With over 70% of the island being inaccessible by land, Kauai is truly best seen from the sky. On this incredible helicopter tour of Kauai, you’ll experience views so beautiful they will take your breath away. Explore the stunning Manawaiopuna Falls, also known as “Jurassic Park” falls, wedged in between the emerald green mountaintop of the Hanapepe Valley. Fly over the amazing views of the Olokele Canyon and majestic Waimea Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” where you’ll catch sight of dozens of cascading waterfalls. Then, Kauai’s magical North Shore reveals the sculpted green valleys and 3,000-foot sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, the pristine turquoise-blue waters of Hanalei Bay and the Princeville Resort area.
Lastly, weather permitting, your pilot will fly you to Mt Wai’ale’ale, a dormant shield volcano with over 450 inches of rainfall each year, making it the second wettest places on earth. Here you’ll witness the most beautiful emerald green vegetation draped over the mist-covered mountain, with 3,000-foot cascading waterfalls filling each crevice—a truly awe-inspiring finish to your ECO Adventure over the Garden Isle.

This was my first helicopter ride, since a helicopter tour was highly recommended by so many people that I spoke with who had been to Kauai. A large portion of this island is comprised of dense jungle, and there's no way to really see the island fully unless you take a helicopter ride. We were able to book our tour at Blue Hawaiian for the same day, and the tour was a few hours after I called in.Blue Hawaiian is one of the pricier tours to go on, and it was $289/person for a 50-55 minute tour. I went on the tour at 2:30pm, and they were right on time. They are located to the side of the main airport, and parking was easy since they have their own lot. You check in at the front desk, then you watch the safety video in a large group. They then split you up to groups of around 6, and then you're seated in the place primarily by weight, to ensure the helicopter is balanced properly. Everyone gets a head seat so you're able to listen and talk to the pilot throughout the flight. My pilot was very knowledgeable, and shared some interesting facts during the flight. They bring you to see the area on the island where Jurassic Park was filmed (Napali Coast, Waimea Falls), which are only accessible by helicopter. The ride was really bumpy at times, but you really do get the best opportunity to see some amazing views and take photos. Also Blue Hawaiian is pricey, they are very professional and they make you feel safe during the tour.
With the pilot there were 6 of us in the helicopter. Our pilot, Dave, was excellent - pointed out places of interest, had some good stories but also left some 'quiet time' which we enjoyed.
After much research, we chose Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for our air tour of Kauai. The company's reputation for safety, hiring the best, most highly trained pilots informed our decision. The pilot was knowledgeable and was able to tell great stories about the island and its history. I'd highly recommend using Blue Hawaiian for peace of mind, a feeling of security, and an overall great experience from the time you check-in for the flight until you're departing after returning. Top notch organization.
