Our pilot Chris was awesome! As a local, it’s great to see our home from a different perspective!
The pilot, Chewy (aka David) was terrific, helicopter was great, customer service was great, even re-scheduling our party of 4 for a later date when the weather moved in and our planned tour would be less than ideal. However, the experience was disappointing overall. We asked about a tour that would give us the best chance of seeing the active volcano. They gave us the usual disclaimers (there was no guarantee of seeing lava) but they did not clarify there was no intention of actually venturing near the active crater. It would have been more forthright to simply explain that this was not a tour of the active volcano. We saw the landscapes formed by past eruptions and learned tons from our pilot guide, and if you wish to spend $2,000 for your family to see and hear that in a helicopter, this would be the way to do it. If you want to see the volcano, go to the state park for $30 for a much better experience. If they had been more forthcoming about the tour, I would not have done it, and I can't help but suspect there was a little bit of intentional obfuscation for that reason. I also purchased the video on a USB drive for an extra $100 only to discover that 2 of the 6 files were corrupted. Highly recommended if you have minimal expectations and a lot more money than I do! But unfortunately, I feel there are many other options available on the Big Island offering better value for time and money.
Highly recommend 10/10! Definitely one of a kind experience in Kauai! Super welcoming and professional crew. It was the safest helicopter ride. It was my first time and it’s totally worth it! Arrive on time and bring tips! :) If you will arrive early you can pay for an upgrade, 2 people in front ( the best seats for taking photos/video). Not scary at all, only little nervousness during taking off, flight is smooth. Just follow instructions and you will be fine. Obviously do not touch anything, if you drop something let the pilot know. You share microphone in front and in the back. Sit still and enjoy the ride! I would only phone and put sunglasses on, wear comfortable clothes. I would totally get the cabin off option next time and it was waterfall stop, more adventurous and fun. Love their office and location, everyone were exceptional at their work.
Very nice crew... Excellent tour 5 stars!
We took the helicopter tour of Kauai and had a great time! Our pilot, Alex, was excellent and very informative. I would definitely recommend this helicopter tour!
James is an excellent pilot and tour guide!
Great experience. Well organised, nice people, safe, great explanations off scenery during the tour... all excellent. Our Pilot was Alex. He had a very impressive knowledge of the island and all his comments during the flight were very valuable and interesting.
We had an awesome and great experience on Blue Hawaiian’s helicopter ride! My wife m, son and daughter really loved it! We totally recommend it to anyone wanting the ultimate experience in Maui! It was worth it!! Mahalo!!
Incredible! About amazing to see Maui from up top. Everyone is so kind. A must for anyone visiting.
What a wonderful trip ! Loved our Pilot Nilsand my goodness, the ground tram was fantastic ! All my fears quickly left as soon as we lifted out, and the magic of the flight began ! An incredible air journey high above the island, to see a POV we would never ever see this by car or walk!
Very professional set up at Blue Hawaii Helicopters from check-in to disembarking. Ground staff were friendly and Pilot gave light-touch relevant commentary without constant bombardment of facts and figures. Flight was very smooth and the scenery is utterly stunning! A must do trip on Kauai as lots of the island (and the most extraordinary sights) are inaccessible by any other transport. Would highly recommend.
Great trip, great attention to detail and safety. All the staff are brilliant. Flew over where all the films are produced, Waikiki beach, pearl harbour and plenty in-between. Good value.
We thoroughly enjoyed it! The 2 hr tour was just the right amount of time. Our pilot, Kai, was knowledge and informative. A definite "must" for first time visitors!!
Cool experience, but expensive. Could have received a coffee mug for the price.
Great experience, would recommend to everyone visiting Hawaii on a short visit!
