We are in Kauai for a 40th anniversary trip. The wife wanted to do a helicopter ride and I said fine. It was terrific even though we encountered some rain coming back. But with 400+ inches of rain per year in the interior of the island, no surprise there. Scott the pilot was the consummate professional, and his narration was perfect. Clearly a guy who is good at his job and appears to enjoy it as well. It is truly remarkable how little of Kauai one could enjoy if stuck on the roads. The sights are incredible and only accessible by helicopter. This was worth every penny of the price. Blue Hawaiian is clearly the Cadillac operation in the helicopter tour market, but sometimes it pays to go first class. Highly recommended.

This was our first time on Kauai and have heard so much about the island, the only problem is the 90% of the island is inaccessible. The only way to see it is by helicopter. We have never been on one so we ventured out to see what it was all about. Blue Hawaiian tours were great, the have a well run, well organized program. You felt secure about what you were heading into! We have seen some other shady tours that work out of a tent with duct tape on their copter!! 'My wife and I were seated in the front but any seat in their Air Bus helicopters area a good seat. Our captain was Brody a 16 year pilot and island native. He was very knowledgeable about the island and kept my wife at ease with his flying abilities. The scenery from the air is unbelievable ! If you come to Kauai you have to do is trip. From the water falls to the cliffs to just seeing the different terrain from one side of the island to another is fantastic. To hear Brody explain the deep heritage from the islanders and how they used to survive on the island is mesmerizing. He talks from his heart why he tells you about the island. The last part of the trip you are taken to the top of the island which is the wettest place on earth, it gets like 35' of rain per year. It is spectacular! Hopefully the gods will give you a clear day to see it! Mahalo Blue Hawaiian and capt Brody.

Went for a 2 hour helicopter ride with pilot Gary O. What a great experience. I am happy that we planned this early in our trip because we now have a better sense of what to do the rest of the week. Gary was very knowledgeable and really added to the trip. We took the 7:00 am option which I recommend. The highlight was getting to fly through a number of valleys where we got to see many waterfalls up close.

If one is going to do a helicopter flight this is the One to pick, the copters are Quite almost as if one was riding in a car and I felt Safe , we had Kristi as our pilot she gave a detailed description on the highlight as we flew over them but the real plus for me was when we flew the path the the Japanese flew when they bombed Pearl Harbor and came right over the Arizona and gave ample time to take pictures

We had Karl fly us and what a treat it was! He knew so much about the island and gave our family an extremely smooth ride. He flew us along the lava flow to the ocean, over the rain forest and beautiful waterfalls.

good helicopter tour but i guess somehow expected more content from pilot and lower views from flying did whole island tour and hit most of the major spots in the 45 min flight had choice of similar tour on other companies and the concierge was probably right this company ah a more corporate feel vs customer but i would recomend

Took a tour of the island with my wife and two kids. Had a fantastic time. Flew over where several movies were filmed, the coast, canyon, etc. Pilot was Greg, he was very good, added humor and facts to the tour. Helicopter felt very safe and was roomy. Kauai is stunning from above. First class company and experience.

First we watched a safety video then got ready for our flight. Brody was our pilot. He was on the serious side but very informative. We could ask questions once we were on our way. The scenery was beautiful and different depending on what part of the island we were flying over. We got close to the side of mountains and near waterfalls. Brody also knew so much about the island and told of the respect for the Hawaiian gods and people. I felt very safe. There was only one problem it went by too quick!

I'll make this review short and sweet. - Helicopter was safe, clean, and seemed new. - Tour was fun. We chose the tour as the lava flow was currently active, so we got to see the lava reaching the ocean. Maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity - The waterfall portion of the tour was pretty lackluster. - Our pilot was very informative and engaging with the whole cabin. Only downside to the tour was the price.

This is second times on helicopter tour. I would like to confirm this company are the best but is want extremely exciting will not facing. The capital are nice and friendly. Thank you so much.

We loved this helicopter ride. It is truly awe-inspiring. It was one of my favorite travel experiences ever. If you are going to do one helicopter ride in Hawaii this is it. I would recommend doing a helicopter ride in Kauai over any of the other islands. It is even better than the volcano one in Hilo. It is truly spectacular.

We chose Blue Hawaiian because friends of ours raved about them from their vacation several years ago. They were right. We had a great pilot, Marty, who had a lot of flying and rescue experience which made us really comfortable in the helicopter. Very professional team throughout the experience, w/safety training briefly before your flight. Amazing views and great history and explanation of the island and all the landscape, mountains, beaches, craters, etc. You can't understand the island as well as you can once you've flown above it. Relaxing music made the journey extra enjoyable and our pictures from our camera were fantastic. The video they take is very nice to have as well, but still bring your camera for unforgettable photos to keep!

We are so happy we decided to take the helicopter tour of Kauai. It's such an amazing experience and the sights are out of this world!

I have been to the Hawaiian islands probably 20+ times but this tour left me and my daughter, in awe. Shane was our pilot and he was excellent. Check in, safety video, on time and ease of Blue Hawaiian Helicopter was perfect. It was a windy day and I was concerned it would be a bumpy ride, however it was surprisingly smooth. Well worth it!

My husband & I went on the full island tour. Chase was our helicopter pilot. We have been on flights before around other islands & Chase by far was THE BEST pilot we have ever had. He pointed out all the best spots & got close to the stunning waterfall falls so we could get epic pictures. It was the smoothest flight in a helicopter EVER. He plays great music too. I strongly recommend blue hawaiian & ask for Chase to be your pilot!
