The Helicopter tour of the island with waterfall landing with Blue Helicopter from Waikoloa heliport is a must do over a guide tour with the bus of the island…. we did both a lost a full day with the Island spectacular tour Robert’s of Hawaii unless you want to stop in a nuts place, chocolat manufacture in Hilo and at Royal Kona store which is a souvenir shop more than anything else….from the air you see everything and less than 2 hours A wonderful experience. Blue Hawaiian are real professional....if you want to do one thing this is it nothing else
Well we were booked and the weather was not good so they cancelled and we were able to reschedule for another day. I suggest you plan so if you get cancelled you still have open days to try again. Our pilot Brody is a local which showed is his knowledge and excitement for the island of Kauai! We had a smooth flight. The views are spectacular! This is worth the money spent! Highly recommend the helicopter ride!
This was a fantastic helicopter tour, the best I have done!! We did a great helicopter tour on the Big Island, however the scenery in Kauai is something else! The way to see this island is by air, and it is worth every cent. Something truly surreal. I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour, and Blue Hawaiian are fantastic! Our pilot Brodi was also great, being a local he had a wealth of knowledge and was very professional.
An absolute must do in Kauai. You will see parts of Kauai that can't by reached by vehicle. Breathtaking views of mountains, waterfalls and the Napali Coast. We would do this again in a second! Our pilot was GREAT ( Barrett )!!!
We have gone twice now with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Really awesome experience. Great pilots who are very imformational. We most likely will go again on Kauai and perhaps on another island. The cabin in flight was very comfortable .
My first time on a helicopter a little nervous but once we were up there you will be so busy looking at the view and it is so beautiful you will be so happy you went.
We really enjoyed our experience with Blue Hawwian Helicopters!! Our Pilot Brody made is interesting and fun!! There was interaction on board many times and made us feel included and special! We highly recommend this amazing adventure!! we felt very safe and will definatly do it again!! The scenery was unbelievable, breath taking and glorious!!!
We chose the Circle of Fire plus Waterfalls tour on an Eco-Star while we were in Hawaii so we could see the active lava flows. Our day started with a quick check-in process and safety presentation. The presentation was short, easy to follow and showed safety is a priority with Blue Hawaiian. Whew! Next we were off to the tarmac and into the helicopter where the staff helped everyone take pictures with the helicopter and assisted each of us aboard. The Eco-Star helicopters have air-conditioning and are very comfortable. The best views of course are up front with the pilot, who was informative and friendly. The back window seats also have good views and the pilot we had turned the helicopter so both sides of the aircraft could see the same locations. The two middle seats are not the best, but you can definitely still see the sites. Thank you husband for letting me have the window seat. <3 I would say the best seat if you’re not in front, is the window seat behind the pilot so you’re sure to see most of what he’s seeing. Although, as I mentioned earlier, our pilot was careful to turn the craft so both sides saw the same sites. I was seated in the back, by the window, but NOT behind the pilot, and he did miss my side once for a second time around view…just say’in. I felt safe and comfortable during the entire flight and my husband and I both enjoyed a relaxing beautiful tour. RECOMMENDATION #1: I would suggest to anyone thinking of using a GoPro for pictures during their ride…bring a camera or use your phone camera as well. We used our GoPro most of the ride and unfortunately due to the inability to zoom in, the pictures were not as good as they could have been had I used my phones camera for closer shots. Waah! In hindsight, I probably would forget taking pictures and just buy the DVD from Blue Hawaiian at the end of your flight. Enjoy your magnificent ride and scenery instead. RECOMMENDATION #2: If you are wishing to see waterfalls, book a different tour unless you want to look at them from FAR above! Sorry Blue Hawaiian, but I was TRULY disappointed in the “Plus Waterfalls” portion of your tour. Had I not been on a catamaran tour earlier in our trip, I would have complained the minute we got back on the ground. We got closer to them driving to look out points or seeing them by boat. Not that there is any false advertising on the Blue Hawaiian website or anything…I just think they should leave the “Plus Waterfalls” bit off the tour description unless it’s clarified that it’s more a “Plus flying over from WAY above waterfalls tour.” I say under promise and over deliver is the best route here. Take that out of the tour description and people will be pleasantly surprised. RECOMMENDATION #3: Parking…Blue Hawaiian is AT the airport, next to the airline ticket counters if you depart from Hilo as we did, so you have to pay for parking. Or…I believe you can park in the lot next door where “the other” helicopter tour leaves from for free and walk 50 feet to Blue Hawaiian. I felt like that was kind of cheating though and it is Hawaii, so I would say just pay for parking. It wasn’t bad…$5-$7. The Blue Hawaiian employees were very friendly, professional, welcoming and cared about the satisfaction of their customers. I felt safe and comfortable during the entire flight, and my husband and I both enjoyed a relaxing beautiful tour. Thank you Blue Hawaiian!
We did this tour yesterday and it was the highlight of our trip. Shay was our pilot and he did and excellent job of showing us the island. Most of the island isn't accessible by car so this is the best way to see it. We were on the NCL cruise ship, but I booked this directly with Blue Hawaiian ( you will save a lot of money vs booking through the cruise ship). They also provided transportation to and from the port.
There is not best way to see Kauia than with an helicopter tour. I loved the view and all the information the pilot was sharing with us. It´s expensive but it´s worth it. Maybe they should just improve the service at the entrance of the base.
We, a family with childrens of 11 month, 4 and 6 years, flight with Marty our pilot. He did a very professional job.
If you want to experience a little piece of Heaven, I recommend doing the 2Hour tour, and pay the xtra for your video take home memories, its priceless you won't be disappointed at all!! Greg O was our Captain/Pilot he was Amazing, he was very informative and funny. I will never forget it!! Amazing We saw active volcanoes Amazing Mountains and Gorgeous waterfalls & Breath taking views. We also saw 3 different rainbows.
Going up in a helicopter has been on my bucket list for a while. I was finally convinced to go on one by Blue Hawaiian. All I can say is "WOW!" It felt like you weren't even moving, the ride is so smooth. All the while you are listening to great music, choreographed to the areas you are flying over. We say active volcano lava, farms. valleys, so much. I couldn't stop smiling!
We took the 45 minute round island tour and weren't disappointed - the pre flight briefing and boarding was really professional and reassuring Julie our pilot was very professional and knowledgeable on the geography and history with great tv and movie links Well worth the $$$
What a fascinating way to see the island. Very expensive but worth it. They weigh you to put you evenly on plan. My son and mom weighed close. I asked them to switch because wanted to take pictures of both my husband and sons in back. The pilot was rude and I asked again and finally they allowed it. If I am paying $1,000 for party of five should be made aware of seating before last minute. I am very happy I was persistent because got great pictures by turning around at them. The helicopter was super to see the whole island. Its the best way to see Arizona. They take your picture before and you can buy it when you return. It turned out great so I bought it. I also got tshirts would highly recommend to remember day by. You can purchase video but too pricey. Wish they sold Christmas ornaments. Small gift shop. Costumer service was lacking even tour bus driver was rude. I was told to wait inside and she was waiting for us outside. The male bus driver was nice he picked us up but different driver on way back. Wear dark colors for best picture taking.
