Aloha from a different viewpoint Spectacular two hours spent seeing this amazing island from a different perspective. If you can, splurge and take the Eco-star out of Waikoloa. Marco, our pilot, was personable, informed and a talented lead. The entire staff was dedicated to the safety, comfort and enjoyment of the customer. Nicely done So varied, the topography and sights...it's cool beginning in the airid lunar-like fields and traveling over Coastline, tropical rainforests...on and on. The lush waterfalls on the Hamakua coast were gorgeous. The volcano with its steaming vents, active flow and bubbling cauldron amazing to witness! A dynamic trip - with lighting and weather conditions ever changing it will appear different every trip. All in all, a memory maker / if you can, GO!

We booked the island spectacular tour. Were picked up at our resort (5 people) and driven out to heliport. Welcomed with fresh coffee ( 6 am). We booked the ecostar helicopter for its size. The ground crew gave us a video to explain safety info and compact life jackets. Our pilot was Karl who broke the ice and any fears right from the get go with both his humour and technical information. The music started ( which must have taken a lot of thought as it was appropriate for each second of our flight) and we took off. Saw lava flows. Mountains. Cliffs and amazing valleys with too many water falls to count. It's expensive to do...but worth every dime! Note: spend the money on the video of your flight. .memories.

This was an amazing tour. We took the 45 minute tour. They picked us up from the hotel. I was going to the rental car center by the airport after the tour and they did take me there while driving my wife and son back to the hotel.

Wow...what an amazing experience!!! This was our 1st helicopter ride and it was truly magical! The copter ride itself was smooth, our pilot Jen was funny and very informative and our 3 yr old enjoyed it too (so smooth she fell asleep the last 10 min). The whole thing was top notch and would highly recommend to anyone visiting beautiful Oahu

Everything about this trip met my expectations - friendly staff, professional, comfortable atmosphere, safe environment. I had read that others weren't thrilled about the DVD from some companies, but the DVD footage was awesome. I ended up buying it. I'd highly recommend Blue Hawaiian. It made the trip!

This was the only company that did not charge full price for two seats for a person over 250 pounds. They charged a seat and a 1/2. My husband and I had two seats between us so we both got a side window. The views would have been fine for the middle two seats in the back,but picture taking would have been difficult. The people in front had great views (two chairs next to pilot - lower than back seats so that all can see) It was raining when we started so visibility in the front was worse than the sides. We got good pics in back. Front people did not. It did clear when we got to the West side of the island. We got great pics. There was glare even though they made us wear black shirts if we didn't come with dark clothes. I have a lot of arm glare in my pics (I edited it out) Pros good for larger people comfortable aircraft (never felt in danger) Nice pilot, very knowledgeable Beautiful! You really get a great view of parts of the island that most people never see. Company was professional and has a very nice waiting area. (If you get there really early before the first flight, you may have to wait for someone to let you in) Tea, water and coffee was available. Nice restrooms. We bought the video. It was worth it. They took a nice picture of us in front of the helicopter. Reasonable price Cons shorter ride than other companies (it was still pretty darn good) no open air helicopters glare (it will happen) Would not be good in pouring rain. It was fine with mix of drizzle and sun.

Extremely Professional and very considerate. I wasn't sure how I was going to do since I get motion sickness very easily but, I had to see more of this beautiful island. I did get a little dizzy but it was SOOOO worth it! You must take part of this beautiful tour! You could possibly see hikers hiking in the mountains to your right and whales swimming in the beautiful ocean to your left as you encounter beautiful rainbows continuously all throughout your journey. It's truly an unforgettable experience.

With only 2 days on Kauai, we asked friends what we should see and do. Their reply was to take a helicopter flight. Great! Not my favourite mode of transport. Because my husband really wanted to do this, I agreed. We chose Blue Hawaiian and were not disappointed. Their reputation and professionalism is unsurpassed. After the safety briefing, we met our pilot and boarded the helicopter. He explained where we would be flying and gave us a superb description as well a great view for all passengers. Most of Kauai is inaccessible and the best way to see it is from the air. This was definitely a highlight and I will happily do it again.

For the second time we have flown with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. 15 years ago on the Big Island, this time Kauai. So glad we took trip. Not cheap but worth every penny. Professional pilot; great aircraft; good safety and trip prep before flight. Very nice video available for purchase after flight. The views during the flight and the background info from the pilot made this the highlight of our trip. We were very fortunate as we had minimal clouds and rain - very unpredictable. Recommend earlier flights as clouds build up more later in day - per locals.

We truly loved our Blue Hawaiian helicopter experience, it is the only way to see the entire island, and we saw it ALL, waterfall after waterfall, the Na Pali coast, the Kauai Crater, and much much more. We got so close to the waterfalls and mountains that we felt like we could reach out and touch them ... but our amazing pilot Barrette had us feeling completely safe and sound the entire trip. Now the caveat, we were told we could get a video of our adventure so we didn't take as many pictures and we were excited to pay almost any premium they would charge, but when we got back to base the quality of the video was AWFUL. Only to find out that we had the only helicopter in their fleet not retrofitted with the better cameras. It was so bad that there was no way I would pay a dime for it ... they should have given it to us for free so we could at least do a little advertising to our friends. We really wanted to bring a memory home with us but not that piece of garbage. 5 stars for the experience and 0 stars for the video, averages out to 3. Our recommendation, do it, just make sure you get a chopper with better video system.

We booked the Island Spectacular with the waterfall landing. Words an hardly describe how spectacular this trip was. The team there is terrific. Safety is a prime concern for them and it shows. Ian was our pilot. He's a big reason we had such a great time. Friendly, engaging and super knowledgeable about his bird and the tour spots. Thanks, Blue Hawaiian for an amazing day and a trip of a lifetime!

We took the 60 minute West Maul / Molakai Tour on the Eco-Stars helicopters. I highly recommend the Eco-star over the A-Star as they are much newer helicopters (or they look it) and are very comfortable. We got to see plenty of waterfalls as it had rained the past 2 days so we got a very nice experience on the ride. Highly recommend this activity as it is quite unique especially if you've never been in a helicopter.

What an amazing experience! My daughter and I took the Island tour and I must say it was money well spent. Great way to see some of the most beautiful waterfalls that are only accessible by Air. Our pilot was Glenda who was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of Island information. She has such a soothing voice that if you're nervous of flying (like I was) hearing her voice was comforting. The helicopter is comfortable. We had window seats so had an awesome view. Definitely recommend flying with Blue Hawaiian...

We had fun and had a great tour around the island. At first was bit nervous but Marco our pilot made the flight very smooth and provided an informative ride. It is definitely pricey but worth it. We were on the Euro and got a nice view and felt safe. It was pretty amazing. Loved the view from up in the sky. It was quite peaceful at times when we were going over the island. The headphones cancel much of the noise, they played some music, some were bit off but overall nice complement to the view. The shuttle was there early at our hotel and came to pick us up and take us to the heliport so if you didn't have a car, that's no problem. It was about 30 mins. They will also drop you off. The staff checking us in were friendly and they have to weigh you there again to be sure the weight is appropriate. You can't take anything on the helicopter except for cameras. phone and water. They lock your belongings for you. Safety is important which is good to see. After we landed, we were given a cool towel and they had water on the porch for you as well. They provide a recording if you like to purchase it. We got ours for free because the audio wasn't working. Was really worth it. Those considering timing of this adventure, it might be good to do it early so you can see everything and then decide where you want to go. Fun!!!

I always enjoy flying with this company and have flown with them on 2 other islands. The customer service is impeccable (shout out to Kevin in reservations), the pilots are all professionals, and I know I am in good hands every time we take off. Also, I love the eco-star helicopters! Big windows and comfy seats. You can never go wrong flying with these guys!
