Brody... thank you so much ... that was a wonderful experience and I appreciate the way you brought us into the conversation... Thank you for the history and the knowledge.
Brody was awesome! His passion for the island was amazing and the fabulous weather allowed us to see some spectacular sights! Would highly recommend!
We really enjoy the Blue Hawaiian helicopters & all the staff
Our tour was excellent. Scott, our pilot, was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided us a smooth flight. We saw active lava flows and my sons thought that was particularly awesome! We were also able to see some beautiful waterfalls as well as the Hilo area. Fascinating trip overall and would recommend it highly.
This was an INCREDIBLE tour!! Brody was an excellent guide - very informative! Would do this again if I had the time!
Thanks so much to Captain Brodie for a wonderful flight around the incredible Kauai. The views were breathtaking, more than I could have imagined, and Brodie's narration of the various points of interest were thoughtful and well delivered. Thanks Brodie, we'll be sure to recommend you to anyone we know who chooses to visit your beautiful island! Maholo and Aloha. Carly & Oliver (and bump!)
Brandon said to do the bad reviews under Brenden. :) Ill file this one under Brandon. Great flight Great Pilot Great ground staff. Thanks for a lovely time Fiona
Great fun. I suggest that you provide dark-colored, mesh, pull-overs for passengers to wear over light-colored clothing. Only complaint would be the great deal of glare off the window from the passenger in front of us. It made taking pictures difficult without the glare of his bright shirt and the glare from the PFD's buckles.
Brandon was fantastic! Thanks for an amazing trip.
Brody did a very good job handling the aircraft, and explaining the island at the same time. It was unique and I would definitely do it again.
Brody was a great guide. His ability to fly made my nervousness completely disappear. I appreciate the combination of history and seeing the beauty of Kauai. This is a GORGEOUS island by air! Thanks so much!
My wife, and another couple all went on a Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai. None of us had ever been on a helicopter before, and while excited there were also some nerves. Every employee at Blue Hawaiian is professional and takes safety very seriously. When we booked the reservations a few months ago we requested to all ride together in the same helicopter, and they were more than happy to meet that request. The ride was outstanding!! Very smooth, not bumpy at all, headsets are comfortable and the pilot did a remarkable job talking about the island and giving us a great ride in the valleys, craters, etc! It was amazing, and well worth the money!! We chose Blue Hawaiian based on referrals from friends, and we are glad we chose them!! The CD is optional for $25, and we love it! We've watched it a couple times already since coming home. Have Fun! ALOHA!
Well worth a trip. Friendly staff and a pilot who knew all about the island... A must do experience on Kauai. We loved it!!
Four of us took the 2-hour tour of the Big Island with Noah and were very impressed. The equipment was comfortable and the views were amazing! Noah was a great tour guide; low key, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I was most interested in the volcanoes and was not disappointed. We got to see lava flowing into the sea. Noah circled so that everyone got good pictures and had time to soak it all in. We did not get to fly as close to the currently active crater (Halemaumau) as I would have liked but I suspect that had more to do with air space restrictions than Blue Hawaiian. This is a truly delightful way to see the island! The only reason I have not given them 5 stars is that we were not given the opportunity to have pictures taken with the helicopter, in spite of having been told we would before we took off. When we asked as we were deplaning, the woman who was escorting us from the aircraft was a bit snippy and said she knew nothing of that promise, had not been told we wanted to have our pictures taken by the aircraft and hurried us into the building. Another employee was more accommodating but by the time we went back to the pads, the helicopter we had been on had departed for refueling, so our pictures are of the A-Star, a different helicopter than the one we took for our tour, which was the Eco-Star. A small issue, admittedly, but when you pay hundreds of dollars for an experience like this you expect a bit more. The only other issue I had was that we were about 10 minutes late leaving because they brought in the EcoStar for us rather than the smaller A-Star, and while that was very nice of them to do (especially since the EcoStar is more expensive to rent), they did not make up the time in the air. Again, a small item, and overall we really had a great time and we would highly recommend it to anyone!
My husband and I went on the 2-hour Big Island Spectacular, and it was amazing. We paid a little extra for the Eco-star helicoptors; although i don't know the different between the A-star and Eco-star, the Eco-star was comfortable, great view, and not in the least bit bumpy! Our pilot, Toshi, was funny, experienced, and had a wealth of information that made the trip exciting and informative. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Big Island! We also bought the $25 DVD at the end of the trip, and it was well worth it!
