If you want to experience the beauty of Kauai but don't want to spend hours hiking, this is for you. Trevor was our pilot and he was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly a good pilot. He took us all over the island, including the Na Pali coast. The sights were surreal and the best I have ever seen. The helicopter itself has a lot of room and was comfortable. I would strongly recommend using Blue Hawaiian Helicopters if you want to see all of Kauai.
One of the coolest things I've ever done. Highly highly recommend. Miguel was amazing and so informative. The cliffs the waterfalls the view. Something to never forget. Felt very safe.
We had a great time on our helicopter tour of Oahu! Our pilot did a great job telling us about the island and moving the helicopter so that the people on both sides of the helicopter could see the sites! He even did this while in the mountains seeing the Sacred Falls waterfall. We had some turbulence, but felt safe the whole time. Would definitely recommend Blue Hawaiian! It's helicopters looked much better than their competitors!
We arrived without photo ID the first day and had to reschedule, so please remember to bring passports or driver licences with you. The flight was amazing. I have never been in a helicopter before but felt very safe with Brodie at the controls. We flew all over Oahu. He flew down the valley where the sacred falls are which you can not access by foot. So, it was great to see those. Along the northern coast he showed us Banzai pipeline and the big surf. Brodie was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the island. We had done the tour of Pearl Harbour the day before but Brodie added a few more details as we flew over. It was an amazing perspective to see it from the air.
Awesome two hour tour with landing at waterfall. We were a party of 7, so had the entire helicopter. Greg O was an awesome pilot/tour guide. He was great with our two girls. If you have motion sickness issues, recommend taking something ahead of flight. Lava was flowing and visible at 10am. Great way to see the Island in 2 hours.
We took the helicopter tour that took us along the coast, over the diverse terrain of the island , through deep valleys, by stunning waterfalls, lava tubes and lava spilling into the sea. Eric, our pilot was well informed and educated us on the history of the island, the economy etc. This flight was worth every penny. Don't miss out. This has been the highlight of our vacation.
*we did have to reschedule our flight because the president was on Oahu at the time and when he is moving around TSA and the Secret Service shuts down the helicopters. Once we took off you immediately head down the southern coast to Waikiki and over Diamond Head. Back over Punchbowl and Pearl Harbor then up over the center of the Island and the Dole Plantation to Sacred Falls and the North Shore. Breath taking views and a great experience. Information provided along the way by the pilot.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter flight was all if not more than we had hoped for. Although our flight was late in the day, the variable weather patterns around Kauai mean that what we saw in the afternoon those in the morning may have missed. What a fantastic island to explore, so many variations to the landscape. These pilots really can show you the good sides to the island and take you to places you read about. Great memories to take home.
We took the flight at the start of our first visit to Kauai and our pilot, Greg, gave us so much interesting history and information about the island. We bought the video and we're glad we have it!
This group is well organized and safety conscious. Our pilot, Shay, put us at ease immediately and gave us an incredible tour and great insider information. I strongly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
Was recommended by a friend and glad we went. Very professional company, beautiful trip with commentary from our pilot Joffrey. Six passengers at a time, good visibility, smooth ride. Loved it.
I highly recommend seeing Kauai by helicopter. You are able to see parts of Kauai that are only accessible by long hikes, if at all. Our pilot Shay had lots of interesting facts to share and he answered all of my son's questions. I had some trouble with motion sickness but I was still able to enjoy the beautiful views. If you are prone to motion sickness make sure to take something before your tour.
We took a flight all around the big island. We took in rain forests, volcanos, lava flows and magnificent waterfalls. We did the big island spectacular which lasted for about two hours. Our pilot, Greg, was great and provided a running commentary of everything that we could see. I expected the flight over the lava would be the highlight but I was wrong. The final part of the flight took in the valleys and waterfalls on the island and they were stunning and I think probably best seen from the air. In terms of organization we were picked up from our hotel, driven to the heliport and checked in. Then shown a safety briefing. Shortly after the helicopter arrived (ecostar) and we boarded and took off. The entire flight is also captured on Camera and the video can be purchased after. It does take a few hours to get the video though so you either need to go back and collect it or it can be posted to you. The video is provided on a USB stick. For me this was worth every penny as you get to see everything on the island in one trip.
We did the big island spectacular with the waterfall stop, and it was worth every cent of the ride. We flew with Tom who was great at pointing out various sites, volcanic eruptions, history, points of interest and witty commentary. The helicopter was very smooth and quiet. Tom took us to the most recent lava flows into the ocean and over some active volcanic cones. As it was my family of 4 on one side and a couple on the other side, Tom made sure he circled around some of those spots to ensure we all had a great view. The landing at an otherwise unaccessible waterfall completed the experience for all of us. 5 stars from all of us and I highly recommend this trip with the waterfall landing, and company to see the big island in all its splendor.
This experience was incredible! So professionally run, and a really great way to see the island. We did the morning tour and could not have asked for a better morning.
