Aloha!!! This was quite simply one of the best experiences I have ever done!!! We did it close to the end of our holiday and it was a great way to see the trip out :) Its a really gentle flight with so much to see... Our pilot (Loren) was awesome, great sense of humor, really relaxed and along with all the other staff this couldn't have been easier... A great experience, highly recommended... Thanks Guys, Olli & Dani :)
Very safety conscious, only way to properly see lava. It's a long drive from Kona but worth it and we were cancelled the first booking and had to return. Kids loved it, worth the money.
This tour left me speechless. Our pilot, Mark, was excellent. Our group all agreed that it was our favorite shore excursion. Worth every penny!
Fantastic experience - loved the views, loved our pilot's narration, loved the soundtrack! There is no other way to see the real beauty of this island. I highly recommend it.
This was a dream come true. For 30 years we had dreamed of taking a trip to hawaii. We had an amazing ride in the front seat as Marty flew us over all the beautiful places in Kauai. It was breath taking. He gave us a lot of information as we traveled over magnificent water falls and beautiful waimea canyon. Napoli coast line is one of the most beautiful spots. If you want to see Kauai, I would highly recommend taking a flight with blue hawaii helicopters. It was great!
One word - AWESOME!! I was really nervous before we took off, but it was like we were gliding in the air. Chris was a great pilot and so informative. I would recommend Blue Hawaii to anyone that comes to Kauai!! I will never forget this experience!
We took the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour on Kauai and was not disappointed. This was our first time in a helicopter and we were extremely excited. Everything was perfect. The team who prepped us were very friendly and thorough. The pilot was knowledgeable of the area and made you feel extremely safe. Of course, the awe inspiring beauty of the Island simply overwhelms you. The soundtrack was perfect as we flew over breathtaking scenery. After landing, the staff gladly took pictures of us in front of the helicopter. When I look back on our 30th anniversary trip to the Islands, this tour will stand out as the best experience. For anyone considering this....do it! Also..we were in the back seat and still had perfect views.
The flight was lovely - but the pilot Brandon was a jerk. He has some bone to pick with women. He told a honeymoon couple on our flight that the groom should be prepared for anything to happen. Just as you are sure everything is OK with your woman, she will turn on you! He also refused to shake my hand (I am a woman) claiming that he didn't like touching people. But purposely reached out to shake hands with the guys on the trip. Only fly with him if you are a dude!
Epic! That is what comes to mind when I think of our Blue Hawaiian Tour. My husband and I loved every minute of our flight. Barrett, our pilot was very informative and for someone who is afraid of heights he put any concerns at ease. We were able to see parts of Kauai that no one can see unless taking this tour. Computers generate the seating arrangements based on weight and luckily we were able to sit right up front, but even being in the back everyone gets an awesome view and tour. Blue Hawaiian staff was so accommodating with rescheduling our flight due to Hurricane Ana that blew on by and everyone was extremely friendly from the phones, checking in/out and the pilot. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone (even all the chickens out there like myself).
My wife and I took the 2 hour tour that goes along the coast and over Kilauea. The waterfalls and the north coast of the big island are just gorgeous. The volcanic stuff is terrific and frankly lava flows from the air are probably the most likely way anybody can view them. However, the north coast views top them....just beautiful. Greg was our pilot and he was a delight. His patience with a 7 year old (another family) was wonderful to behold. He tried very hard to include everybody in the experience and made sure everybody got a good view regardless of where there were seated in the helicopter. We were in the A Star, which was fine. The waiting area was comfortable, with cold water and soft cushioned benches. We were greeted on our arrival back with cold towels to freshen up. We didn't purchase the DVD of our trip as I had already taken a lot of video, but we previewed a bit and it showcases the passengers inside the helicopter, so that would be a good keepsake for many.
We completely enjoyed our helicopter tour over Oahu. We could see everything easily and our pilot was very friendly and engaging. The ride was easy and comfortable. We saw so many cool sights in a short time. Highly recommended.
Our pilot was Marty and he made our trip!! The views were amazing! If you don't do anything else while you are in Kauai, you should not miss this! They run a top notch operation. Very safe! I am scared to death of heights and never was I uncomfortable. THANK YOU MARTY for sharing you knowledge about this beautiful island with us. I highly recommend this tour and will spread the word! :)
Barrett was born and raised in kauai and he will tell you all about his beautiful Island, where to go and what to do !!! he is the best! Mahalo Barrett \m/
We debated about whether to take the ride over the volcanoes area on the Big Island or see the Kohala Coast. We picked the latter and were not disappointed. Beautiful area which can only be seen by air. There had been rain during this time, so the waterfalls were flowing well. We saw seven valleys and were amazed at the height of some of these waterfalls (1500 ft to 2400 ft.). Or pilot was Toshi and he was friendly, informative and had a good sense of humor. Because the clouds had gotten thicken over the hills, he had to take us via a more safe route around the coast. this added about 10 minutes to our ride, and none of us were complaining. Yes, helicopter rides are expensive, but we saw some beautiful valleys that can only be seen this way. we did by the video of our trip afterwards and have just watched it. Kind of fun, and gives additional perspective to our photos. Not the greatest video in the, but good as a souvenir of this one adventure.
I would definitely do this again! We sat in the back on the left and saw lots of great views. Our pilot Loren was so funny and we really enjoyed his tour. :)
