Great helicopters and pilots. By far the best flight we have taken in Hawaii! Incredible scenery along the Napali coastline. The immense amount of private lands on Kauai make this flight amazing.

I didn't think a one hour tour would be long enough, but the pilot covered the entire island without us feeling rushed. I've never seen so many waterfalls in my entire life. The views of the Na Pali coast and of the Waimia canyon were unparalled.

We went with anxiety, returned in awe. The ride was smooth, musical, entertaining, and enlightening. Barrett the pilot was knowledgeable, well spoken, informed, and complimented the breath taking scenery perfectly. The music was well choreographed to the land details and presented us with one of the most spectacular activities to date.

Taking advice from our guidebook, our group of six did our ride the morning after arriving in Kauai. We booked online, more than 5 days in advance, which saved us some money. There may be other deals through condos, etc... that may save more. But the price was ~$210/pp which seemed reasonable. For the most part, the different companies are going to fly the same basic routes. They may do things a little differently during those routes, but you're going to see similar things. The differences are going to be in the helicopters and the guides. The ECO star helicopters were nice. The prime spot is the front middle. The right front is a little tight, but has good views forward and to the right side. The best in the back are the sides. Wear dark clothing to reduce glare, since any photos will be shot through the glass. I've been in a few different helicopters and these are about as good as you're going to get from a tour company. If you're a serious photographer, you'll want a tour that goes with the doors off. I had a Garmin GPS watch on me that I started about 10 minutes into the ride. Elevation ranged from about 1000' to 4500' - of course the terrain also varied. Speeds reached around 120 mph top when transitioning to different areas and down around 30 mph when getting up close to the sights. Overall, the tour covers about 100 miles of territory. I brought the mid-range zoom for my DSLR, but it was a little overkill. I wish I would have brought the standard lens, as you'll be pretty close to the views. Most of the time I found myself wishing I'd brought the smaller lens. Everything went well, they were very professional, and everyone had a good time.

We had a great pilot. Retired chopper pilot who was obviously well versed on all the area's of the island and had a historical reference of the area's we flew over. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, is it pricey, YES, but considering the fact that you can only see about 20% of the island by driving and hiking, this was well worth it. I highly recommend that you buy your ride DVD to show others the amazing ride.

What a way to see the Island of Kauai. Fantastic views!!! Very professional. A must do. Well worth the price. O-H I-O

This is a fantastic trip, This volcano has been active for 30 years and is still going strong we flew through the Vog over lava tubes to the ocean where you see the lava go into the sea. The flight was about 50 minutes and very interesting this is an unforgettable trip they provide Bose headphones to reduce the noise from the Helicopter you can also purchase a DVD but if youre from England you will have to get the DVD converted to our region

This helicopter ride was well worth the money! We travelled around Kauai with pilot Nathan and he was fantastic with knowledge and making you feel safe.

I went with my husband, his brother and parents (ages 30-60). We had 7 people total in our helicopter, so one other couple. I was very nervous, but as soon as you get into your seat, you put headphones on that have nice soothing music to calm you down :). The entire trip was so exhilarating. The sites, breathtaking. The pilot, very nice and entertained us with fun facts throughout the flight. Highlight of our trip!

We did this as our shore excursion for this island and it was a good decision. I takes awhile to get picked up, driven by shuttle to the office where you have to watch a safety video and get some instructions, put on a "blackout" t- shirt and strap on a neon floatation pillow, then get driven out to the helicopter pad at the airport. They load the helicopter by weight and I was hoping for a seat that I could take pics from. I got my wish and got some really great shots from above. The pilot was experienced and had an interesting narrative during our almost one hour tour of the island from above. Jurassic Park's famous helicopter scene where they are flying toward the double waterfalls was filmed here as well as scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Fantasy Island. We flew in and out of craters, atop non active volcanoes, saw farms and cattle on top of some of them, grazing happily on clover, and I got a shot of a half raimbow in the water. Unusual. This was truly a great adventure and I'd recommend it to anyone of any age.

I highly recommend splurging the money on this helicopter ride. The views are breath-taking and it is a good way to view the Northern part of Kauai. We saw the Napali Coast, some awesome waterfalls, and lots of lush mountain scenery. Jurassic Park was also filmed around here...and you see where parts of Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed! I felt a little nauseous, but it was definitely worth the ride. It is a once in a lifetime experience! Our pilot (which I forget his name) is from Alaska and he was very funny!

Ten stars! One of the best experiences of my life. Jimmy's narration was fantastic, and the soundtrack added to the flight beautifully. I want to go again right now!

This was our first helicopter ride and all can say is wow!! It's definitely worth the money. You get to see a side of the island that's only available from the air. Our pilot Vincent was very good and knowledgeable about all aspects of the island. They play music through the headset which adds to the experience. If you can splurge a little I would highly recommend them.

Our pilot, Vince, was amazing. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, charming and entertaining. Will return next year for another fantastic flight with Vince at Blue Hawaiian.

We flew with Blue Hawaiian in early February on their standard Kauai tour. We booked online before arriving and took the tour on our second day on Kauai. We found the pickup location to be a bit difficult to find, its on an interior facing retail space inside a two story retail/office complex. There was a quick safety video and orientation, then we were off to the van to be taken to the Helipad. Seats are pre-assigned. We had the front and it was probably the best views but the tightest fit. Joeff (sp?) was our pilot and did a good job touring the island. The bulk of the visit was 15 minutes in Wiemea Canton and 30 minutes inside the Napali Coast and some interior waterfalls. I wish I had done some additional research on tours, as I would have enjoyed spending more time going around the island and seeing the coastline, beaches, the lighthouse, and the coastline near Kapaa. Overall, the tour was nice and the company/pilot were top notch, but I'm not sure it was the breathtaking experience I was expecting. I found similar views from the end of the Canyon's road later on in the trip, and on some of the hiking available on the island.
