My partner and I loved this helicopter tour. The highlight was flying low over some very playful Humpback whales (we spent considerable time just ooh and ha at the whales). Our one hour flight went quickly, leaving the airport, flying alongside Waikiki beach then up to North Shore, check out the Humpbacks, back inland over the mountain range and the highest waterfall on Oahu, before we headed back to the airport by flying directly over Pearl Harbor and the USS MISSOURI (Battleship). Our pilot was wonderful and kept us fully informed as to where we were and the local history as well of each area we flew over. Blue Hawaian will pick you up and drop you back at your hotel, which just the make the thing that much easier.
This helicopter ride is the perfect way to see the stunning natural beauty of this gorgeous island! The views of the coastline and ocean were simply magnificent. You will also fly over gorgeous valleys, mountains, a waterfall and Pearl Harbour. They fly over the whole island and it takes around 50 mins. You can also buy a DVD of your flight! I booked over the internet and everything was taken care of. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough! Simply stunning!
We have taken blue Hawaiian helicopter tours on other islands. This was as good as others. We took the 2 hour tour that covered the volcano and waterfalls. Amazing and beautiful. Our pilot, Dell, was great.......friendly and informative. We had great weather and saw a lot. Well worth the money. Be sure to wear a dark shirt, tho. They gave us a shirt when we arrived to cover our white shirts because they would reflect in pictures. Polite, friendly and courteous. Nice to deal with professionals in a time when life has become so casual.
Had a beautiful experience seeing the landscape of the island. The volcano, waterfalls, valleys and open water was magnificent to see in the air. Our pilot Dale was a great person to be in a bird with. Grady customer service and knowledgable of the island. Very cool man! So happy my family was able to experience it!
I'm so glad I decided to book a flight with Blue Hawaii Helicopters. Everyone from the driver who picked me up to the ground staff and our expert pilot Julie were friendly and proffesional. If you're embarassed about being weighed, don't worry, as no one but the attendent behind the front desk will see it. My flight was smooth and I had a chance to see so many sites that you can only see by air. As a bonus the dvd of my flight was priced affordably.
This was our third holiday at Waikiki and we have done many tours. We asked our concierge for any suggestions. He suggested the 45 minute helicopter flight with Blue Hawaiian. He also said that everyone he has recommended this trip to has come back to tell him just how much they enjoyed it. We decided to give it a go. Right from being picked up at our hotel, to the friendly staff at the airport and then flying with Jonathan it was an incredible flight. I saw an island that I could never have imagined from the ground. The 45 minute trip covers such a variety of scenery. We were also given a complimentary DVD of our trip, which is a great way to share what we saw when we are back home. I can thoroughly recommend doing this flight. You can take your camera on board and all your other belongings are securely bagged for you until after your flight. This is a very professional company.
I highly recommend these guys to anyone who can afford to do a helicopter tour. I booked online in advance to get a discounted rate. And cost the 2 of us just over 400 US. The staff were professional and lovely. We had Jonathan for our helicopter pilot, he was so knowledgable about all the sights and we got to see much more of the island than we would have otherwise. They will also pick up from the hotel on request. The bus driver was new the day we went and you could tell but was better even by that afternoon. They also do tours of the other islands of Hawaii. All in all a great time.
It was expensive but it was worth it. Make sure you take at least a 45 minute ride. Of course, bring your camera. Pilot was very knowledgable and helpful. Helicopter was very nice.
Wow, just...wow. Fantastic experience. Worth every penny! Our pilot Barrett was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. This is a must-do for any Kauai visit.
With only 3 nights on Kauai, we wanted to make the most of our visit. Our concierge recommended Blue Hawaiian Helicopters as the best way to see most of the island and the waterfalls. We've always wanted to go on a helicopter, and taking in the sights of Kauai was a wonderful first time experience. Breathtaking scenery, clean and comfortable helicopters, and a crew that was friendly and professional. Highly recommend. The hour long ride was over far too soon.
We were advised that BH was the best company to use for helicopter rides in Kuaui, and i must say that they really stand behind their product, and senior management will do their utmost and beyond to ensure that you have an excellent experience with them. I would highly recommend them as i have found that they stand behind their company.
My husband, myself and our 2 teenagers (18 and 16) agreed that our Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai was the favorite part of our trip to Hawaii. From the moment we walked into their facility we were so impressed with their professionalism and the obvious pride and enjoyment that the staff had in their jobs. They went out of their way to prepare us for what to expect, and to make sure we were comfortable with how the boarding process would work. Once we were on-board, our pilot Brad did an excellent job making us feel safe and showing us Kauai's unbelievable beauty from a perspective that only a helicopter could give us. I forgot to be nervous! The scenery was just incredible, you will not be disappointed. The helicopter landing was so gentle - that also surprised me. Thank you again Brad and Blue Hawaiian, we loved it!
This is a great way to see the island of Kauaʻi, in particular the Nā Pali Coast and the Waimea Canyon. Our helicopter was sleek, modern and comfortable with excellent visibility, and limited to 6 passengers. Our Pilot/Guide Craig was very informative and engaging with all 6 passengers. In addition, he gave us great advise on what else to do on the island and on how to cope with the pending arrival of Hurricane Iselle. Not cheap, but well worth doing once. For an additional $26 you can get a DVD recording of your trip. Why 4 and not 5 stars? The DVD quality is good (SP) but would be so much better if shot in HD!
Nothing they could do any better! Our wonderful pilot Geoff made the flight unforgettable! Absolutely recommendable - thanks for this memorable experience to our 25th anniversary!
Great tour, we really enjoyed. it. You will see a lot of the island that is not acceptable any other way.
