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!

This was a big splurge for us. We had to pay for a "comfort seat" because my husband was over the weight limit. So, we paid a high price for this experience. However, I wouldn't have missed it for anything. We were both hesitant because neither one of us had ever been in a helicopter. However, as soon as the helicopter took flight, we forgot about our fears and were mesmerized for the hour we were in the air. Our pilot was excellent at pointing out landmarks and giving us information about the island. We were given microphones so that we could ask the pilot questions. I couldn't ask even one because I was rendered completely speechless. My jaw dropped when I saw the shoreline, the mountains, and the waterfalls. We got so close that I felt like I could reach out and touch the cascading waterfalls. We even flew right through the complete circle of a rainbow (which I never even knew existed!). I was in tears for much of the flight because I had never experienced anything that overwhelming. Now I know there is a heaven and I have seen it! We purchased the DVD of our trip. No, the quality of the film isn't perfect and viewing it isn't the same as being on the flight. But, when we watched it, I was reminded of the emotions and feelings I had during our experience. It was, after all, worth every penny!

This is a good company! They went out of their way in customer service. Pilot did a good job and Blue Hawaiian flys the best helicoptors! Hawaii is an awesome place to take a helicoptor flight.

We really enjoyed the helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian. The helicopter was very comfortable & we felt very safe with our pilot, Steve. Riding in the helicopter was not scary at all & felt smoother than being in an airplane. The views were great & the waterfalls flowing down the Waialeale crater was an amazing sight. We saw several whales off the Napali coast & Steve made sure to fly around each sighting a few times to make sure we all got a chance to see. The glare on the glass does affect some of the photos from the backseat, but that didnt bother me since I was already planning to go ahead & buy the video of our flight for $30.00. I would definitely recommend Blue Hawaiian for anyone who is planning on taking a helicopter tour & will always remember this trip fondly for the rest of my life.

great views. fun adventure. i can see how your seating assignment can make a difference. we were lucky and got assigned to sit in the front. it felt like it was just us and the pilot! the poeple in the back seemed to enjoy it as well. we thought it was a great way to view the entire island. i can also see how the weather on that day can make a difference. i guess we just got lucky! our pilot was great and made it an interesting flight! bring a camera!!!

What an amazing experience! Our pilot was courteous, friendly, and showed us the gems of Kauai. The entire staff at Blue Hawaiian was professional and treated our family well. They were safety oriented without being overbearing (they had an infant life jacket and noise-canceling headphones for our 10 month old and a child life jacket for our 3 year old). I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian to anyone visiting Kauai.

If you don't take a helicopter tour of Kauai, you will not get the whole picture of the island. Even if you take a boat tour of the Napali Coast, you'll not truly experience it until a Blue Hawaiian pilot has taken you so close you feel you could reach out and touch it! We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend it to everyone. They will weigh you (yes, put you on the scales - but no one will see and they won't even tell you) and select your seating based on the distribution of weight. Please don't take your children. You'll either disembark the chopper carrying a vomit bag, or your child will have a very expensive nap, as one of our pilots suggested. No one likes to be stuck in a small space with a vomiting child -- neither a parent nor a fellow traveler! And you'll enjoy the experience more. I think a precocious eight-year old or older would love it - as long as motion sickness is not a possibility. Don't forget your cameras and do follow their instructiosn to wear dark clothing. Bare legs and light clothes will cause reflections in everyone's photos.

Fantastic helicopter tour. Our pilot Barrett was very informative during the flight and local as well! Made several passes of important sights (Napali coast, certain waterfalls). The only way to see most of this island. Definitely do it again!

I chose Blue Hawaiian because of the safety ratings. The entire process was efficient. Our pilot, Andy, was good at narrating the journey, and I really enjoyed the music that was synched up to the different locations we saw. It's definitely a MUST DO when in Kauai, since you see things that you're never going to see otherwise. Seeing the waterfalls and Waimea Canyon up close was amazing!

We cruised the Hawaiian Islands with Norwegian Cruise Lines (Pride of America) and one port of call was the island of Kaua'i. We took the opportunity to do the Hawaiian Blue helicopter tour of the island. The flight was approximately 50 minutes and was comprehensive. The pilot was extremely knowlegable and and personable. What a beautiful island this is, most of it being privately owned. The day was overcast with occassional showers, however, this didn't stop the pilot from flying us into the crater of the extinct volcano - the sight in there was breathtaking (even the pilot hadn't seen it like this) - we were below the rim of the crater and the low cloud, and there were 44 waterfalls, cascading from the clouds - the pilot said there was normally 20 - 25 waterfalls at any one time. The atmosphere was surreal, one would have thought that dinosaurs would still be wandering through the jungles below. We highly recommend the Hawaiian Blue helo trip, money well spent, and we were fortunate to strike the crater on the day that we toured. You need a couple of hours to take in the safety brief, travel to/from the airfield and the trip itself. We had a disabled lady in our group and the crew assisted her on/off the helo and she enjoyed it thoroughly.

So everyone is a bit nervous and Barret our pilot is doing lines like he's a radio DJ. Making subtle jokes and keeping up a cool narative. "Here we go!" he says as we take off from Lihue Airport. We cruise over the ridge of some nearby mountain range and we're really close to the mountain and you can really see things since this helicopter has excellent views even below your feet. I was sitting directly in front on the right side. We head out toward the Canyons and have great views of Waimea Canyon and then on to the Na Pali coast. As you get to the point where the Pacific Ocean meets the Na Pali cliffs the theme song from 2001: A Space Odyssey blares over the PA system. We heard a lot of Enya too. We fly into some steep valleys really close to the canyon walls and I see another helicopter that looks like an ant. You really have an unusual perspective in a helicopter because you're used to seeing things from the ground and the view from above is disorienting. You can't really judge sizes. Then we fly on to Hanalei Bay and then into the interior to see the biggest and rainiest mountain on Kauai. They say it rains here more than any other place on Earth (you know, the planet we live on). Barret makes more jokes and asks the passengers personal questions. I make a funny comment and he says he's glad someone is getting with the humor. We then fly back to Lihue Airport. The weather was great and the scenery was really magnificent! I also liked the irridescent blue color of the helicopter. My girlfriend and my nephew and his girlfriend were also on board. I'm glad it was a safe trip or it would have wiped out most of our family.

Did the trip in 09 with this company and I can't get it out of my mind 3 years later. Our flight was from Kauai and it was spectacular to say the least. It was my wife and my first helicopter flight and man we picked the one to do. Seeing the Napali Coastline, Waimea Canyon, Jurassic Falls and many other great sights it was one great trip. Many say it’s too much to pay for an excursion but if we would have left Kauai and not seen the island by air it would have been a shame. Our pilot was knowledgeable of the area and made us very comfortable. Blue Hawaiian helicopters are a 1st class organization and I'd do it again in a minute.

We had a great tour. I had never been in a helicopter before, but it was really smooth and an amazing way to see some of the inaccessible sites of the island. Expensive, but worth it and I'd definitely recommend for others. Also, our pilot Vincent was great - he's flown Apaches, so I figured we were in good hands. :) Hope to do it sometime again.

We booked Blue Hawaiin on line prior to our cruise on the Pride of America. Their office is a 10 minutes walk from the dock, where they get you ready before the short bus trip to the airport. Everything went smoothly for us nervous first timers, we couldn't have been happier or enjoyed it more. As advised on their website we both wore dark clothing to avoid relections on the windows, and whilst seating is allocated by weight we both had front seats and noticed on other flights that it was generally people in dark clothing given these seats. One disappointment is the quality of the dvd, which really doesn't do justice to the memory of what we experienced. Still worth the extra $25 though. Highly recommended.
