Extremely friendly staff great pilot flying skills and breath taking views! This place is a must for anyone on Kauai.
First off, major kudos to this company for putting their customers' experience first. On the day our helicopter tour was scheduled it was rainy and cloudy. Other companies were still going out, but Blue Hawaiian cancelled the tour, not due to safety concerns but more due to the fact that visuals would not be good. They could have gone out and the tour not be as great, but they decided to reschedule to make sure that we have the best experience. Love that. My recommendation is to plan this tour early in your trip in case it gets cancelled due to cloudy weather so you can reschedule later in the week. Doesn't matter if you book in the morning or the afternoon as Hawaii weather changes by the minute. Regarding our experience on the tour, it was fabulous. We had Marty who said he had 13,000 flying hours clocked in along with 10+ years of experience as a pilot doing various tours and search and rescue - definitely felt safe in his hands especially when I have never been in a helicopter before. The ride was really smooth and Marty was really knowledgeable and personable. The sights we saw were amazing... it was a beautiful clear day and we were taken to places that would be incredibly hard to get to on foot. The tour is pricey but so worth it if you can fit it in.
Awesome!!! I was a little scared but the staff and pilot made me feel at ease. Safety is their #1 priority. The ride was great- pilot Scotty Gee has been flying airplanes and Helios for 25 years. Nice facilities as well. Would recommend 100%!!!
It was very nice. more waterfalls please. thanks!
This company is e trembly well organised and has the most beautiful helicopters on the island. Our pilot, Joffrey, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made this one hour ride very exciting and one to remember forever. It is the definitely best way to see this gorgeous island. Worth every cent!
We have done a helicopter tour of Kauai 5 times since we've been coming to Kauai. This time we lucked out by having a perfectly clear day. Our pilot Brian made the tour even better with his narrative of the tour. Brian took us into the volcano and you could almost touch the walls. The same with the cliffs on the Napoli coast. Just a terrific experience!
Me, my husband and 9 year old son went on this tour and had an amazing pilot/guide (Scott G). Very memorable tour.
If you have never done a helicopter ride before, I highly recommened Blue Hawaiian Helecopters. We left out of Hilo and under the expert navigating of our piolet, Patrick got a breathtaking view of the active Kīlauea volcano as it emptied into the Pacific ocean. The helicopter ride was smooth and while we prepared ourselves by wearing anti-nausea bracelets, I think we would have done just fine without them. Patrick constantly checked in with us and did his very best to give everyone in the helicopter a milion dollar view without making anyone feel sick! In addition to seeing the volcano, we flew over the Puʻu Oʻo crater and also got breathtaking views of waterfalls. There was no bad seat in the chopper and that was because Patrick made sure to fly the chopper in both directions so everyone had a chance at a great view. Overall, fantastic experience that we would definitely do again!
Pilot was very professional and pleasant. Only recommendation is that there is a silver handle on the front passenger side that reflects off the glass. Perhaps covering in black tape may help. Mahala.
The stars are for the helicopter alone.. Great 50 minute flight, the pilot was informative, the views were spectacular, the ride was excellent and the aircraft was well presented and appeared very modern.. WARNING:: If you book online make sure you contact the company by mail or telephone as there are restrictions that don't appear in the online booking process.. One of the restrictions meant that one of our cameras, the iPad, was not permitted on the aircraft so we only carried only one camera between the two of us which meant that we missed out getting pictures of some of the sights.. If we'd been aware of the restriction we would have had something different for recording.. NOT HAPPY!!
Go if you can. Wonderful experience! Safe, smooth, quiet helicopters, and top notch pilots.
Jeffrey was a great Pilot. Had a lot of fun. Will come again. Thanks
Brian was a great tour guide. we really enjoyed ourselves and plan on doing it again. Mahalo!
The flight was amazing! The tour guides have great knowledge over ever sight.
Sean was great. Loved the views!
