We had a enjoyable experience flying with Blue Hawaiian. I had posted an earlier review and after further research and consideration, I decided to increase my rating to full marks.Their pre-flight safety briefing was very informative. They load the helicopter with military-like precision. Our pilot was ex-military and very friendly. We took this tour notwithstanding that a helicopter crash occurred earlier in the week with another helicopter tour company. This company exceeded our expectations in terms of attention to detail and emphasis on safety. We had a slight delay on our tour due to a malfunctioning headset. It was resolved fairly quickly. My only wish was that we could’ve flown a little closer to some of the sites as we saw several other helicopters flying below us.
A very safe and informative pilot.
Mat was a great host!
One of the most amazing experiences in my life!! What a way to ring in the new year. Ethan was awesome!! Everyone was so pleasant which just made the experience so incredible!!
Fabulous trip and great pilot (Matt) who knows his facts about the eruptions and area
The tour was amazing! Thank you Mark for a safe and informative flight! Happy New Year! Go Seahawks and Mariners!
Wesley was a great pilot..very friendly..we felt safe with him...great time..saw 4 Rainbows ??
Gorgeous ride!!! My family and I did the Hana/Eastern Maui tour ride and loved it. The helicopters are not open door, which was fine by me. For photo taking maybe that's not the best but you can purchase a video of your entire trip (with the pilot's commentary) afterward if you want. Our pilot, Ken, was knowledgeable and gave us a smooth ride. A wonderful experience!!
its good ig but like i dont like to fly
We took a helicopter tour four days after the unfortunate crash of helicopter belonging to another tour company. Our pilot was a consummate professional with military experience. The pre-flight briefing was very thorough and the loading and unloading of the helicopter was done with military precision. I understand our helicopter was new and state of the art for touring. We stayed very high in the air, perhaps understandable given the recent tragic event; however, we observed several helicopters flying well below us and much closer to the stunning scenery of Kauai. Our flight was delayed because a passenger headset didn’t work and it didn’t seem like we got any extra time on the tour. If you want a very safe flight with an extremely reputable company but an average flight experience, I would strongly recommend Blue Hawaiian helicopters.
Among the ultimate thrills in life take place in the air. Because we are not birds, then there is an inherent risk involved and that is what makes it fun and exciting, because you know you're not supposed to be up there. I did this Kauai helicopter tour in June of 2010, and it was a great experience. I went on the first flight of the day which I think is important for the calmest and clearest weather. I also did the blue Hawaiian flight over the volcano on the big island. After reading about a recent crash helicopter crash on Kauai, I realized that I would probably do even more research the next time I took a helicopter flight.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters did an amazing job, from the moment we checked in. I was a bit nervous but Steve our pilot made us comfortable and it was clear from the moment we boarded he was very experienced. It was as if we were floating on top of the world. We did the Ring of Fire Tour and we were able to see things we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. We even flew into a crater! Amazing time and I would highly recommend!
My friend and I both considered this the highlight of our trip. It was amazing to see Diamond Head's crater from above, the Dole plantation, Pearl Harbor and other sites from the air. Our pilot was a good guide and the flight was fun and educational.
I thought Josh was an excellent pilot! He was very knowledgeable and calm throughout the entire flight.
Absolutely fantastic experience, Wesley (our pilot) was great and really knowledgeable, would definitely do it again!
