We used Blue Hawaii on our recent trip to Kauai and flew with Brody, no words can describe the flight because it was beyond my ability to describe how incredible it was. Brody was able to bring the canyons to life with Hawaiian culture and history. The helicopters were top of the line, the staff were friendly and professional. Darrell was great, he calmed my nerves as it was my first ride on a helicopter. It was worth every dime! I will tell everyone going to Hawaii to use Blue Hawaii
This was a 2-hour tour of both the volcanoes and the waterfalls in a eco-star helicopter. First of all, there are 6 passengers plus the pilot. There is not a bad seat on board and our pilot Greg was great for taking the extra time to travel back to make sure both sides of the helicopter got fantastic views. I don't like helicopter rides but I enjoyed this one. Greg was very professional and attentive to his flight duties as well as talking wth us about the sights below. We had excellent views of the lava flow into the ocean! We stopped in Hilo to refuel and then off to the north east coast for some really spectacular waterfalls. I gave this a 4-star rating as I was more nervous in the valley than near the volcanoes. I did get slightly nauseous with the turning back and forth to view all the falls - I think it was because the valley was more narrow than the open space. But overall, this was a fabulous tour, which gave a great perspective of the whole island and its vast landscape.
Dale was our captain and guide for a 2hr flight over the Big Island today. It was awesome! Seeing things that would never see any other way. I would do this trip again in a minute. The entire staff was professional and safety conscious. Again awesome trip!!
My boyfriend and I did this on our vacation and it was awesome! The views are incredible and our pilot and guide Julie was phenomenal. She did turns back and forth so that both sides of the helicopter could see the incredible views, found us a rainbow and two waterfalls. Also she made great music selections to listen to while there wasn't any narration; she pointed out all the interesting sights and has great knowledge of Oahu, took all our questions and was very engaging. My boyfriend was in one of the middle back seats and I was worried his view would be obstructed but he said he could still see everything. We had a terrific time and I would highly recommend it. It's pricey but worth it for the experience!
We were very pleased with this company and with our ride out over the bubbling lava dome and lava falls dropping into the sea. We felt that the hour trip was worth the money. It was beautiful and memorable!
First helicopter ride. Dale was our pilot and he was great. He explained what we were seeing and also history of the areas we were seeing. The lava flow is Mother Nature's Show and since it was a clear day it was wonderful. Then from lava to the mountains with water falls, no words to explain what we saw. You need to take the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter trip. Life time experience.
My wife and I took the Big Island Spectacular tour and had the best time! Our pilot/guide, Dale, was engaging and made the flight even more enjoyable. We were able to see the lava in the volcano, watch the lava enter the Pacific and venture into valleys to see some of the most breathtaking waterfalls. I can't sing high enough praises for the tour, because it truly was one of the most magnificent things I've ever experienced. Warmest Mahalo to Blue Hawaiian!
I went last minute with my 2 teenagers yesterday. One of the best experiences. Beautiful views . Loren our pilot was awesome right down to his playlist as we went thru all the historical sites.... Friendly staff & safe which was my number one priority. What a way to end our last day of vacation ... Highly recommend if you can fit it in. Maria. Aloha
I can't say enough about our incredible experience. Our pilot, Scott, was wonderful. He gave awesome information and shared favorite hideaways only viewed by air. If you have a chance to visit Kauai, make Blue Hawaiian Helicopters a must do on your trip. You'll be amazed by the beauty of this island. We had taken several drives to locations throughout the island and then got to experience those plus many more on this 50 minute tour. The best dollars spent on the island!
I chose Blue Hawaiian for my helicopter tour in Kauai and was not disappointed. I chose Blue Hawaiian because it has newer helicopters and larger windows than other tour companies. This helicopter tour will give you views of the Island that you would otherwise not be able to witness. There is so much beauty that can only be seen by helicopter. It truly was an amazing experience. Pilot Brodi did such a great job guiding us and explaining the history of the Island. Would highly recommend. I also did a helicopter tour in Maui but this one was truly unforgettable.
The whole experience was fantastic. This was out first time in a helicopter and everything was done in a professional way by Blue Helicopter. The take off and landing are surprisingly smooth. Helicopters are nice and spacious with air conditioning. Our pilot was Shay, who was very accommodating and did whatever he could to ensure we got great information and the best photo opportunities. The DVDs that are available for purchase are crystal clear and a great plus. I would highly recommend Blue Helicopter for your helicopter experience in Hawaii!
You are in Kauai - open up your wallet and stay a while :) This is for sure a bucket list type of activity but well worth it. The pilots are so personable and make you feel at ease - especially if you've never been in a copter before. I got the front row seat due to my weight and it was unreal. One of the best things we did. I believe they are on Maui too but Kauai is so lush and green I highly recommend seeing it from the sky. The waterfalls alone are amazing. Da plane Da plane! They fly you over where South Pacific was filmed back in the day. The North Shore is one of the most stunning places you will ever see with your eyes - can only be truly appreciated from the sky. Trust me. Make sure to shoot some video while you are up there! Unforgettable once in a lifetime. Blue Hawaiian is the real deal.
The staff was great to work with and did a very nice job answering questions & providing a fantastic experience for everyone. The pilot was very friendly and did a nice job narrating the tour. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR DARK CLOTHES! I wore a dark shirt as suggested but was disappointed when I got glare off of the flotation belt they give you & even from my socks!
Fantastic magic carpet ride around Kauai. Very professional company and aircraft. The pilots give a great commentary of the islands features. Scott H was a very professional and friendly pilot.
This is absolutely the best way to experience Kauai. Blue Hawaiian is very organized and sends out three tours on the half hour. Our pilot was Greg, who did a great job and was very personable. The pilots are very experienced and know just where to go to get the best views. Greg even did a 360 rainbow for us. Even though it was raining on and off, he still got us in to see great views, including the beautiful interior of the crater. We had done this trip before years ago, but I was impressed with the efficiency and ease of their operation. If you are in Kauai, this is a must do! There is so much of the island you can only see by this method (although I also highly recommend a boat tour out of Hanalei of the Na Pali coast as well). We purchased the video that the company makes of your tour, I was surprised that the pilots switch cameras during the flight to show interior of the helicopter with passengers and mostly what is going on outside. It is a great souvenir! Kudos to the entire staff, which made it a very pleasant experience, even for my nervous 11 year old.
