A lot of Kaua'i is inaccessible by foot so this is the perfect option to see the island. There's only one tour offered by the company, unlike their service on other islands. However one is all you need! You get to see everything. We booked this our first full day just in case weather was poor and they needed to cancel. We got to see the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, waterfalls, valleys, mountains, everything! It was such a cool ride. If the weather and visibility is good you get to go into a valley too. The views are amazing, the pilot was super informative, and this tour was one of our favorite things we did in Kaua'i.

Blue Hawaiian has a great reputation, and good pilots. We could not have seen the Napali Coast views and valleys without a helicopter. We were, however, disappointed with our seat placement again on this ride. Although we had requested the front if possible, My husband and I were placed in the back of the helicopter and he was assigned the center. As a photographer, he was unhappy the entire flight. He said we won't ride with them again. The people selected to sit in the front looked to be about the same weight that we were, so it did t make sense at all. Disappointed. It was a misty, foggy day, but that wasn't the fault of Blue Hawaiian. We had a similar experience on Maui a few years ago with this company, thought we'd try it again.

Our excursion on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was awesome! The views we saw were truly inspiring and spectacular. We saw most of the island including some great views of the Nepali Coast and the crater with its waterfalls. Our pilot, Scott, was friendly, cheerful, and thankfully, very competent. We were hooked into the copter's intercom system so we could ask questions of him and hear other passenger's questions or comments. We felt very safe during this, our first flight on a helicopter. It was very smooth, comfortable, and not noisy at all.

Top notch staff and pilot (Rick). Our pilot delivered a wealth of facts about Hawaii and made our trip more than just sight seeing. I fly in helicopter EMS and AirMethods hadn't missed a beat with these crews as far as quality and safety! Fantastic experience top to bottom!

This place was organized and they have to be with as many people the fly. Jason our pilot was very knowledgeable and very good at getting us and the helicopter where we could take pictures. Flying through the valleys seeing the huge waterfalls was amazing. The volcano was flowing and we saw red hot lave flowing into the see and bubbling at the crater. You can't do that in a boat or by hiking out. Highly recommend.

This was a 2-hour tour of both the volcanoes and the waterfalls in a eco-star helicopter. First of all, there are 6 passengers plus the pilot. There is not a bad seat on board and our pilot Greg was great for taking the extra time to travel back to make sure both sides of the helicopter got fantastic views. I don't like helicopter rides but I enjoyed this one. Greg was very professional and attentive to his flight duties as well as talking wth us about the sights below. We had excellent views of the lava flow into the ocean! We stopped in Hilo to refuel and then off to the north east coast for some really spectacular waterfalls. I gave this a 4-star rating as I was more nervous in the valley than near the volcanoes. I did get slightly nauseous with the turning back and forth to view all the falls - I think it was because the valley was more narrow than the open space. But overall, this was a fabulous tour, which gave a great perspective of the whole island and its vast landscape.

Dale was our captain and guide for a 2hr flight over the Big Island today. It was awesome! Seeing things that would never see any other way. I would do this trip again in a minute. The entire staff was professional and safety conscious. Again awesome trip!!

My boyfriend and I did this on our vacation and it was awesome! The views are incredible and our pilot and guide Julie was phenomenal. She did turns back and forth so that both sides of the helicopter could see the incredible views, found us a rainbow and two waterfalls. Also she made great music selections to listen to while there wasn't any narration; she pointed out all the interesting sights and has great knowledge of Oahu, took all our questions and was very engaging. My boyfriend was in one of the middle back seats and I was worried his view would be obstructed but he said he could still see everything. We had a terrific time and I would highly recommend it. It's pricey but worth it for the experience!

STUNNING helicopter tour. The sights are unbelievable. The pilots are extremely knowledgable and help make the ride fun and comfortable. Unfortunately our first tour was cancelled due to weather but when we look back, it was for the better. They did a great job rescheduling us and the day we ended up touring was great. Not much turbulence in the helicopter and very little rain, it was almost unnoticeable. My one caution is about air sickness. If you have ANY concern you might get air sick, take some meds or get the wrist straps. A helicopter tour is a must and blue Hawaiian was wort every penny!

We used Blue Hawaii on our recent trip to Kauai and flew with Brody, no words can describe the flight because it was beyond my ability to describe how incredible it was. Brody was able to bring the canyons to life with Hawaiian culture and history. The helicopters were top of the line, the staff were friendly and professional. Darrell was great, he calmed my nerves as it was my first ride on a helicopter. It was worth every dime! I will tell everyone going to Hawaii to use Blue Hawaii

We were very pleased with this company and with our ride out over the bubbling lava dome and lava falls dropping into the sea. We felt that the hour trip was worth the money. It was beautiful and memorable!

First helicopter ride. Dale was our pilot and he was great. He explained what we were seeing and also history of the areas we were seeing. The lava flow is Mother Nature's Show and since it was a clear day it was wonderful. Then from lava to the mountains with water falls, no words to explain what we saw. You need to take the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter trip. Life time experience.

My wife and I took the Big Island Spectacular tour and had the best time! Our pilot/guide, Dale, was engaging and made the flight even more enjoyable. We were able to see the lava in the volcano, watch the lava enter the Pacific and venture into valleys to see some of the most breathtaking waterfalls. I can't sing high enough praises for the tour, because it truly was one of the most magnificent things I've ever experienced. Warmest Mahalo to Blue Hawaiian!

I went last minute with my 2 teenagers yesterday. One of the best experiences. Beautiful views . Loren our pilot was awesome right down to his playlist as we went thru all the historical sites.... Friendly staff & safe which was my number one priority. What a way to end our last day of vacation ... Highly recommend if you can fit it in. Maria. Aloha

I can't say enough about our incredible experience. Our pilot, Scott, was wonderful. He gave awesome information and shared favorite hideaways only viewed by air. If you have a chance to visit Kauai, make Blue Hawaiian Helicopters a must do on your trip. You'll be amazed by the beauty of this island. We had taken several drives to locations throughout the island and then got to experience those plus many more on this 50 minute tour. The best dollars spent on the island!
