If you plan right there'll be heavy rain the night before your trip, then the skies will clear before take-off. Though we encountered several areas of rain the views were spectacular. Unfortunately you don't get a choice of where you sit, otherwise I'd recommend the front right, this seat by far has the best views. The pilot will try to spin around a few times to give the rear left seat passenger a look but they by far will see the least. When we entered the crater with waterfalls all the way around the pilot, a Hawaiian native, said this was the best he'd ever seen it. Words cannot describe the sight. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. You CANNOT go to Kauai and not take this tour!!!

Awe inspiring scenery that is inaccessible by land...pictures don't even do it justice. Love this island! It is unspoiled Hawaii. Down to earth people, cottages and sights. Nit the crazy congestion and packs of tourists like Oahu! This hello tour is the best.. The pilot made us feel comfortable, shared history and stories as we went along....highly recommend!

This has to be the best single hour we spent on our vacation!! There were 6 of us plus the pilot which made for a full flight. We had been on a Na Pali boat trip the day before, which was also wonderful . Our pilot, Greg tailored the flight to show us what couldn't be seen from the ocean. We went in and out of canyons. Can't begin to count how many waterfalls we saw! Greg pointed out movie locations along the way. Also gave us recommendations on places to check out for the remainder of our trip. We went on an early flight because we had been told that it would be smoother and more chance of going into the crater. Not sure how true that is but it worked out for us.

Did the Circle of Fire Tour in the afternoon. From our Helicopter, saw the lava splashing around in the Volcano with smoke spewing up into the air. How amazing to see the Earth recreating itself. Tour then continued to the point where the lava is entering the Ocean... Really cool and safe way to see this. The ride itself was very smooth. Felt safe and confident the whole way. The Pilot was knowledgeable and spoke quite a bit to give us background and perspective on what we were seeing. This was my wife's favourte part of our visit to Hawaii. A real must see!!!!

We booked the 45 minute tour with Julie as our guide, and it was the most amazing experience. The views were spectacular, nothing like I've ever seen. Well worth the price. And Julie was a fantastic and knowledgable pilot who made each client feel included in her helicopter.

This is one expense that is worth the splurge! The views from above are stunning and will leave you breathless. Our pilot Scott was great, full of facts, jokes and a nice guy.

We booked a morning flight over Kauai with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and the weather was beautiful. We went through a brief orientation. At first, I was a little apprehensive about whether we would be able to have a good vantage point for excellent viewing since there are 6 passengers plus the pilot. This is I guess the reason they ask for height and weights. I understand weight distribution and all, but they put the two taller passengers in the middle 2 seats that were in the back. I'm much shorter than my husband, so I was by the window in the rear row and he was on my left seated in the middle. He said he had no problem seeing the beautiful sights. Of course our pilot, Miguel, was fantastic about giving passengers on both sides of the aircraft a opportunity to view the sites. The view of Waimea Canyon and Napali Coast from the air cannot be beat. We had taken a sunset cruise on the Napali Coast, but the view from the helicopter is an entirely different experience. My advice is if its your first visit, then do it!!! You will not regret it.

Best money we spent on the trip! waimea canyon, jurassic falls, the Nao poli (spelling) coast... all fantastic. our pilot was a local and so very knowledgable. it rained a bit but all that did was create many waterfalls instantly. If you are going to do a chopper trip in the islands, i recommend this island and this trip. The chopper was very comfortable and every seat was a good one. Some companies have older choppers with limited visability.

Our group of 3 (2 adults and 1 senior 70+) totally enjoyed our flight with Christy, who was warm, fun, and knowledgeable. We got lucky with the weather condition and were able to see real red hot lava (including 3 lava flows coming down to the ocean). What a wonderful experience! The staff was nice. The helicopter (Airbus EC130 "Eco-Star") was new and super comfortable. Our video of the trip was of high quality and very fun to watch.

We booked this excursion called "Big Island Spectacular" through Royal Caribbean. It was quite expensive ($525 p/person), but we had read so many good reviews, and we must say, it was WELL worth it!!! Our pilot (with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters) was VERY confident, knowledgeable, and personable (he even addressed us by name throughout the flight). This experience was JUST like a documentary by National Geographic that you see on tv where the pilot flies in between the tree-lined narrow valleys, up close to the beautiful steep waterfalls, and along the ocean coast (where the lava empties into the water...a SPECTACULAR view!!). Being afraid of heights, I was a little nervous beforehand, but I have to say..this was the BEST excursion on our Hawaiian trip and we HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE that has the opportunity to go!! You will LOVE it and will talk about it for years to come!!!

Rowena, at check-in and during departure was awesome. Very helpful answering questions and making us feel valued and comfortable. Greg O or "Go" our pilot was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He explained things to calm nerves of first time flyers. Most importantly, he made me cry- he was right, the views of the valleys and waterfalls were too spectacular for words. I took the tour to see the volcanoes and craters, but the cliffs and valleys turned out to be my favorite part. The two hours were the best of our vacation. It's hard to spend that much money for just two hours- but believe me, those sites will forever be in your heart and mind.

What an amazing experience. Thank you Blue Hawaiian for allowing us to see this beautiful island from up in the sky. Loren our pilot was hysterical and made us laugh for the whole 45 minute trip. Very professional company - thank you so much the experience was amazing.

Unfortunately rainy and foggy when we went but Blue Hawaiian was exceptionally professional and the helicopter was comfortable and conservatively piloted. Clearly the best tour money we spent on the Big Island. We did a long distance flyover of the lava flow that could only be photographed with a long telephoto lens (that I didn't have), and on the return did a quick flyover of Rainbow Falls. Wonderful experience that we would definitely do again.

This was part of my bucket list trip & we are so pleased we picked this as the last thing before heading back to New Zealand. Greg was our pilot & he was amazing with his knowledge of the area. We were extremely lucky the Kilauea volcano was flowing into the sea. It has been doing it for about 3 weeks & before that it was back in 2014. Although the weather wasn't the best Greg didn't let that effect our experience. Basically it was fine out by the volcano so you got a really good view of the lava flowing into the sea. When we were almost back at the airport he could see that it was raining heavily so he took us to see a couple of waterfalls while the rain passed over. We can really recommend this company, they are very safety orientated & make sure their clients have the best experience possible.

If I could give this tour 10 stars, I would! Though we were apprehensive about the possibility of bad weather (and we'd never ridden in a helicopter before), we lucked out with a great day. It was easy to find the office at the Lihue Heliport, and everyone at Blue Hawaiian was very professional. After the obligatory safety video and instruction we were soon lifting off, with longtime Kauai resident Barrett as our very confident and inspiring pilot. Up, up, and away! The ultra-modern Eco-Star helicopter felt very safe as we sat strapped in, wearing headphones, and listened to a thoughtfully programmed selection of traditional Hawaiian music to accompany the sights during a smooth, quiet ride. Barrett showed us so many aspects of amazing Kauai that we could never see from the ground, especially Waimea Canyon and the breathtaking Na Pali coast, which later in the week we explored again from a catamaran. Every moment in the air was awe-inspiring and we will never forget it.
