My husband booked this as a surprise when we were in Kona a couple of weeks ago. As others have said, the Big Island is stunning and I was a bit overwhelmed at the entire experience. Greg "Go" was a great pilot/tour guide and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour. It was great that we could communicate with him when we had questions. We had a bit of rain, but he went around it and with the rain, came MANY rainbows and we were blessed to see full circle and double full circle rainbows. Go said he was going to rename our tour " the rainbow tour". His music and song selections really added to the trip. I won't spoil it, but the movie theme song ROCKED and was the prefect song to start the trip with! The music really set the tone....giving both excitement and tranquility. The volcanos, waterfalls, shoreline, macadamia trees, small towns, Hilo....all wonderful to see from that perspective. Thank you, Go for such an amazing morning. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii!

Going to Hawai'i has always been my dream and it finally came true for my 30th birthday. After being disappointed with many of things and I truly mean many of things. The last day there I decided I wasn't leaving without seeing the true Hawai'i I've always dreamed of and boy was it totally worth it! From the time we were picked up from our hotel to the time we were dropped off Shawn was so accommodating and personal with all of us on our ride. Our pilot Jeanette totally rocked man! She must truly love her job! We just had to ask about her, as she knew so much information and showed us basically everything there was to do on the island. I'm so thankful I made the choice to fly with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters (Oahu) as it made my whole trip worthwhile and meaningful. I can only hope someone else will be as Blessed as we were to have Shawn and Jeanette make their dreams come true also. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for making my dream come true!

I am telling everyone that it is a must do activity when you visit Hawaii. It's the only way to see all the beauty of the island. We took 2 helicopter tours. One on Kauai and one on Kona. Both were spectacular! The canyons, volcanos and water falls were breathtaking! Marlin at the front desk was very helpful. Marty and Shane our Pilots were very experienced and knowledgeable. I would recommend not taking pictures or videos and just enjoy the experience because they sell the video of your flight. I bought the video for each flight I took. The video is professional because the cameras are on gyros so there is no movement in the video. It records everything that is said so you hear all about what you are seeing and it's all set to music. I have been playing it for friends when they come over and they love it.

From the very beginning this experience has us at hello. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a wonderful pilot named Mark who we felt very safe with. He gave us amazing views from all sides and a great narration of what we were seeing I highly recommend This team. Oh and as a bonus, after we got home and I went thru my pictures I found this amazing photo of a face in the Napali coastal area. What a gift. Thank you!!

Superb tour! Excellent pilot/tour guide. This is a top-notch operation with no detail overlooked. I really liked the narration provided on headsets during the flight which included music as you fly over all the interesting sites. Close ups of the waterfalls, volcanoes, and other significant sites made the two hour trip seem to be over in a snap! I loved the final approach to the airport as the music was "Ol Sachmo" singing "It's a Wonderful Life."

This was really a trip of a lifetime!!!!! Loved every minute of it!!! This was on mom's bucketlist, first time in a helicoptor, didn't know what to expect and was so very well surprized and pleased. Really from start to finish all were very professional, kind and informative, answered all of our silly questions (I bet you get them all the time). Just beware the little platform at the counter ...it's a scale holy moly the weight you put on while vacationing lol. Just was a little shocked after paying over $860.00 for 4 people that the photo plaque was not included.

I just got back from a 48 day cruise to Hawaii and the South Pacific. Our helicopter tour was one of the highlights of our entire cruise! Everyone was exceptionally professional and courteous and did everything to make our experience unforgettable. Our pilot, Ethan was fantastic. He made sure all of us got amazing pictures of the lava fields, craters, lava and also the forests and waterfalls. We loved Ethan! I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian for a trip within a trip that is truly wonderful.

Highly recommend- book for the start of your trip in case you have to reschedule due to weather- easy to reschedule for future dates. Best way to familiarize yourself with the island as well!

Highly recommend this for anyone. I know all of the pilots are great, but I can't imagine any could be better than Eric. He was knowledgeable, personable and assuring. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny!

I never knew how beautiful a helicopter tour could be . I took my boyfriend for his birthday and he is homebody . He big guy too but they where able to accommodate us. We had a great pilot and fell extremely safe . Pictures don't do it justice.

Well worth the money, even on a rainy day. Loved the tour and would do it again. Everyone involved in in the tour was pleasant, from the pilot to the shuttle driver. Great time??!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter: Kauai ECO Adventure tour. Felt this was the best outfit to use after researching the other outfits which are probably fine but his one uses the ECO Star helicopters and pricing was the same or less. Given the rainy weather during our stay in Kauai, I wasn't sure on the experience. There were a lot of clouds & mist but once the helicopter got close enough you could see all these waterfalls all over the place that you normally would not see so that was impressive in itself. There was a lot of water on the windows but it beaded off quickly enough that you can still see. Turns out that the Waimea and the Na'pali coast was clear enough that we got great views of those areas. I was fortunate to have a front seat so I could see almost see everything, but the pilot made sure to turn the helicopter around enough so passengers on both sides could see the good stuff. I did not find the helicopter noise an issue once the comfy headphones were in place. I could hear everyone very well and it was two way communication with the pilot. Theme music filled the gaps. $40 video is of good quality and sure there is some raindrops on the lens during the wet parts but it was still viewable and what these cameras captured in flight is hard to beat with your own handheld camera. Boarding procedures were smooth and professional. I had very good customer service with booking and questions answered as I had concerns about seating. Even though I missed the window to use their online discount I snagged an AAA discount when I phoned to book. I would recommend this outfit to people and we would use them again.

An absolute must do when on the island of Kauai! Our pilot, Beth was awesome and weather permitted a flight into the crater of Mount Wai'ali'ali which even in a light rain was awe inspiring.

We hesitated spending the money for this extra trip (family of four, 13 yr old boy, 10 yr old daughter and two parents in the 40's). But since this was bucket list item that we needed to check, we were excited to make the investment. Totally well worth it. Our pilot was a calm, cool character who is an island native named Brody. Brody had a ton of knowledge that he shared as he navigated through canyons and dipped down the coast... It was awe inspiriting and even our 13 yr old son said that he got teary eyed as the Napali coast came into view. The cathedrals were just amazing and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Our whole family had a blast. The only way to see this beautiful garden paradise.

Well, it is expensive. But, this is an absolute to do activity. The pilot Scotty took us around entire garden island, Kauai. We could see plenty of water falls around Napali coast along the lust green rainforest. Our pilot was very courteous and was explaining many aspects about the landscape, locations where movies where taken. He even took us to a crater where it was surrounded with cascaded waterfalls. Only thing I can lament about is, he did not take us near Jurassic falls as we just went over it.
