Chad our pilot was excellent and very knowledgeable. Took us to the volcano crater and a couple of waterfalls. He took us over a couple of times on both sides of the helicopter so everyone had a great view. A little pricey but well worth the price of the ticket!

We knew we wanted to do a helicopter ride to get the best view of the volcano. We relied on Trip Advisor to aid selection. Blue Hawaiian flew from Waikoloa which is where we were staying. The other alternatives were cheaper but all meant driving across the Island. After much discussion among ourselves (2 couples) we decided on the Big Island Spectacular with waterfall landing and booked it for the afternoon of our arrival. WOW! What was supposed to be a 2 hour trip ended up almost 2.5 hours and our pilot (Eli) was every bit as good as the scenery. His commentary really gave us an in depth view of the Island and ideas of what to do on the following days. The waterfall landing was so worth the extra cost. The whole trip, from check-in to landing and bringing home the DVD was the highlight of our 8 days in Hawaii for all four of us. We have done helicopter rides before, including the Grand Canyon, but the variety of views on this one leave you breathless. The volcano was our goal but he waterfalls ended up being the highlight. Can't recommend the trip enough. The staff were all a credit to the company. Highly recommend. Make your savings somewhere else if you are on a budget!

My wife and I took the 2 hour tour with Blue Hawaiian on one of the Eco-Star helicopters to start our weeklong stay in Waikoloa! What a wonderful start. From the reservation to reception to the flight, fully organized and efficient from start to finish. A special shout out to Chase, our pilot and guide on the tour. He was not only a great pilot but informative, engaging and very entertaining with the group. Although the price may appear steep to some, the trip, views and overall once in a lifetime experience is well worth it.

what a beautiful experience it was to fly over Waikiki with our pilot Kristie. She made the whole experience very special indeed. Thanks Kristie it really was an amazing flight. I would recommend doing it for sure.

Did this helicopter ride when we went to Hawaii and it was amazing! You fly over the whole island including pearl harbour and Waikiki beach. The views are incredible! Our pilot was really good and knowledgable and pointed out different things during the flight. They also have a camera in the helicopter that videos your flight so you have the option of buying that once you land. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Oahu!

Before using Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, we had booked with Malakani Helicopters, BUT due to a storm they cancelled our tour. And could not acoomodate us with something of our liking, so on our last day, it ended up being a nice sunny one. I called Blue, and I explained our situation being that this was our last day and we really wanted to do a Tour, they quickly were able to accommodate us. We were told to wear black clothing to prevent a glare on the windows and have a nice video, if we were to record with a cell phone and or gopro. This was one of our highlights of our vacation, It was sooo amazing flying through green mountains and seeing waterfalls that can only be seen in a helicopter, seeing the city from so high above, this is my favorite part of my vacation video, I get emotional just thinking about it. Our pilot was so informative and made us feel so secured and safe, her flying was so smooth and relaxing. It was truly breathtaking this tour was sooo worth our vacation, and was one of the best highlights of it!!!!!

We took this trip a few days after we had been on the helicopter trip around Kauai. We saw flew over the vents and the lava flow into the sea and also managed to glimpse Mauna Kea observatory through the cloud on our trip back to the waterfalls. I think, had we not done the other trip we'd have been very happy but just felt there was quite a lot of the trip traversing the lava field. Our pilot, Brandt was skilful, knowledgable and made sure we all got great views of each site.

We flew with the amazing Blue Hawaiian Pilot Shay through the most beautiful scenery on the planet! Helicopter is the only way to see most of this amazing Island. Waterfalls, old volcanoes, Napili Coast that and more!! You'd have to plan multiple tours, hikes and events and still never see everything you experience on this one Helicopter Tour. Blue Hawaiian does a good job. The are fairly priced, professional, safe and experienced. They are at the airport located across the street from the rental car locations and easy to get to. If your on the Pride of America you can take the shuttle to the rental car location, rent your car and be right there for your tour. I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian for a Helicopter Tour in Kaui and Hilo. It is a bucket list once and a lifetime experience so do it!!

Start to finish, this is a professional, courteous, and exceptional experience. Our Pilot, Brody, did an amazing job of providing spectacular views to passengers on all sides of the helicopter. He also brought a unique aloha spirit as he shared his heritage and love of Kauai. I would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian! (And, as this was our 2nd flight with Blue Hawaiian, we received a $40 discount per person - an added bonus!)

The helo tour with Barett was awesome. I've done helo tours before in Vegas and Orlando and by far away this ride topped them all. For starts the staff at Blue Hawaiian was fantastic making our reservations. Secondly, the staff was understanding when we checked in late for our flight due to some nasty traffic on the wAy. Last but not least was the demeanor of our captain, Barrett. It's nice to see a local at the helm of the helicopter as he was so chilled out And of course he's a pro at laying out what is on the tour. The facilities at the heliport are first class. This is important as check-in is 45 minutes before the tour starts. Relaxing in the lobby of their heliport offices was a pleasure and there's always plenty to see as helicopters are coming and going. The tour itself was pure majesty for 55 minutes. The Eco star chopper is a first class ride and the little but important features such as Bose noise cancelling headphones do count towards making the journey a comfortable one. While such exploits aren't cheap, the indelible memories of hovering past casacading waterfalls and the Na Pali coast will stick with me for the ages. I'm confident this tour will be enjoyed by all.

The Blue Hawaiian tour at Kauai is by far one of the coolest things that I've ever done on vacation. It's not cheap, but it's well worth it. My wife and I got married in May, and as with most couples we were rich in love and poor in... well everything else. I graduated college one week and got married the next. I think we split every meal on that trip. While we were in Kauai, we saw an advertisement for the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour, but I doubt they would have let us split the seat so we had wrote it off the list. We were talking with someone from the resort, and they mentioned the tour. We told them we didn't have the money, but they said there was a timeshare offering a coupon for the tour if you listened to their pitch. I'm not sure whether you have ever listened to a timeshare pitch, but I like to compare it to going to a family reunion. You don't really want to be there, but you have to. You try to act interested (because you always have it in the back of your mind that they might not give you the coupon if you don't and then you'll leave empty handed) , but the whole time you can only think about when you get to leave. Well, long story short. I sold part of my vacation soul to get that coupon, and it was more than worth it. The tour left out that morning and me and my wife got to sit up front with the pilot. The tour circles around the Napali coast which is breathtaking and takes you up close and personal with some of the islands many waterfalls. Our pilot was great and the ride was super smooth. The helicopters they use are absolutely first class. I would definitely take this tour again given the opportunity, and I'd love to try out their tours on some of the other islands.

An outstanding experience which is definitely worth the price .... a must do on Kauai. All aspects of the flight were well organised and safety was a priority.

Wear our first Helo ride w/ Blue Hawaii and it was more than we expected. Staff are very outgoing and welcoming and ensure you are feeling good about your upcoming ride. Tennessee Brian was our pilot which made it an additional treat because he not only showed us sites we could have never seen by ground, but he also shared relevant facts and stories that he had found fascinating since moving to Kauai himself. Helo was large and comfortable. Brian checked in frequently to ensure all were okay and having fun. His down to earth personality made the ride a truly memorable experience that we would definitely recommend to all. Will try to upload pictures when I can get them off my camera, btw bring yours and definite wear dark clothes to avoid reflecting light in the cab. Have fun!

This was by far my favorite part of our vacation in Kauai. You get to see the entire island on the best guided tour available. The views can not possibly be beat and the pilot was absolutely amazing providing fun facts about the island while navigating through the canyons and the NaPali coast line. Definitely a must do if going to Kauai!

Beautiful flight into the canyons of Kauai. It just took your breath away at how close you come into the mountains and canyons. The pilot was extremely knowledgeable of the areas and gave a great talk of the places we went. Best flight ever in a helicopter.
