My husband and I recently took the 55 minute Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour and it was unbelievable! We are both still talking about it! It is the very best way to see the island! We rode in a very spacious Eco-Star helicopter which held 6 passengers and we had two-way communication with the pilot so that we could easily ask questions. Seeing the Napali coastline from the air was an awesome experience. But when we entered the Wai'ale'ale Crater and were surrounded by the magestic waterfalls, we both just gasped with disbelief! Although I cannot compare this helicopter ride to any others since this was my first, I can tell you that it was an extremely comfortable and smooth ride. I have a tendancy for motion sickness but had no problems whatsoever. Our pilot, Barrett, was very knowledgeable and made the flight fun! You are only allowed to bring a camera with you on board. They will keep your pocketbook and other valuables in a locked closet if you so desire. They also make a video of your helicopter ride which you can purchase if you like. We purchased ours and have already watched it several times and relived the experience. Many of the pictures we took while on the ride had glare in them from the windows since none of the windows would open. But overall, I was still pleased with most of the pictures I took. We have not stopped talking about this experience and we highly recommend the splurge! It is well worth it and something you will never forget!

This is a bit pricey experience for a hour of flight but it is worth it. We had pilot Steve who was very nice and kept us informed on all the areas we flew over. We had nice background music going too. The whole thing takes about 2 hrs and you do get to see this beautiful island from the top. Gives you a different perspective. Free parking and storage.

Earlier review of disgruntled customer speaks for itself. They are obviously inexperienced travelers and their opinion that they know more then the pilots about safe flying conditions is laughable. We called the same day for our flight and luckily they had 2 seats. We were told at least twice during the phone call that we would not be allowed to cancel. Excellent customer service when we arrived and having to wait 10 minutes at the airport is not a big deal. Our pilot, Jimmy, was excellent. No matter what seats you have, the flight is breathtaking and the information Jimmy imparts in his unique, laid-back voice is very interesting and informative. I was so in awe of the Na Pali cliffs that I couldn't speak if I had to! Seats were comfortable and even though it's expensive, we feel it's the best bet for your money for an unforgettable experience on Kauai.

Blue Hawaiian saved my disappointed new wife on our honeymoon. Long story short; we originally booked the trike tour with Birds In Paradise but after rescheduling four times due to weather we never made it up with them. Sunday was our last day on Kauai(flight back home was at 10:20 pm) and we still haven't had our tour of Kauai from the air yet. I scrambled to find a helicopter tour that had open spots for us. Luckly Blue Hawaiian had a couple openings. We got lucky again when we arrived at the tour, we got to sit up front. The view from the front seats was terrific. I assume much better than the back row. Blue Hawaiian excuse themselves from the hassle of people requesting to sit in the front by telling passengers that sitting is all based on weight and balance. It was a wonderful and safe way to see the island from the air. The wife was happy. Thanks guys.

My wife, two girls (14 and 12), and I thoroughly enjoyed our flight with pilot Barret. The tour was fantastic. Seeing the Na Pali coast, Waimea canyon, and waterfalls was amazing. The online price was affordable. The helicopter ride itself was very smooth. Barret did a great job of turning the helicopter around so all seats could see the important sites.

Woke early for our helicopter tour. The kids stayed with the in-laws while the wife and I headed to Lihue to the Blue Hawaiian office. We had debated on whether to do a helicopter tour. We did one on the Big Island last year and loved it, but we both got motion sick. It was still the highlight of our trip, but we were weary. The Kauai Revealed book says that “going to Kauai without taking a helicopter flight is like going to the Sistine Chapel and not looking up.” That really resonated with my wife so we decided to give it a shot and boy was it worth it. I wouldn’t say that it’s necessarily a life-altering event, but it was a special experience to share with my wife. We were constantly pointing to different things, couldn’t take enough pics/video, and when you see waterfalls that are seemingly endless, it’s just plain sick. We were able to get clear enough weather to get smashing views of the napali coast, the crater, and the canyon. At points, the helicopter feels like cheating until the pilot told us there was no other way to see what we were seeing. We were very happy with Blue Hawaiian. The craft definitely had comfortable room for 6 and we felt very safe and captain andy did a great job of narrating.

I did my homework on tours on the Island of Kauai. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai has a great safety record. We booked a tour for 9:00 AM, and arrived on time. The staff was ready and friendly. Gave a good safety briefing, and drove us to the Airport in a clean and safe vehicle. The helicopter arrived, and looked brand new. The pilot was friendly, and really did a great tour of the island. He was informative, but never distracted by the 100s of questions my seven year old had.

If you are going to fly with a helicopter at least once in a lifetime, do it in Kauai. It is beautiful. It is worth splurging for an exceptional memory. I picked Blue Hawaiian because they had new helicopter with more comfortable seats. I was little worried where I would get seated and even though I ended up in the middle left seat of the back row (probably the worst seat) the view was still very good. Our pilot Dean was was very good. It felt that in spite of doing this countless times, he still enjoyed the view just as much as we did. The experience of hovering for a few minutes in one of the Na Pali valleys or in Wai'ale'ale crater surrounded with waterfalls was unforgettable.

We were rescheduled from an original departure date due to the weather conditions and the staff was really helpful in accommodating us. We chose this company for their ecostar helicopters which has glass on most of the front. Their office is located in Harbor Mall and after getting checked in (weighed), the computer generates which seats are good for everyone depending on weight. After watching a safety video, they drove us to the helipad at Lihue airport and gave us our seating assignments. We were boarded on the plane in a safe and orderly manner. Our captain (Capt. Andy) was very knowledgeable about the sights and took us on an smooth ride and kept the bumps to a minimum by assessing the wind and avoiding the ridge lines. There were many sights we already saw from driving but to see them from an aerial view was amazing But the most breathtaking view has to be the Na Pali coast hands-down! Capt. Andy flew by slowly so we could all get a good view and then also made a 360 so we full view of the coast line. The helicopter tour was definitely the highlight of the trip and a must do!

We hesitated about doing a helicopter tour on Kauai simply because of the price but could not be happier that we did it. It was the most amazing experience. Everyone at Blue Hawaiian from the person checking us in at the office to the pilot was so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Very professional staff! I was concerned about the flight because I get bad motion sickness but took a Dramamine and never felt a thing! The ride was so smooth and our pilot (Dean) was so informative and funny. We were given a microphone to ask any questions along the way and Dean did a great job of answering anything we had. We learned so much about the island and were able to take tons of pictures. We also bought the video of our flight since it went so great. Everyone we showed loved it! The tour was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.

I'm not sure that words can adequately describe this experience. To see Kauai from a bird's eye view is mesmerizing. What a "wow" factor! The tour shows you all the beautiful highlights....and you get informative history and movie tidbits (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park). We felt safe and comfortable throughout the flight. Our pilot (Dean) was skilled, likeable, and humorously entertaining. You have the option to purchase a DVD of your actual tour.

Excellent tour, really worth doing. Kauai is spectacular and many places can only be seen from the air. Blue Hawaiian is very professional and organized, and the tour ran right on time. Check in is at a storefront near (but not in) Lihue airport, read the confirmation carefully for directions. Very smooth flight with only a few bumps despite a strong east wind blowing. If you are taking photos be aware of glare on the windows - wear dark clothing. If there is rain, focus manually or your camera will lock onto the drops on the window. Pilot gave a good tour, pointing out sites and providing interesting information. The DVD is worth buying, you can preview it when you return to the office. Book ahead of time and get an internet discount.

This was one of the top 3 favorite experiences for each member of our family on a cruise and island vacations with MANY exciting and memorable experiences. Even for my husband, who became airsick, he still rates this as one of the best memories. Our pilot/tour guide was funny and engaging and when he wasn't talking, beautiful music was playing throughout. He also made the internal camera show the passengers (us) periodically so when we bought the souvenir DVD we could see ourselves and the other passsengers as well. There are no words to describe the natural beauty of this mostly uninhabited island. Too many waterfalls and rainbows to count, dramatic mountains and of course beautiful beaches. Please take the opportunity to view the Kauai from the air - you won't ever forget it! One member of our group did not want to take this helicoptor ride, and she was able to stay close at the shopping area and beautiful beach area very close to the departing site, which was convenient.

This was the only helicopter tour I have ever taken. I was amazed by it! The ride was about as smooth as can be and the tour goes all over the island taking in all of the great views. I would love to take this tour on the other Hawaii Islands in the future.

We had read in the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook that we should go with this company for the cushiest flight. I couldn't compare that, but overall the flight was lovely with spectacular views. However, when you arrive you are assigned one of two helicopters. On our visit, Daryl or Bruce were our two pilots to be flown by. If you can put a word in for Daryl, it will make the trip worth it. I would not fly at all if Bruce is your pilot. We felt safe, however, he told us to ask questions, and when we did he was very annoyed and quickly silenced everyone aboard. We were very disappointed because this is one of the reasons we chose this company. We loved that you had the opportunity to communicate with your pilot to ask questions. After completing the tour and speaking with several other people we bumped into over the week, who had flown with Daryl, we found that he was an excellent navigator and tour guide, making the trip amusing and informative. Exactly what we had hoped for. So if you use this company...don't settle for less than Daryl. The two gentlemen who drive you to the helicopter from their office are hilarious however, and quite entertaining. They will definitely relax you if you are nervous about flying. I only rated this trip as average because of our pilot. I would expect it to be amazing had we had the other pilot.
