Wow that was amazing! Brody was an excellent pilot who gave great tour. He had great insight into the history of the island. A great guy to fly with. One of the best parts of our trip to Kauai.
Wonderful tour, unforgettable sights. Felt like I was flying through movies, seeing parts of my Hawaiian history and sharing them with my new husband. Even got to listen to the song Over the Rainbow that I had walked down the aisle to at my wedding just 5 days ago. Nice touch of talking about the ancient art of hula and burial traditions of old kings. Thank you soo much to our pilot Brodi and Blue Hawaiian!!! -The new Mr. and Mrs. (Kalena and Ajay)
I had a great time, Brodi. Thought you did especially well for your first time in an actual helicopter! I was wondering how the Goddess chose her hula dancers if they weren't automatically selected after 8 years of such entense training. Your love for the Islands really shows, thank you for a great time! Judie
Amazing tour on this beautiful island. A truly breath-taking and magical island. Brodie was fantastic - full of interesting information and personal stories as a native Hawaiian. Thank you for sharing the spirit of Kauai with us!
Thank you Brody for a wonderful time! So educational and beautiful! (Even got a little emotional listening to the history and seeing the beauty!) Thanks again I hope to come back again. -Kelsie & Kayla
We took Kauai tour with Blue Hawaiian and asked for morning tour. They set our tour up with another family of 3 with a child, which was great. No delays, good clean facility and staff was great with our 3 year old son, very pleasant and playful while ensuring he had his life jacket and headphones (I've known people who wouldn't take interest/be rude). Their upbeat attitude added to our and our son's excitement. Reporting time they asked for was fine too, no rush or long wait for the safety briefing and enough time for everyone to go to the bathroom and be comfortable. For the ride, our Pilot Jeff was pleasant and kept going on with the narration but we as a group were a quiet lot/too busy taking photos. He answered all our questions cheerfully. We got very good views of Eastern mountains and Waimea Canyon, but there was not much light on Napali coast. We knew that would be the case since we asked for morning ride - the afternoons can get very rainy, so overall the ride was smooth, interesting and informative. Just near the end, Jeff took us quite close into one of the mountain formations with a waterfall which was very cool! I am sure the open-doors/photographic tour/landing near Jurassic Falls have much more to offer, but given we were with a young child, this was the best option. The staff made sure everyone had pictures with the bird if they wanted, and full videos are available for purchase typically.
Since most of Hawaii Island is not accessible, from the air is the only way your going to see much of it. I flew with Marco and had a great time on the early morning tour right over the military base in the saddle between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea to Kilauea, then to the lava ocean entry, which was a real treat. Restrictions kept the chopper up quite a ways, but it was still an amazing sight. After a brief stop in Hilo we continued up the Hamakua Coast into a valley to see some waterfalls that were really pumping, and then around back to the heliport. The EcoStar helicopter had a lot of window area. I took a black cloth to put over my lap so my khaki shorts, legs, and socks would reflect less when I took pictures and video. I also had a pair of small binoculars, but shouldn't have bothered. The inside still showed up in later more so than I thought they would, so it would have been much worse if I hadn't done that. Anyway, it was a fabulous experience. Seeing it from a helicopter gives a different view than even from an airplane, which I've taken before also.
Brodie....Thank you!!!!! You were VERY informative and have a very soothing voice as you disseminate the info. The tour exceeded our every expectation. Thank you for making this so special!
Magnificent experience we had with Brody! We'll keep a such a nice souvenir of our visit on Kauai with this tour. Our pilot was amazing, communicating information about the island and it's gorgeous landscapes, plus his own and personal comments as being a native from the island. Couldn't ask for a better experience during our family vacation!
One of the most memorable experiences I have ever done ! Special thanks to our pilot Brody, he absolutely loves his home and job ! I'm not sure I will ever get back to this beautiful island but I can say with this tour and Brody, I will remember it forever in my heart ! Thank you for making this vacation a very special one.
Great tour with pilot Rick. He was very knowledgeable and interesting. We all loved it.
Absolutely fabulous, a very moving experience. We had wanted to do this when we came to Hilo. The experience was more than expected. Great Pilot Greg, very chilled and so willing to answer any questions! Awesome Flight Greg and we would certainly recommend this to other people. Many Thanks from us both.
Thank you Brody and the entire Blue Hawaiian crew for a most memorable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and feel blessed to have had Brody as our pilot/guide. Mahalo!
We have been very lucky today. Having Brody as a fantastic pilot and a clear sky which allowed us to see and love the beautiful Kauai Island. Thank you!
Amazing, Brody was the best pilot ever! He explained everything so carefully and detailed that it just made the whole experience amazing! The only recommendation that I have is that whenever anyone is speaking the music should be slightly lowered instead of shut off as the constant speaking of the pilot and resuming of the music became annoying quickly.
