We had a beautiful morning with an excellent pilot to enjoy the areas of Kauai which are hard to see otherwise. The staff and ground crew were friendly and the safety information was appreciated. Our pilot knew a lot about the island and answered all of our questions about life on this beautiful island. I am sure each trip is different, so I would take this trip again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our flight with Greg. He was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour fun. Blue Hawaiian has a very professional set-up; I felt completely safe at all times. This was by far the best way to see the Big Island-volcano, coast, waterfalls...doesn't get much better than that!!!

To anyone visiting Hawaii, a helicopter island experience is a must and Blue Hawaiian is the best! The views from high above is absolutely breath taking. Our pilot was great and pointed out so many landmarks. Everyone should experience this once in their life.

Well organised and executed tour. Fantastic views of the island of many parts that are inaccessible by foot. The pilot gave an excellent and informative commentary during the flight. A must do trip!!!

This was the most amazing experience and something all people should do while visiting the island if they can. Julie was our pilot and she was excellent and very knowledgeable. The people at the desk when checking in were extremely professional and friendly. Everything went smoothly from the booking to when we exited the building after the flight. I highly recommend this place. It is also much cheaper than a lot of other helicopter tours but just as good if not better. Love it! Will be back!

We had the wonderful opportunity to see the natural beauty of Kauai from the aerial view on December 17th and it was the highlight of our Hawaiian vacation. Our pilot, Miguel, was experienced and competent and made each person feel involved by pointing out landmarks as we flew and facilitating communication during the flight! He was also a lot of fun! I have to agree with all the reviews for the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours that I read prior to our trip. They are the "Cadillac of helicopter tour companies." Their safety presentation before the flight was very helpful. Their phone representatives are so friendly and efficient in helping you book a flight. You won't believe the sound quality of the music that is played during the flight... just beautiful . We bought the video that is recorded during the flight and it has been great showing it to our family members. They all want to go now Don't miss this experience.

This is a tour that simply has to be taken! Almost a full hour's flight which gives unrivalled access and views of the magnificent Kauai landscape. Our pilot was friendly and very knowledgable and ensured we got a close up, bird's eye perspective of All the major sights including the Na Pali coast. Most of these areas are either inaccessible or very difficult to access so is an absolute must. The ground crew are friendly and helpful and you can purchase a video of your flight at the end.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours is a good way to see the entire island of Kauai. The helicopter flies over areas of the island that cannot be reached by vehicle or on foot. The pilot goes out of his way to get the best views of canyons, waterfalls, mountains, valleys and the coast line. Blue Hawaiian is located at the Lihue Airport. They have a building with a gift shop, restrooms and a comfortable waiting area. They request that passengers wear dark colored clothing to reduce the glare on the windows. The tour is a bit pricy. The cost for two passengers was approximately $420. The tour lasts approximately one hour. The helicopter we flew in carried six passengers. The only annoying thing about the tour was the passenger who sat next to me. He videoed the entire flight and kept waving his cell phone in front of my face.

We couldn't book until our last day on Kauai and saw so many places during the flight that we would have tried to see/do if we knew about them sooner. Marty was a great pilot and got us up close to amazing views. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. My family loved the tour, including my motion sensitive daughter, who had no problems with the flight - it was much more comfortable than we expected.

If you visit Kauai you must do the helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian. They were the only operator that would fly the tour even if not fully booked. Tried Jack Harter but they would only fly with a full booking. So glad we went with Blue Hawaiian. They picked us up from the cruise ship for no extra cost. Check in was easy and they were very professional in all that they did. The flight itself was awesome. You cannot describe in words the view of the island, the Napali coastline and the spectacular waterfalls. Scott our pilot got us so close and his knowledge was very impressive. Book on line and you will save but any price you pay is worth the money. A must for anyone.

The best way to see the island of Kauai is via Helicopter because most of the island is hard to get to. This was an incredible experience and well worth the cost. Blue Hawaiian is the best rated for good reason. Joffrey was our pilot and he was the best!

Great way to see most of the Big Island from a unique perspective and see areas not accessible by car. Our guide/pilot was great and we learned a lot while seeing lava flows, the coast, incredible valleys, and Parker Ranch. If staying at the Hilton Grand Vacations, they have a discount available through the concierge as well. Certainly worth the price.

We did the Big Island Spectacular Tour on the EcoStar. This is a MUST!. Recommendation - Do not Wait until the End of your Visit to schedule your tour because the weather can be fickle. You want to have the option to reschedule if the weather forces cancellation. It happened to us and we were able to schedule for the next day. Blue Hawaiian was great. They offered several options - no strings. Toshi was our pilot - he did a great job.

We did the Big Island Spectacular with the stop at a waterfall. The tour was one of the highlights of our time on the Big Island. We were able to see Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea, Waipio Valley, live lava flows, and spectacular coast scenery. We landed at a waterfall and had time to wade in a stream, take pictures, and relax. The pilot volunteered to take pictures of everyone at the waterfall, and also with the helicopter. We had a chance to chat with the other passengers and picked up some helpful tips on what to do and what not to do with our remaining time on the Big Island. Definitely wear dark clothes, nothing light or bright. The gentleman in front of me (there were 6 plus the pilot on our trip) wore a bright blue shirt, and there were many pictures I took that had a reflection of his shirt. I think it might be worth paying more to be on a flight with fewer people. The seating is done by computer, and is by weight. Couples sit together. I had a window seat, but my boyfriend did not, and his view was definitely impeded. If you were a short person and stuck in one of the middle seats, I think you would be very disappointed. That being said, we felt it was definitely worth our time and money to do this helicopter tour!

This is a pricey deal, but worth it if you ever want to see a live volcano from above. Our pilot, Chris, gave an excellent presentation and answered all questions. The flight was smooth and comfortable. Headsets are provided which allow you to communicate with the pilot and provides musical interludes to dampen the helicopter noise.
