We decided we wanted to see the island from the air so we could see into the volcanoes and visit some of the more remote areas. We enjoyed it very much. The pilot was well informed and took the time to fly over the important areas in both directions so everyone got a good look at lava and waterfalls. It was a little pricey, which would be my only criticism, but the road around the island is long and slow and full of traffic, and this was a perfect way to see all the ecosystems. I'm so glad we did this. You just can't see everything any other way.

Although I think Blue Hawaiian is one of the top notch tour companies, I can't say the tour over the volcano was exciting. I found it interesting, but wish there was a little more activity

We have taken helicopter tours in various places throughout the US. While we were on Hawaii we did a tour in Oahu and Maui both on blue Hawaiin. We had an amazing time on both trips. This place is a class act and wish they had locations all over the world!

If you are coming to Hawaii and only have the time or the budget to do one activity I strongly recommend that you take a helicopter tour with this company!! We took our first helicopter tour on Oahu today and it exceeded our hopes and expectations. They truly care about the satisfaction of their customers and the employees are very friendly, professional and welcoming! Thank you to our pilot Julie, she took the time to wish our son a happy birthday during the tour and was very informative and friendly. Their helicopters are very comfortable to ride in with great views and air-conditioning. Julie made us feel safe and comfortable during our flight and we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful tour. Thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours! We'll be back.

We had an awesome flight on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters out of Oahu on Friday, October 24, 2014! We had previously flown with Blue out of Kauai last September, which was just as wonderful! Both the Ground Crew, and our fantastic Pilot, Julie, helped make for another outstanding experience on Blue Hawaiian! This is a first-class outfit in every way, and we would not fly on any other helicopter when in Hawaii! Worth every cent! PS Don't forget to ask for Julie - she is great!

This was a very tremendous experience and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the island of Oahu from the air was great. I would recommend this for anyone visiting the island.

The views are just incredible. There's only ONE WAY to see the island, and that's by helicopter. Our pilot Geoff was a wonderful tour guide. He made sure to point out all the areas of interest and answered any and all questions we had. We'd looked at several companies and were impressed by the size of Blue Hawaiian's helicopters and their pilots backgrounds. Most flew combat and have continued with it since returning. If they can fly in a hostile environment and land every time, that's good enough for me.

It is a great way to see the pretty Kauai. We had a great safe 50 min trip with Brody. We see the beautiful Napali coast and many many water falls (including the one featured in Jurassic Park movie). You won't be disappointed. Oh a big thank to previous reviewers about Costco gift cards. If you want to save money, book online 5 days in advance (to knock off $15-$20 pp which we didn't do since we want to go on the day with nice weather, can't predict that far in advance during rainy season) and stop by Costco (in lihue) to pick up couple Blue Hawaiian gift cards ($100 value for $80).

After touring by car we decided we needed to go on a helicopter tour. I had never been on a helicopter before this trip. It was a smooth and awesome experience!

Do this if you do anything! This is a superb way to see the whole island. I would do this tour first thing in the morning then make your day plan based on what you see from the air. Our tour was on a windy partly cloudy day. Once in the air you don't notice the wind and the view from every seat is good. If you are a camera nut you must have a window seat, otherwise any seat is just fine. Those of you with a fear of heights should not be concerned unless you arrived in Hawaii by ship. There is no sensation of height like you get standing close to the edge of a balcony. I am a balcony coward and I know ! Nothing to fear here, but 'fear itself'. Just keep calm and carry on. You will really enjoy the beauty of this island like no other, especially the Na Pali coastline !! Do it !! Spend some $ 200 + each for the ride of a lifetime !

Absolutely breathtaking. The views were stunning. This is a highly trained and skilled company. I always felt safe. Our pilot, Shay, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a MUST DO in Kauai. It was a very surreal experience.

All of the staff were wonderful! We had a wonderful flight, saw so much beauty and our pilot loved to tell us about everything we were seeing. After landing, we were greeted at the door as we removed our safety packs with a cool scented washcloth to wash our face and hands. What a lovely thing! I would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian.

On our helicopter tour we saw everything from the Na Pali Coast, to Hanalei, to the Waimea Canyon and more. The flight lasted about 90 minutes, and the pilot was terrifically knowledgeable about all we were seeing. The helicopter was extremely comfortable with large windows so we could see everything. Seeing the terrain of Kauai from the air was a wonderful experience -- one I highly recommend! Budget 2 or 3 hours to accommodate the preparatory talk you will need to hear, the tour itself, and time afterward to see the film of your tour taken by Blue Hawaiian.

Booked the helicopter tour as a gift for my wife while we were in Kauai. We were joined by 2 friends, one who is afraid of heights and one who doesn't like to fly and this was our first time in a helicopter for the 4 of us. From the time we checked in, we knew that this was a very professional company. Everything was top notch. After our safety demonstration we got to board the EcoStar with Captain Marty and we headed off on an incredible adventure. The flight was smooth and effortless thanks to Marty's excellent flying skills, the views were absolutely breathtaking and Marty was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. Never once, did any of us feel the least bit uncomfortable in during the flight. This is the only way to see the true beauty of Kauai. If you are thinking about booking a helicopter adventure, book Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. If you are nervous our unsure of the flight, don't be. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and Captain Marty will make sure you are comfortable, safe, and have the flight of your life!

Had a 2hr flight to two volcanos, Hilo, and amazing valleys with astounding waterfalls! Thanks for the experience.
