Jason was our pilot and seemed to handle the helicopter well, however he was not much for talking and leaned toward sarcasm. I asked him about the lava tour boats, and he told me he didn't know, he wasn't in charge of boats. We had been hearing a lot on the local news about permits and rough rides and boat collisions for two weeks. The ride was mostly over water and we did not learn anything much of interest about the villages, flora, history of the countryside, or recommendations about where to go or what to do. He told us to ask questions but answered very briefly. He was abrupt with the kids and suggested we talk amongst ourselves if we wanted. Really? The cabin was extremely warm, and while we did get to see the lava from the tube flow into the water, he said the clouds prevented him from flying closer to the caldron, and he told us it was illegal to fly over the waterfalls, but our friends in another copter were flown over a couple of falls. I was not impressed. For so much money he could have one so much better.

Our family had never been in a helicopter so we splurged on this trip. We had an excellent woman pilot who was very safe. She took us to the Napili coast where we saw humpback whales in the ocean (February). She was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of history and information. We had 2 way headsets on to communicate with her. We also flew into a dormant volcano and through the Waimea Canyon. Beautiful! After, they offer a video to buy of your trip. You can also take your own pictures and they will take one for you with your camera and the helicopter. $250 each plus there are envelopes for tips and comments after your trip. My only complaint is that I don't think the trip lasted the advertised 50-55 minutes unless you include the training on land.

Amazing!!! Experience of a lifetime! Jack even found a whale for us!:)

It was awesome, the pilot was entertaining and informative, the staff were helpful and the entire experience was very very cool.

Just Awesome what a view great comentary

My wife and I are quite fortunate - having traveled all over the USA, the world and even lived overseas twice due to my employment. We have had many truly amazing experiences. Me - I love adventure and have flown in helicopters numerous times (for work in the Oil/Gas industry offshore and for pleasure). This trip over Kaua'i runs very high on my list (up there with dogsledding in Finland, motorcycling from DFW to Seattle and experiencing the Aurora Borealis outside Fairbanks, Alaska). Okay. Enough background. Why should you take this trip? If you also love adventure and/or simply want to experience the incredible natural beauty of Kaua'i with soothing, appropriate music and narrative thrown in, this hour is well worth the high cost. I am a large man (6 feet, five inches and 300+ pounds) which meant that I had to pay about a 50% premium for a a "comfort seat" (vacant adjacent seat). Blue Hawaiian flies the Echostar (considered by many to be the best touring helicopter) which means there are two passenger seat in front beside the pilot and four on an elevated level in rear. Turns out my wife and I both had window seats in rear with nobody in the middle two seats. All seats do have great views though. All passengers wear headsets for noise suppression and to hear the pilot and other passengers, Shared microphones allow the passengers and pilot to all communicate (when safe flying operations permit). Our pilot was Brodi - buddy - can I arm wrestle for your career? This man is born of Hawaiian mother (Oahu) but grew up on Kaua'i. His local knowledge and delivery are truly impeccable. Ask for him by name. He is a true "gem". Safe, Informative and entertaining. And his selection of Hawaiian music (including Iz) and Jurassic Park made the trip more enjoyable. The incredible natural beauty of the Napali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Mount Maualeale and others that I simply cannot recall, province or spell (LOL) are truly beyond words. Go experience it yeeself. One final point - I spent two hours researching 5-6 helicopter operators on Kaua'i (Jack Harter, Safari, Sunshine, ...) including safety stats, aircraft flown, costs, duration and other factors. I would encourage you to do the same. I concluded that Blue Hawaiian was the best fit for us and I have absolutely no regrets,. We also purchased both the personalized DVD of our specific flight and a generic Blue Hawaiian DVD from BH flights on Kauai, Oahu, Hawaii and Maui. Brodi - thank you sir. Keep doing what you were meant to do. Help folks like us to enjoy this incredible place called Kaua'i. Mahalo. Aloha.

Brian was an excellent pilot and guide. Fantastic tour of Kauai. Beautiful!

Great time flying over the island. Pilot provided a descriptive tour and was fun to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone interested in seeing Oahu from the skies with a much better view than an airplane.

Great time! Awesome views! Fantastic tour guide and highlights!

The trip was breathtaking. Absolutely amazing. Beth was wonderful!!!

WONDERFUL!

Our pilot, Beth, was excellent. She was not only a fantastic pilot, but was also extremely knowledgeable about the topography and geography we were flying over. In addition, she was super-patient with our hyper-curious five-year-old and terrified toddler.

We had an amazing time on the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour of Kauai. Some of the most beautiful parts of the island are inaccessible by car, so a boat or helicopter are the only ways to experience them. Our pilot, Beth, was super knowledgeable and passionate about the island's history. Wear dark clothing, as they suggest, so you don't have reflections in your photos.

The tour was a fantastic experience and Scott was a great pilot. His commentary was awesome and his music selection perfect. Everything was comfortable (except that the seatbelts could have used some padding on the neck) and superbly organized.

Fantastic. First time for us. Jeremy was an awesome pilot and guide.
