We had an amazing helicopter tour of the island with a great pilot, Brian. Brian was very knowledgeable about the Island of Kauai, he had personally hiked many of the trails so he was able to add personal stories and experiences, and he was very friendly. We saw parts of the island that we had previously seen from land, Brian shared some history of the island, the tribes and the land owners, and the flight and the winds were very calm. Highly recommend the helicopter tour near the beginning of your stay on the Island of Kauai so that you may plan out the rest of your trip. You might also consider taking the flight tour at the end of the trip to see what you had experienced on the ground earlier in the week.

Okay so you’ve seen Kauai from the road driving yourself or with a tour. Maybe you’ve seen Kauai from a boat ride along the Na Pali coast. This is my second trip to Kauai and I’ve done both of the above, twice, but I did not really see Kauai until we did the helicopter ride yesterday! This is the best hands down experience of our month here. Fantastic, breathtaking views, magnificent and any like adjective applies to this ride. Our pilot was Kris and he was great at explaining not only what we were seeing but also how it came to be, so the history of Kauai in short explanations. He answered questions and made sure both sides of the helicopter had opportunities to see everything. You do not get to pick where you sit, that’s computer generated after you are privately weighed upon sign in. No worries though as the pilot turns the craft to ensure you do. I’ve been on helicopters in “dangerous” areas and have never had a scary experience which now includes this trip. It was windy and Kris was great at warning us when to expect a rougher ride. This was fantastic, I highly recommend it. Only items allowed on the flight are sunglasses and your camera or cell phone in your hand. No bags allowed but they do have free lockers. Best to wear dark clothing to lessen the reflection. Enjoy the ride!!!

We chose Blue Hawaiian based on the type of helicopter they use and the fact that they allowed kids as little as ours to join the tour. As a mom, I appreciated the fact that they try to place little kids by the window to give them the opportunity to see outside more easily. Anyone 3 and above needs to pay a full fare. Our 1.5 year old was a free-loader and sat in my husband's lap. We were initially a little concerned as there was some protesting involved when putting on the mandatory infant life vest and headsets on the baby, however once the vibration of the blades started, the baby fell asleep and slept the whole tour. The staff said that's what usually happens with little kids. And I do want to mention that the staff was very attentive to the kids (and us) - helped them with their headsets, helped the kids on the helicopter, buckled them, helped taking off the life vests after the tour, asked the 3 year old how he liked the ride etc. It was very sincere and we definitely appreciated the help. As far as the ride - it was done very professionally. Our pilot was Mark and he had lots of great info to tell about the sights and the island itself. He had answers to all of our questions and he was a very smooth pilot even on a windy day that we had. He turned the helicopter around on several occasions to allow everyone to see the falls and coastline from all angles (and all seats). We loved the sights, the information given and were lucky to have a sunny (though windy) day. And just as a little side note - we were sitting in the back row, seats #4, #5 and #6 and had no issues with seeing outside. Everyone on the flight was wearing dark clothing which definitely helped to reduce the glare for photos and the helicopter windows were spotlessly clean - not a speck of dust showing up in my images. :) Good job, cleaning crew!

The ECO star helicopter had great views from all seats. Our teenagers had the front whilst my husband and I had one side and one middle seat. Windows were large for great views. Our pilot Mark was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the commentary. Felt it was a very professional and safe company. Recommend booking for early in your trip in case weather means you have to reschedule. This happened to us and we rescheduled for 3 days later. That was no problem for us, but would be if it was the last day of your trip.

I was a little worried about this because some of the reviews stating there are bad seats. There are NO bad seats, or maybe it depends on your pilot? We were seats 1 and 2 and there were people in the back. Our pilot was Jason and he made sure everyone in the helicopter got a good view of everything. He asked everyone repeatedly if they got a good look- even the child sleeping in the back hahaha. He hovered and turned the aircraft slowly and took his time. I was impressed, especially since he was running behind due to a mechanical issue. I would highly recommend this tour of Kauai. It was amazing and breathtaking. It is expensive, but, if you're able to afford it then DO IT. It is worth the cost.

First helicopter ride was smooth as could be. Good preflight check in. Pick up at the port included. Pilot Brian made this a wonderful experience. The weather was very good so we saw a lot. Very comfortable equipment. Looked to me to be the best of competitors available. We bought the video because your camera inside the craft just can’t capture the beauty.

We took the Kauai ECO Adventure Helicopter tour with BueHawaiian and Pilot Brian today - and still are excited. I never will forget the unforgettable views of Kauai and its amazing landscape. Highlights of the trip were Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon and the flight into the crater of the volcano. Brian was a very competent, cheerful pilot with great knowledge of the island. You could feel every second, that he loves the island and his job. The Ecostar helicopter was modern with a good view from every seat. Enjoyed every minute of it - and would do it again when I'm coming back to the island.

You have to do this. Great pilot and smooth ride. The headphones keep the sound low and make it easy to hear and talk to the pilot. Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever done. I wouldn’t take kids between 1-9 or so because they might get scared and then you couldn’t focus on the absolutely AMAZING scenery. The pilots knowledge of the area and history added so much to the experience too. He also made sure everyone got a good view of the important stuff. The cost was well well worth it.

We had a great flight with our pilot Miguel. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see the entire island. Thanks Miguel Steve

We were on the cruise ship Pride of America. I was looking to take a helicopter ride in Hawaii. I decided to take the one in Kauai and glad I did. Pilot Beth was great and she answered any questions that were asked. Her knowledge of the island was excellent. She flew right into the volcano great sight to see. Totally enjoyed this ride and would recommend Blue Hawaiian to anyone looking to take a helicopter ride in Kauai.

Seeing Kauai via a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour is breathtaking. We all know Hawaii is beautiful but seeing the waterfalls, canyons, cliffs and beaches from the air really brings home the beauty and majesty of this place. The pilot, Barret, was knowledgeable and fun.

Easy to book online a few days in advance and accommodated a request in time change for my flight. Pilot was great! The flight was so much smoother than the last time I was on a helicopter. Not only was the ride great but our pilot pointed out some interesting things and was knowledgable about the island. Would definitely recommend!

We had an excellent time with pilot Greg. He cheerfully delivered interesting information (he is very knowledgeable) through our ride and kept it fun and engaging. He went above and beyond, tight maneuvering to get up close and even saw a full circle rainbow (didn’t know it was possible). Great perspectives on the island and highly recommend!

It was expensive but very worth it! You get to see all of the island. We were on Kauai for two weeks so we got to see a lot of the areas by other means (boat, driving, etc) but you get a much better/closer view via helicopter. The helicopter itself was very nice and clean. We went as a family with kids aged 7 & 12 and we all loved it. If you don’t have many days to visit Kauai this would be the thing I would recommend to do. Also, we got the video of the tour and glad we did. Our pilot Matt was excellent.

This is a MUST DO! The most unbelievable scenery you will ever see! Kauai is a very quiet island with breathtaking scenery. This is your chance to see everything. Be aware that I took a Dramamine and I still got sick! If you have bad motion sickness, please take Dramamine or something stronger. Our pilot (Miguel) was excellent as well.
