I had an awesome time. Even got to fly with my old army friend Kristi thank you for an awesome experience!!!!!!!!!

We seen amazing views with our friendly pilot Brody. It is well worth the money!

Un des plus beaux moments de ma vie ! Premier vol en hélicoptère malgré ma peur des hauteurs, inoubliable ! Des paysages à couper le souffle, le tout sur de jolies musiques de fond ! 45 minutes de pur bonheur ! Nous avons acheté la clé USB pour la modique somme de 35.00 $ afin de pouvoir revivre notre visite à volonté depuis notre salon...

Awesome people and views!

Great tour! From the pickup at the airport to the briefing at their office before going to the helicopter to the tour itself. Everything was great and professionally handled. Be aware you will be paying a comfort fee if you are over 250 lbs (most helicopter companies do this) but they heavily discounted it. Our pilot was Lauren. Great guy. Very funny. Don't forget to take some nausea medicine if you tend to feel woozy when flying. They sell some Dramamine at their office. All in all, great experience and you get to see some fabulous sights.

En helt fantastisk upplevelse. Vi blev hämtade vid hotellet och kanonfin service. Vår helikopterpilot var påläst och gjorde flygturen till ett äventyr.

My husband and I recently returned from our 5 year anniversary trip to Hawaii. We visited Maui (5/12 – 5/16) and Kauai (5/16 – 5/20) and decided well in advance that we would do the helicopter tour in Kauai. All of the guidebooks pointed us to this decision (Kauai Revealed is a great resource!) and when we were at the Blue Hawaiian office checking in, they reconfirmed our decision. Kauai is best explored by helicopter! My husband and I get seasick and motion sick, so we took some non-drowsy Dramamine an hour before our flight took off. That worked perfectly for us. The check in at the office was seamless. Once you check in and get weighed (probably the scariest part!) the computer randomly generates seating assignments. You are also briefed on safety and watch a safety video. Shortly after the video, we were shuttled over to the airport for take off! We were lucky enough to be placed in the front row of our helicopter! I am not familiar with helicopters and don’t have much to compare this one to, but it was gorgeous! All of the flights on Kauai use the Eco-Star with tiered seating so everyone gets a great window view. The noise cancelling headphones were great and the theme music was a nice touch. We flew with pilot Jimmy and he was fantastic. He had a very “National Geographic” narrator type of voice and was very knowledgeable about the island. He kept prompting us to ask questions but to be honest I was in such a stupor from the gorgeousness of the island that I was speechless! The first valley we went into was so breathtaking I almost cried. It was really beautiful. We were really lucky with the weather that day. We took a 10 am flight and it was cloudy and rainy when we were in the middle parts of the island. We were able to make it all the way in, but they said they had to cancel several flights the prior afternoon. It’s really all dependent on the weather; the company rather reschedule your trip then subject you to dangerous travel conditions. In summary, we really enjoyed our helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters with pilot Jimmy and would absolutely recommend this as the NUMBER ONE activity to do on Kauai!

I decided to splurge and take a Helicopter tour while in Kauai. I kept going back and forth about spending the money (around $200) for the tour. I am so GLAD I did. This was without a doubt the highlight of my trip. Our pilot (Andy) was great and the views for the helicopter was undescribable. It was absolutely gorgeous!!!!! The Na Pali Coast was my favorite. DO IT and spend the money. Ask for a AAA discount if you have AAA. Blue Hawaiian was professional and I would highly recommend the company!!!

My wife and I took the first flight of the morning on a Blue Hawaiian Eco Star. It was a 6 passenger helo with personal headphones for each pass. to hear the pilot's discussion and every two pass. shared a microphone to talk to the pilot. We took BH primarily because they had an early flight with seating availablity. We paid $203/person. BH advertised the flights are 50-55 mins. but our flight only lasted, from take off to touch down, 47 mins. I also noticed a competitor flight passing us on our way to our first "view", so I'm not sure if we also were moving a little slower to our destinations than other helo rides. The ride was comfortable and we felt safe. They tell you that their computer chooses (by pass. weight) in which seat you will sit (so they don't have to wrangle with people requesting a window seat). They weigh each pass., give everyone a pre-flight safety briefing about the aircraft at their office, then transport you to/from the airport by van. We flew on an overcast day but the helo's glass windows still caused "reflections" if you are trying to use a camera to shoot the scenery. They told us sunny days were even worse for window reflections. The scenery was a little more difficult to see/take pictures of if you were a pass. in one of the two middle back seats. Pilot's narration of the scenery and island's culture/history was interesting and informative. Many of the helo company's are flying the Eco Star, so I don't think BH has any advantage over most other companies in this respect. Upon return to their offices, BH gives you the option to view and purchase a DVD ($25) of your flight in which they have video recorded the scenes of the island you just flew over and views of the helo's cabin showing you/other pass. and the questions/conversations that transpired while you were touring in the helo. Overall, we enjoyed our BH helo tour, but wonder if we saw everything we could have since we seemed to be flying slower and arrived somewhat early to our landing. Be careful with pricing when looking for a helo tour. Many helo companies quote you a low price, but then you find out later that the price they quoted doesn't include taxes and fees which jumps the price sometimes $20-40. BH did not do this as they quoted us what we paid. We enjoyed the helo tour with BH, I'm just not sure it gives you any more than any other competitor and I was a little disappointed in the viewing time promised and what we actually received.

Took the 50 minute flight last month and found this to be the most thrilling and beautiful excursion we experienced while on Kauai. Our pilot Mike, was very good -making sure that people sitting on either side of the helicopter were able to get a great view and take pictures. It was nice to hear hawaiian music as we flew around. Mike was very informative about the island and invited you to ask questions during the flight. Well worth the money....highly recommend the ride over Kauai as it is such a beautiful island.

We have flown on BH at the Big Island and on Maui, so we went to the one on Kauai as well. Great experience, covering the whole island in about an hour. Only downside is that, unlike the other islands, you have to take a bus to the heliport. But it's a great way to see Waimea Canyon, Na Pali, and Niihau as well as some of the incredible waterfalls on Kauai. Our pilot was not all that engaged with us but did a fair job. I go on these trips for the scenery anyway. I also like BH because of the DVD they provide ($25) of your trip. A great experience overall.

A "must do" part of a Kauai vacation is to see the island from the air. We did the helicopter ride (six passengers) and it was informative and gave us a good layout of the island. The pilot was knowlegeable and gave historical information besides describing the terraine. He encouraged questions. Now that we've seen the new "Pirates" movie we recognized parts of Kauai where they filmed. Blue Hawaiian was very well organized.

This is a once in lifetime trip that every visitor to Kauai should take. The views are amazing, the piot (Dean was ours) are very skilled and do a great job narrating the flight. Blue Hawaiian is very professional and the staff were great. We were a bit worried about getting a "bad" seat but in the Eco Star there are none. I was in the back middle and you still everything. The pilot turns the helicopter so each side gets a great view of each feature. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour and flying with Blue Hawaiian. Can't say enough stuff about them and the tour.

On our first full day in Kauai we took the helicopter tour - our first ever. We rode in a very modern helicopter with 5 other passengers and the pilot. We were placed in the helicopter according to weight (it is not announced) and balance so there is no fighting over window seats. The pilot did an excellent job of narrating the trip pointing out highlights and history all over the island. This was my husband's favorite activity all week - saying he doesn't think he would ever get tired of it. The helicopter takes you to places on the island that are only accessible by air. You have an opportunity to buy a DVD of your trip. We did and were delighted to be able to view our trip again and again. Definitely do this early so you get a good feel of the island before you tour it by car and boat.

This company is the one to go with. Phenominal views, our pilot was great and everything ran on time. The DVD of our actual trip of 1 hr was only $25.
