Worst experience I have ever had on vacation! They separated my wife and I. I was put in the back corner by myself behind the pilot; facing the ocean for a good portion of the flight. One of the employees told me I was set to be with my wife in the front, but another man paid an extra $100 for my spot. I had already paid an extra $200 over the normal ticket price to ensure we would be together and comfortable. Most of the scenery was on the passenger side, but I couldn't see very well because there was a couple next to me with a baby in their laps that wouldn't hold still and when the baby was not in the way they had their go-pro on a stick blocking the window (the pilot would do occasional twists so I would get 2-3 seconds of a view). I voiced my concern before the flight, but the staff basically threatened to put us both where neither of us could see. My wife on the other hand had a great view and a great flight with some other man! Wish I could have experienced our 15 year anniversary helicopter flight in Hawaii with her!!Note: I waited 8 months to post because I thought I would get over how upset this made me, but I am obviously still very frustrated by my experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!

A fear of helicopters but it was time to overcome. A never forget experience, amazing views - pictures don't do it justice. The process of getting on board was smooth and they made me feel right at ease. Boarding with my family we slid on our headphones and off we went. Pilot was great, very knowledgeable and you could tell he had a passion for what he does. Book it and see images that with take your breath away. We flew into a volcano - do you need to say more!

Fantastic! Paid for the upgrade to sit up front with the Pilot Shay.! One of our first tours! Worth every penny!

Amazing experience...exceeded expectations. The best way to see Kauai!! Not to mention, we had an absolutely wonderful pilot...Tim! Overall, awesome!

We went out of the small airport in Princeville for the 45-minute ride around the island. We had an absolutely beautiful day, which can be a little unusual. The tour took us south from Princeville down the middle of the island, before cutting west through Waimea Canyon and the back up along the Napali Coast. Our pilot Mark was great, making multiple turns around the best sports so people on both sides of the copter got great views. His knowledge of the island also was a big plus -- he had lots of information about what we were seeing. We weren't planning on this but our cruises along the Napali Coast got canceled so we tried it and no regrets. They also offer a video of the trip, that was quite good (although there can be some audio issues on Macs). It was pricey (about $60) but a great record of the trip.
