From the reception area to the safety briefing and the flight, Blue Hawaiian is a very well organized and wonderful experience. Our pilot was highly qualified and did an excellent job of flying and narrating the trip. This is indeed the way to see Kauai.

This was supposed to be a 1 hour flight that went horribly wrong when the radio failed 15 minutes into the flight and the helicopter had to return to base, and our trip aborted. With such a heavy booking schedule, the company could not rebook us, and did not have another helicopter available. Despite numerous apologies & refunding our money, our flight was a huge disappointment, and the company not interested in our one & only opportunity to experience this flight over the craters. Thurston Lava Tubes on the Big Island Hawaii, well worth a visit. Walked the very accessible trail. lunch at Volcano House overlooking the Kilauea Caldera, Well situated restaurant, get a table near the large windows inside to watch the smoking volcano which is prone to spitting out large rocks, in the distance. Menu choices & prices good, and drinks purchased were bottomless. Highly recommend.

Thank you Jason for an amazing tour! You were not only a great pilot but an entertainer and history professor as well. Thank you for allowing us to ask you all kinds of questions and biting on our 8 year old's jokes! The close up volcano and lava, waterfalls, beaches and mountain views from the air were stunning. There's no way we would have had the time or been able to hike into these places with an 8 year old. We appreciated your humor and story on how you arrived on the island. It was so intriguing that we're now looking to create our own story to become locals as well! As first time helicopter riders, we were greatly impressed. Dark clothing is recommended for this tour to prevent glare from the windows. Jason was great about spending enough time at each photo spot and making sure each side of the aircraft got the same photo opportunities. The administrative and ground crews were all cheerful and helpful and it seemed everyone enjoyed the work they were doing which helps ease any reservations you may have. This trip was well worth the cost and time.

My wife and I came to Kauai for our honeymoon and we're told we had to do a helicopter tour while there. We were referred to Blue Hawaiian and had an amazing experience. Their operation is top-notch. True professionals with a emphasis on safety. Their entire staff is friendly and work hard to ensure the guests are satisfied. The ride itself was incredible. Words can't describe how thrilling it was to see the beautiful Garden Island from above. Looking down on areas otherwise inaccessible. I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian and would take a trip again the next time we're in Hawaii.

I believe when in Kauai, a helicopter tour is a given and this is a spectacular tour. Our pilot, Brody, made this special by speaking about his connection to Hawaii, especially Kauai. The views are beyond description and can only be experienced by air. You will see views that are truly breathless. The tour company assigns seats to balance the helicopter and all seats offer an excellent view. The entire staff was extremely helpful and professional and I would recommend this tour without reservation. Special thanks to Brody.

I'm not a fan of heights or flying but this tour was by far the coolest tourist thing I've done. Shay was great and put me at ease right away. Highly recommend.

Chose the Ecostar Helicopter for it's generous windows for viewing of the sights. Adolph (sp.) was an awesome pilot and very informative at pointing out the sights. We got great views of the current rift vent as well as the area where the lava was flowing into the ocean. Adolph was great at letting us know which way he was going into a turn, thus allowing his passengers to anticipate the turns. He would circle points of interest in multiple directions, offering everyone in the chopper an opportunity to see everything.

Our pilot Shay was very good. Has a calming voice. We saw all of the helicopter sites and he made sure to turn around at each of them. Lots of info about the island. If we had time we'd do it again.

My wife and I took a helicopter ride with these folks about a month ago and it was awesome! My wife was a little anxious about it, but once we got in the air and Scott explained that he had flown Black Hawks in the service, she calmed right down. We thoroughly enjoyed the hour in the air viewing the awe-inspiring beauty of Kauai. There are moments that will take your breath away; the waterfalls alone are spectacular. It's pricey to do this but it's worth every penny. You won't regret it.

We just finished this helicopter tour of Kauai. It was amazing. We got a look at our cruise ship then into the valleys to Waimea Canyon. We saw the areas used for the Jurassic Park movies, Avatar, and many more. We flew along the Na'Pali (sorry don't know the correct spelling) Coast. So many breath taking views. This tour is so worth the time and money. Our pilot and guide (Greg) was great. So personable. We will definitely do this again when we get back to Kauai.

Having not done this before we did not know what to expect. The ground crew were very informative and friendly. The pilot was fabulous (I believe Shay, a former pilot with oil & gas industry) explaining all the points of interest while providing a really smooth ride. I am sure the weather played a big factor though. We were able to go to the top of the mountains as we were provided a window with no clouds. THIS WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. If you do nothing else in Kauai do not hesitate and miss this. Thank you for helping make our trip outstanding.

We met people at the hotel who insisted we go on this tour and i'm SO glad we spent the $ to go. Fantastic. Beautiful. Awe-inspiring. From the valleys to the unreachable coastlines to inside a volcano, every view was more awesome than the last. Beth, our pilot, was fabulous providing detailed information about the island, a great soundtrack in the background and a safe/comfortable ride. Blue Hawaiian is the way to go.

What a fantastic way to see the island! The scenery is absolutely stunning, the pilot was knowledgeable and friendly, as were the ground staff. Well worth splashing out for this tour!

We had a terrific ride in the sky over Kauai seeing shorelines, waterfalls, mountains, canyons, and inside the great crater in the middle of the island. Many sites can not be seen without days of hiking and some are spectacular in different ways from the air. Our first trip was cancelled due to weather but we had a much better day the next morning and the cancellation showed that they put safety first. Recommend planning ahead just in case this happens to you. Oh, and the pilot was great! Very friendly and funny.

Good: Super comfy copter, very organized, friendly staff. Not so good: It's turbulent, but once you get used to it, it's fine. The Na Pali coast is breathtaking.
