, it clouded over, and our trip was canceled. Our shuttle driver offered to drop us off in downtown Honolulu or back at our hotel, our choice, and gave us advice regarding when to reschedule (he suggested morning rather than afternoon). We were impressed with his disposition to improve what could have felt like a wasted morning. We were even more impressed when we discovered in conversation that he was the manager of the company driving the shuttle because the normal driver was out sick. It's always nice when the big bosses aren't "above" doing more basic tasks to fulfill their duties to a customer. When we eventually did have our tour, customer service continued in the same vein. We would happily tour with them on another island in the future.

We had an amazing experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters in Kauai! First off the operation is truly exceptional and professional. These people know what they are doing and you feel safe the entire time. I am afraid of heights, but I did not feel uncomfortable at all- not even one time. I did research beforehand and their helicopters really are the best on the island, and this was confirmed when we actually did the tour. Everyone has a great view (and I was in the back middle seat) and the helicopter noise was at a minimum. Our pilot, Vince, was also exceptional, charismatic and a true professional. He made the trip so enjoyable for us as a pilot and tour guide sharing great information, getting us amazing views and also acknowledging our honeymoon. After the tour you can purchase an optional DVD of the flight and we did, plus we also got a high definition DVD “generic tour” of all the islands of Hawaii they provide- which is highly informative and also a great keepsake. Everything about this tour, company and our experience was true class. Highly recommended. A must do while visiting Kauai.

Before we even left the ground, the kindness and detail to safety that the Blue Hawaiian Staff showed us was so reassuring that we knew we were in great hands. Our pilot was Chris..... what can we say..... HE WAS AMAZING!!!! Chris has away of putting you at ease once you get on the helicopter, we knew we were going to have a great time. The information Chris shared about Kauai made the trip one that will last a life time. Definitely the best time we had on the island. Highly recommend for views of Hawaii that you cannot see from the ground. Thank you Chris and Blue Hawaiian Tours for the best hour of our lives.

We normally don't book these extravagant attractions, but as anyone on Kauai will tell you, you can only see 25% of Kauai from the ground. This trip was incredible and we would certainly do it again. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is not the cheapest, no the most expensive company, but the customer service with this company is tremendous. The pilot speaks to you by name during the flight and answers questions freely. They do offer military and Kama Aina discounts. They also sell a video of your entire flight. When I first was told of this, I assumed that they would charge something extreme, like $75, but another pleasant surprise, it was only $25. I would say this is a must activity if you visit Kauai

Awesome helicopter tour! Our pilot was an excellent guide, describing the history surrounding the sites we viewed. In addition, over specific sites, the pilot turned the helicopter so that riders on both sides could see. My tour lasted 45 minutes, and I was able to purchase the video of my tour, as well. I came away with a much better appreciation and love for the island. And that nifty video, too!

We really enjoyed our flight. We had never travelled on a helicopter before but it was quite smooth and the pilot was very good. We enjoyed the sights and commentary and it really gave us a good overview to the island. Negatives were the fact that we couldn't see some of the places as were on the other side of the craft and he didn't turn it enough ..we missed part of the Pearl Harbour memorial which was really disappointing. Our advice is to try to get the front seats then you see everything! It is expensive but we thought it suited our time frame.

Our pilot was Michael, he was superb! Funny & very entertaining, as well as quite knowledgeable! We had the BEST time!

A class outfit all the way.  On time pick up, straightforward and not over the top safety briefings but mostly the helicopter.  I have been in a few helicopters before but the Eco Star is nothing but pure comfort.  This activity may be a pricey option for some, if you can afford it splash out, you won't regret it.  

Please give yourself a treat. It was wonderful! Our pilot Julie was really good. She is a very good pilot. She was excellent as a tour guide. She told us exactly what we would see. I would recomend this flight!

I called this morning to see if there would be a way to fit in the Oahu helicopter trip on the way to the airport for my next flight. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters were completely accommodating, the booking process was easy, I was on hold for a brief time while a few details were confirmed. Picked up from hotel exactly on time, the stowed my bag and dropped to the airport. Very professional operation. The do mention on website and over phone to wear dark clothing, two pax wore white so it was hard to take photos with the white shirts reflected in the windows - not the company's fault!

I was somewhat apprehensive in taking a helicopter flight as I had never done so before. No need to worry- Blue Hawaiin is very professional in all regards. Safety is taken seriously & our pilot Michael was a pro. We felt like we were floating above The Garden of Eden. As you pass over lush canyons, waterfalls & along the Na Pali Coast, Kauai's beauty unfolds before your eyes. Most of us were muttering how unbelievable the views were & at times we were speechless. Yes a feast for the eyes!

This was the 1st time either of us has flown in a helicopter or had a tour like this. Pricy, but it was amazing. We both had a great time. The only negative was that the back seat holds 4 people in the helicopter we had, which could mean that two don't get a window seat. My wife sat there and still had a great time. Our pilot was Michael, and was fun for the whole flight. The views from the flight are spectacular, and Kauai is said to be the best island to take the aerial tours.

This place is great. Pilot Chris (son of pilot Craig, who looks like Walter White) is great. Mrs. Tikimark was somewhat nervous about he first helicopter ride, but Chris is so great as both a pilot and a calm, cool, tour guide she was quickly enjoying herself. Kauai is an amazing place and seeing by helicopter - especially from a great company like Blue Hawaii is something you shouldn't miss

Flying with Blue Hawaiian will definitely be one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Barrett was an amazing pilot and tour guide. Highly recommend this trip!
