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.

I'm finding helicopter tours to be a consistent trip highlight and Blue Hawaiian at Kaua'i was even more exceptional. Gregg our pilot/guide was fantastic. There is so much to see and learn and Gregg barely paused. You see the entire island and on many aspects from the best perspective. Highly recommended!

On our honeymoon, my wife and I wanted a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and boy did we get it! We saw everything!! We saw all the major natural features on Kauai - Weimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the beaches, etc. - all within an hour. It's almost too much to take in with your eyes. There is so much to see. It had rained that day, and we flew through some rain in some areas, so we must have seen over 50 waterfalls. The Blue Hawaiian staff are really friendly and helpful, so just follow their directions and you'll be fine. Our pilot, Scotty, was really knowledgeable and had a soothing way about him. Although we had some turbulence in some spots during the flight, we felt we were in good hands. Overall, the ride was smooth and not at all like a rollercoaster. This is a definite must-do!

We were initially reluctant to book a helicopter ride while in Kauai for our family but I'm glad I caved. We thoroughly enjoyed our 50 minute tour with Marty our pilot. It was fascinating to view this magnificent island and its diverse terrain, steep cliffs and lush vegetation from up above. The ride was pleasant and smooth. The Hawaiian music playing on our headsets while listening to Marty talk added to the experience. I highly recommend.

Wow, what a way to see and learn about the island! We flew with Marty in Kauai and he was an experienced pilot with tons of knowledge. It was so amazing to see and fly into the canyons and craters and then later on the trip go hike them and drive the roads and float on the boats off the coast. I suggest the tour early on the trip to get a good feel for the island then explore!

This would have to be one of the best things that I have done on this planet. Flying over a live volcano and seeing lava flowing into the sea. Greg, our pilot was incredible. Thanks mate. This tour is worth every cent and should be a must for everyone visiting Hilo.

Though pricey, The Big Island Spectacular Tour with the Eco Star helicopter ride was certainly worth it for me and my husband. It was my first helicopter ride ever and I was nervous, but the ride was super stable, and the pilot was friendly and helpful. They offer to put the recorded tour on a USB drive for a fee. We got that and were happy to be able to relive the exciting moments. The only complaint i had was the front desk -- the girl who was responsible for transferring our footage onto the USB drive sorta messed up the order. We were the first one from our tour to order the USB, but somehow we were the last ones to receive the drive because she likely gave the first drive to the other passengers with us. The other passengers took their time outside after the ride taking pictures, so we felt it was quite unfair we had to wait much longer since we went in right after we got off the ride. :-( We were told it'd take 45 mins or so, and we went back after an hour, and still had to wait another 20 mins. :-( Perhaps they should consider getting some faster transfer speed USB drives too.

We are in Kauai for a 40th anniversary trip. The wife wanted to do a helicopter ride and I said fine. It was terrific even though we encountered some rain coming back. But with 400+ inches of rain per year in the interior of the island, no surprise there. Scott the pilot was the consummate professional, and his narration was perfect. Clearly a guy who is good at his job and appears to enjoy it as well. It is truly remarkable how little of Kauai one could enjoy if stuck on the roads. The sights are incredible and only accessible by helicopter. This was worth every penny of the price. Blue Hawaiian is clearly the Cadillac operation in the helicopter tour market, but sometimes it pays to go first class. Highly recommended.

This was our first time on Kauai and have heard so much about the island, the only problem is the 90% of the island is inaccessible. The only way to see it is by helicopter. We have never been on one so we ventured out to see what it was all about. Blue Hawaiian tours were great, the have a well run, well organized program. You felt secure about what you were heading into! We have seen some other shady tours that work out of a tent with duct tape on their copter!! 'My wife and I were seated in the front but any seat in their Air Bus helicopters area a good seat. Our captain was Brody a 16 year pilot and island native. He was very knowledgeable about the island and kept my wife at ease with his flying abilities. The scenery from the air is unbelievable ! If you come to Kauai you have to do is trip. From the water falls to the cliffs to just seeing the different terrain from one side of the island to another is fantastic. To hear Brody explain the deep heritage from the islanders and how they used to survive on the island is mesmerizing. He talks from his heart why he tells you about the island. The last part of the trip you are taken to the top of the island which is the wettest place on earth, it gets like 35' of rain per year. It is spectacular! Hopefully the gods will give you a clear day to see it! Mahalo Blue Hawaiian and capt Brody.

Went for a 2 hour helicopter ride with pilot Gary O. What a great experience. I am happy that we planned this early in our trip because we now have a better sense of what to do the rest of the week. Gary was very knowledgeable and really added to the trip. We took the 7:00 am option which I recommend. The highlight was getting to fly through a number of valleys where we got to see many waterfalls up close.

If one is going to do a helicopter flight this is the One to pick, the copters are Quite almost as if one was riding in a car and I felt Safe , we had Kristi as our pilot she gave a detailed description on the highlight as we flew over them but the real plus for me was when we flew the path the the Japanese flew when they bombed Pearl Harbor and came right over the Arizona and gave ample time to take pictures

We had Karl fly us and what a treat it was! He knew so much about the island and gave our family an extremely smooth ride. He flew us along the lava flow to the ocean, over the rain forest and beautiful waterfalls.

good helicopter tour but i guess somehow expected more content from pilot and lower views from flying did whole island tour and hit most of the major spots in the 45 min flight had choice of similar tour on other companies and the concierge was probably right this company ah a more corporate feel vs customer but i would recomend

Took a tour of the island with my wife and two kids. Had a fantastic time. Flew over where several movies were filmed, the coast, canyon, etc. Pilot was Greg, he was very good, added humor and facts to the tour. Helicopter felt very safe and was roomy. Kauai is stunning from above. First class company and experience.

First we watched a safety video then got ready for our flight. Brody was our pilot. He was on the serious side but very informative. We could ask questions once we were on our way. The scenery was beautiful and different depending on what part of the island we were flying over. We got close to the side of mountains and near waterfalls. Brody also knew so much about the island and told of the respect for the Hawaiian gods and people. I felt very safe. There was only one problem it went by too quick!
