Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Professional staff and wonderful pilot who pointed out all the sights and then some. It was a first ride for all four of us and we left wanting to go again! The location was a little tricky to locate in Lihue as it is in a cluster of stores configured in a round shape. Well worth every penny for such a phenomenal view of the beauty of the island.

Great ride,excellent people. Everyone on the Helicopter has a view of everything. This was the best way to see the island. We will do it again next year.

We couldn't get a late checkout from our resort, so had an afternoon to kill. We called Expedia and they were able to book us last minute on an afternoon helicopter trip with Blue Hawaiian. Travis was our pilot...I was lucky enough to sit front and center! I'm terrified of heights, but this was my second helicopter ride (first time was with Maui-scape in Maui) and this did not scare me at all! The views were amazing and we were able to see the NaPali Coast, which we weren't able to see otherwise because the boats weren't going that way due to the surf/swells. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Kaua'i.

Our pilot was so knowledgeable, made the trip relaxing for first time scarred of heights person. Beautiful

My wife and I enjoyed another Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour. Kevin was our pilot he was fantastic! By far the best way to experience any of the islands ....but Kauai is so beautiful and wild it truly allows you to see it's unspoiled wilderness.

Great way to get your bearings. Seamless checking process with no worry or work on your part.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was a professional service from beginning to end. Dawn, our ex-Coast Guard pilot, was a delight. She not only flew the helo with a calm air of expertise, but acted as an excellent tour guide and camera operator as well. We were in a 7 seater plane (pilot plus 6 guests) and had wonderful views. We flew around the island, into canyons and generally saw the island of Kauai as only birds do. We felt comfortable and safe and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. NOTHING was left to chance or was anything less than perfect in our nearly one hour tour starting at 9 am on a clear blue sky day. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I chose to go on our first helicopter ride in Kauai when we were there in April 2011. It was the BEST decision we could have made and Blue Hawaiian made everything so easy and worry-free. I would normally be very anxious about a helicopter ride, but not once did I feel unsafe or afraid. Our pilot was Stephen, he was great, very laid back and knowledgable. You will never forget this if you do it and it allows you to see the whole island in one hour, not to mention see parts of the island only visible from air or sea. Do not hesitate to take a ride with Blue Hawaiian, you will not be disappointed. We even bought the DVD of our personal helicopter ride so we can relive it at home!!

After reading the trip advisor reviews I was aware of the 'risk' of the heli tour. These tours aren't cheap and can even make or break you trip (especially if your itinerary makes this the highlight of your stay). Blue Hawaiian uses the ECO-STAR chopper which flies faster than those used by other tour operators and may account for the shorter tour lengths, IMO. It seems all the south side heli tours have same itinerary; a clockwise route around the island en route to Waimea Canyon, track out over Palihale to the Napali Coast, then around Princeville and then over to the crater. The problem with this route is that the unfortunate person in the left back doesn't get the same experience as those in the front or right; I heard folks that were in the back saying that next time they'd fly doors off. I was lucky enough to be up front, which gives you a great view but the bubble shape to the front glass isn't kind to picture taking (more reflective). Pictures out the right window were typically clearer however the BRIGHT YELLOW pouch containing our lifebelt was reflected in many shots as we were told to wear them on our right hip. Regarding picture taking, you don't need a big zoom lense as the flight takes you close to what you need to see. Using my DSLR all of my shots were in the 18-70mm range. I took a couple with a 200mm zoom but a bit blurry, even with a VR lense. DON"T TRY TO FOLLOW THE WEATHER FORECASTS TO CLOSELY! This bit several of us in the butt. I booked my flight on-line before arriving and on my first day on the island the forecasters gave a 40-50% chance of rain for my tour the next day and 0-10% for the following day. Well, I called to change my tour and they said they had received many of those requests. Well, you guessed it, at my original flight time I walked out of my hotel to bright skies with scattered clouds and on the next day intermittent showers for several hours. The flight went on, and we saw the coast with mostly flat light and the interior of the islnad was shrouded with clouds. There were 3 and half WOW moments for me: 1-the first time you get a glimpse of the coast from the air (about 2 minutes in) 2-The Napali Cliffts (awesome) 1/2- Waimea Canyon - if I hadn't driven to it a day earlier it would have had more visual impact. When we hiked it, it was sunny. When we flew into it, rainy. Plus they fly into the same area that you can see from the road. 3-Lastly, and most surprising was the flight upto the crater right at the end with about a dozen waterfalls. Even though it was rainy we were below the cloud ceiling with very good upclose views (out the right window). TIP: If you're on the island for more than just a few days, I suggest making your reservation after you arrive. There are deals and specials available at Activity Kiosks (one near JJ's Broiler) with rates much lower than the advertised prices. Not every tour operator participates but if you don't care which operator you choose you can get a great deal and if you end up in the backseat it won't be as upsetting.

We had an afternoon ride with Pilot Joffrey who may have been the most mellow person ever...very chill and calm, which was nice for a first-time helicopter passenger :) He grew up on the island and as a result knew tons of fun and sometimes obscure facts and gave a great running commentary. Whenever there was an especially cool/popular sight such as the "Jurassic Park" falls, Joffrey made sure every side of the helicopter got a good view of it. According to our guidebook, Blue Hawaiian is one of the only (maybe THE only?) tour that uses the Eco-Star helicopters, which are extremely roomy and comfortable. The trip was about an hour in total so we really felt like we saw everything. We would highly recommend this company to other visitors to Kauai...this type of excursion is definitely very pricey, but from what we hear if you pick one island to splurge for this on make it Kauai...the landscape is totally unique, lush, and gorgeous. (Very different from Maui, which is the only other island we have visited.) Thanks Blue Hawaiian for an amazing tour that we will definitely never forget.

Had a wonderful flight with Tobias. Very knowledgeable and a great pilot. Check in staff was friendly and prompt. I whole heartedly recommend blue Hawaiian!

We took this flight on the second day of our 2 week stay on the island. What a great way to get your bearings and plan your vacation! We were greeted by friendly, smiling staff and given safety instructions in a very professional manner. We were then escorted to the helicopter, by van, where we met our pilot, Josh. He had a very calm, confident demeanor that made us immediately comfortable. Wow, this was incredible! Our pilot was very knowledgable about the island and the culture of the Hawaiians, while pointing out special places that people like to go to hike, drive, swim or whatever. He had knowledge of the history and geography of the island and was able to answer all our questions. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

very professional. they had every thing down and figured out.awesome experience. we had booked a flight couple of days before. when we got there it was kinda cloudy.we went up for about a half hour when the pilot reported that the northern part and coast line was socked in with clouds and Vog. so we returned to base. where we were advised that we could either re-book or refund.no worries. we re-booked for the next day.pilots are great,we had music and mics.views are spectacular.pricey but awesome. Don't regret it and wont forget it. DVD was a good deal too$25.they had 3 or 4 cameras, 1 inside the cab so lots of good shots hint- ask when booking to sit up front or right side of pilot better views

We splurged and booked a tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters after a friend used them on the Big Island during their trip 2 years ago. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate enough to sit in the front 2 seats (seating is determined by weight & calculated by their computer). Our pilot was friendly and welcoming. We were staying on Kauai for only 3 days so the helicopter flight gave us a great quick overview. And the views of Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali coast were incredible. You felt as though you were floating over this gorgeous vista. When we come back to Hawaii someday, we will definitely use Blue Hawaiian Helicopters again.

Our Kauai helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian was simply amazing. From our booking experience, to the sign-in process to the actual flight, everything was handled with professionalism. Our pilot Barrett gave our family of five on a trip we will never forget. The sights and views are breathtaking. This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai! The Eco Star helicopters offer a fantastic view from every seat. I think the spacious design and window configuration of the Eco Star allows for the best viewing experience. I sat in one of the back middle seats and got outstanding pictures throughout the trip with my digital SLR camera. Having read many reviews about the coveted right window seat, I was concerned that my experience would be compromised by being seated in the middle, but not once did I feel that way on the flight. Also, I give kudos to pilot Barrett for making a special effort to give the person seated on the back left seat (my husband) an equally enjoyable experience. While it is true that due to the flight route, the right window seats offer a prime view, on several occasions Barrett turned the helicopter around to give my spouse on the left the same view. Also, there are many places you fly over that offer an exquisite from all angles, so the left seat didn't seem as bad as had been described in other reviews. We are very grateful to pilot Barrett for this amazing experience. I would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian for a helicopter tour of Kauai!
