I highly recommend these guys to anyone who can afford to do a helicopter tour. I booked online in advance to get a discounted rate. And cost the 2 of us just over 400 US. The staff were professional and lovely. We had Jonathan for our helicopter pilot, he was so knowledgable about all the sights and we got to see much more of the island than we would have otherwise. They will also pick up from the hotel on request. The bus driver was new the day we went and you could tell but was better even by that afternoon. They also do tours of the other islands of Hawaii. All in all a great time.
It was expensive but it was worth it. Make sure you take at least a 45 minute ride. Of course, bring your camera. Pilot was very knowledgable and helpful. Helicopter was very nice.
Wow, just...wow. Fantastic experience. Worth every penny! Our pilot Barrett was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. This is a must-do for any Kauai visit.
With only 3 nights on Kauai, we wanted to make the most of our visit. Our concierge recommended Blue Hawaiian Helicopters as the best way to see most of the island and the waterfalls. We've always wanted to go on a helicopter, and taking in the sights of Kauai was a wonderful first time experience. Breathtaking scenery, clean and comfortable helicopters, and a crew that was friendly and professional. Highly recommend. The hour long ride was over far too soon.
We were advised that BH was the best company to use for helicopter rides in Kuaui, and i must say that they really stand behind their product, and senior management will do their utmost and beyond to ensure that you have an excellent experience with them. I would highly recommend them as i have found that they stand behind their company.
My husband, myself and our 2 teenagers (18 and 16) agreed that our Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai was the favorite part of our trip to Hawaii. From the moment we walked into their facility we were so impressed with their professionalism and the obvious pride and enjoyment that the staff had in their jobs. They went out of their way to prepare us for what to expect, and to make sure we were comfortable with how the boarding process would work. Once we were on-board, our pilot Brad did an excellent job making us feel safe and showing us Kauai's unbelievable beauty from a perspective that only a helicopter could give us. I forgot to be nervous! The scenery was just incredible, you will not be disappointed. The helicopter landing was so gentle - that also surprised me. Thank you again Brad and Blue Hawaiian, we loved it!
This is a great way to see the island of Kauaʻi, in particular the Nā Pali Coast and the Waimea Canyon. Our helicopter was sleek, modern and comfortable with excellent visibility, and limited to 6 passengers. Our Pilot/Guide Craig was very informative and engaging with all 6 passengers. In addition, he gave us great advise on what else to do on the island and on how to cope with the pending arrival of Hurricane Iselle. Not cheap, but well worth doing once. For an additional $26 you can get a DVD recording of your trip. Why 4 and not 5 stars? The DVD quality is good (SP) but would be so much better if shot in HD!
Nothing they could do any better! Our wonderful pilot Geoff made the flight unforgettable! Absolutely recommendable - thanks for this memorable experience to our 25th anniversary!
Great tour, we really enjoyed. it. You will see a lot of the island that is not acceptable any other way.
My husband and I were first time helicopter riders and we felt so safe and comfortable with Vince. The check in area was so clean and comfortable and the staff was very professional. What a wonderful way to see the island! We liked this tour so much that we used Blue Hawaiian when we went to the Big Island!
We reserved Blue Hawaiian based on the recommendation of "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook". The Guidebook was spot on with their recommendation. Recommend that you purchase this before you visit any of the islands. The guidebook listed Blue Hawaiian as their #1 for helicopter tours. Brad was our pilot for Blue Hawaiian. Brad was a great pilot and guide/narrator. The tour was breath taking. The helicopter is designed to give good views; however, Brad very proactive to ensure that everyone got the best view of the waterfalls, canyons, and craters = meaning that everyone got to see just as equal as the passengers in front, the right, and left side of the helicopter. Very comfortable ride, air conditioned. Be sure to follow Blue Hawaiian's recommendations by not wearing white or light- colored clothing. Recommend leaving the shining jewelry at home/hotel so that the reflections do not interfere with your picture taking. We have returned back home already, yet our two daughters are still talking (excited) about the helicopter tour.
One of the Most Beautiful and Amazing flights ever!!!! The Island of Kauai, known as the Garden Isle-when you visit this Island-I Highly recommend this flight. Why? Because, you'll see the best of the best scenic views ever!! The beautiful Waimea Canyon, the Spectacular Napali Coast line, Wailua Falls, also the pilot will point out locations where the filming of Jurrasic park took place, and more. You'll feel totally in a hypnotic state with the Beauty of this Flight and what it has to offer. My pilots name was Marty-very informative, and better yet your flight is being video taped all through the ride. So your able to purchase your video after your flight is done. True Awesomeness!!!!
Their two hour tour is worth the time and money. You get to fly over the entire big island and see all of the sights from above. From lava to the waterfalls of the rain forests, this heli-tour has it all.
I know helicopter tours aren't that environmentally friendly and all that but this is one experience that it is worth putting aside your concerns and just enjoying. Did the volcano tour and the added landing at the base of an amazing waterfall on the coast. All the staff were excellent and the pilot was great - full of knowledge and friendly. There were a couple of girls (8 & 4) on the tour and the pilot took time to talk specifically to them at their level and checked up on everyone often. A must do and this company cant be faulted
Yes this is not a cheap tour. I had first balked at the cost (circa $230 per person), and then reconsidered it. I am so glad I did. It was well worth the experience. This was our first time in a helicopter, and the views of Oahu from the air were breathtaking. The flight above the winward side of the island was amazing seeing the forested mountains in great detail. The highlight of the trip was the close-up flight to Sacred Falls (I think). It felt like being in a movie. My son and I had huge wide grins on our faces. The flight over the USS Arizona Memorial was also a great experience. Our pilot Adam was very courteous and professional. I envy his job :) The rest of the staff was very friendly and that greatly added to the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
