we much enjoyed our Heli ride. We did the one with the stopat the waterfall. Yes it is not cheap, but worth every penny. Very clean and modern heli. Very friendly pilot.

What an incredible experience... from the breath taking views... to the courteous staff... to our incredible pilot Geoff! !4 years later this island is still as amazing as before! Truly a magical place... with sights that can only be experienced in a helicopter!!

The day that we had our Blue Hawaiian helicopter ride scheduled the clouds seemed to be just a few feet off the ground. We had a rental car to sightsee the island, but we could not see anything for the dense clouds and excessive rain. We received a call from the helicopter company to tell us that the conditions would make it impossible for us to see all the sights that we were paying to see. Even though I was disappointed that we did not have a chance to take our helicopter ride, I was extremely impressed that the company was willing to give us our money back and save us from a less-than-perfect experience. Our attitude was that if they are willing to lose the money, we need to be appreciative of their concern for our safety and desire for us to have a perfect experience.

We really enjoyed our helicopter tour! It is a great way to see parts of the island that are otherwise inaccessible! The valleys and waterfalls and Na Pali Coast are all unreal! The pilot was friendly and seemed to know a lot about the island. The only thing he did say that Island helicopters (or Air, I can't remember) are the only ones that have a permit to land and take people to the waterfall that was in Jurassic Park. We flew by it but at the time there was a helicopter landed there and people at it, which I thought would be cool! Overall, we would def recommend doing this! And I would say to do it early on in your trip in case you see something you want to go back to during your trip (hikes, etc).

And I've done hang gliding and many small aircraft, but this was so special. From lift off to landing, we were enthralled with the natural beauty surrounding us. Our pilot, Joffery, was super skilled in giving us a smooth flight that took us to places you could never access by road or trails. He was informative and knowledgable, and yet knew when to stop talking so we could enjoy the scenic majesty around us, a real talent not all tour guides possess! The helicopter was state of the art, felt so safe, with crystal clear windows that gave everyone (6 people) great viewing for what was all around us. Waterfalls? We lost count of how many waterfalls we saw! Verdant green valleys, red-hued Waimea Canyon, spectacular, the coast of Na Pali, the crater of the inactive volcano, anything and everything you read about Kauai, we saw! Thank you Joffery and all the team of Blue Hawaiian for a day I won't forget, can't wait to do it again!

Very professional company. Besides the weather, your enjoyment of the trip will heavily depend on the personality of the pilot. The best thing I saw was a whale swimming by the Napali coast.

My husband turned 60 and one of the things at the top of his bucket list was to do a helicopter ride, as we were in Hawaii and cruising through the islands on the Pride of America we had stopped at Kauai and although I had tried to book a helicopter ride on one of the other islands and it was cancelled due to bad weather, we ended up taking the tour on Kauai. I can tell you I am so glad the other tour was cancelled as this ride was absolutely beautiful on Kauai, it is the most beautiful island to see from the air, as most of the island you cannot access by foot or car so to fly over and through this paradise was amazing! I grew up on Norfolk Island and know beauty but this island was magical, we felt like we had died and were flying through heaven! Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours were brilliant, the pilot Trevor was fantastic, his commentary was insightful, his play list was so beautiful and perfectly timed I cannot praise him highly enough! This company is very professional and most of all we felt very safe and we certainly got value for the money we spent, pricey but then worth every cent! Highly recommend the company, Trevor the pilot and the whole experience!

My 90 year old father-in-law and I loved the ride with Blue Hawaiian. They took great care of us; it's a well organized and smoothly-run operation from the time we stepped through the doors until we landed. Our pilot, Miguel, reassured the more nervous passengers of his experience and expertise, and gave us a great tour that felt very personalized. Top experience of our stay on Kauai so far!

We did the 2 hour flight. Brilliant views. Greg the pilot had so much knowledge to share. Great to see the staggering diverse beauty of this island from a different vantage point. Saw breaching whales as well as an added bonus. Well worth it. Pay the extra and do the 2hr spectacular. You won't be disappointed.

We flew to the Big Island from Oahu and then boarded our helicopter flight. Pilot Nate was great and explained the lava flows and the history very well. The helicopter provided great views and Nate flew it very well without any steep turns so the stomach was not jittery! Finishing over the waterfalls was excellent as it showed the abundance of nature and the contrasts of the island very well. It was worth every cent!

On Jan 26, 2016 my family (there were 4 of us) took the morning Big Island tour (about 2 hours) flight from Waikoloa. Our pilot, Shane. gave us a good history/tour of the volcano, valleys and waterfalls all of which were spectacular. The flight was very smooth and the turns were slow and he turned a lot to give both sides of the helicopter a chance for the great views. You also wore Bose headphones so the flight was fairly quiet. Shane was an excellent pilot with a very extensive background flying helicopters from Utah to Alaska to the Grand Canyon to Hawaii. He gave us a good history/explanation of what we were seeing and answered all our questions. He did an excellent job and would definitely recommend him if you are flying with them. Other points: Blue Hawaiian picked us up at our hotel (Hilton-Waikoloa) and brought us back. You could only take with you on the flight--sunglasses, camera, and a bottle of water. No hats, purses,etc.--they put those in a secure area at the facility. We bought the video of our flight for $40. It is expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

My dad and I took this tour with pilot Jeremy. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing sights, smooth flight, interesting facts, and friendly service. We were able to see parts of the island that we otherwise could not see. The waterfall was amazing. Everyone at Blue Hawaiian was very friendly. I even got to see "The Rock" look alike.

While there is a decent cost attached to this island tour, the value of seeing it from the air is so high that this was by far the best thing we spent money on during our vacation. A memory of a lifetime, and better yet for a very reasonable additional cost we both got a USB memory stick taken from their high def cameras on board, as well as an additional Blueray DVD of a composite of all of their various island tours. Just a great value all the way around.

Our pilot Brody was excellent.The views were amazing. The take off and flight were done very professional and would recommend this as a must do. We saw whales and landscapes that are untouched. Sacried areas and craters,waterfalls... Was speechless as the beauty was like nothing I have ever seen before.

Yes, it is expensive but you will not see any better views of Kauai.Though we had driven to Waimea Canyon, it sure looks different from above! It is also one of the only ways to see the north coast of Kauai, the Napali Coast - the other is from a boat. A little cheesy when you first take off and the theme from "Hawaii 5-0" is playing, but stay with it. Ask to be seated in the front seat, next to the pilot - it's a much better view. Barrett was our pilot, and he was very good. You can also purchase a personalized DVD of your flight, if you want.
