My wife and I Had a great time recently last month with this fantastic helicopter flight, sorry it's so late to let you guys know about it, Jen (pilot) was so good and really involved us. We recommended Blue Hawaii to our daughter Melissa and friend Sharna as a must do this when they come for holidays. They had their experience with you guys last week with Brody (pilot) It was for them and us the best overview of Oahu and the best tour ever. We plan to come back again next year and will do it all over again on another island. So professional but so personal. Thanks guys for these memories. ? Loved the soundtrack that went with the tour. ?
I just took the 2 hour tour of the Big Island with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. I took the Ecostar and our pilot was Ian. I can say without a doubt that I will never forget this tour. Our pilot was wonderful, very knowledgeable and just pleasant and personable. Words cannot describe the beauty of this helicopter tour. It is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I will likely return to the big island and will definitely do another Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour.
Rather expensive but absolutely worth every cent! Our pilot was Steve and he was amazing! Full of knowledge and great personality also. Was definitely the best experience of my life!! You don't get to pick your seat due to weight distribution but don't let that worry you because we were in the back and saw everything. If you can afford it just do it! Staff on the ground were more than helpful and went out of their way to be accommodating even to the extent of driving us back to Kona airport. Cannot say enough about how great this was!! Mahalo ????
You can't control which seat you get and yet that makes a real difference. If you don't sit in front, your experience, while very good, is impacted by always looking out the side window. The impact of watching the mountain come at you is lost. So for us we were a little disappointed because we had an image in our mind (and after watching the videos showing in the waiting room), yet only the people in the front seat actually get to have the experience of coming right up to the edge and over the top. Good experience for sure but not quite what we expected based on their videos (which we believe is due to being in the back seat and having no view of what was going on up front).
Nice trip and I was looking forward to buying the Blu Ray but all they would sell me was a thumb drive for $40.00! I got it and will download it when I get home but I wanted a Blu Ray. No port on my Apple iPad or cell phone.
For the love of my husband I agreed to take one, and only one helicopter ride. Call it a slight fear of flying. In any event, my husband and another couple from the mainland took the helicopter tour with a pilot named Geoff. Geoff was very knowledgeable and friendly - in fact when I got off the helicopter I turned to my husband and said "I would do that again, as long as Geoff is our pilot." Great Job ! Mahalo.
What a great flight and tour allowing us to see all the terrain in Kauai. With only 27% of the island accessible via car, this helicopter tour was first class. Our pilot was an ex Marine and made my wife and I feel very safe. A great job and shout out to Trevor. A beautiful helicopter with nice music and microphones for asking any questions was appreciated. Blue Hawaiian may be a bit pricier than other helicopter tours but money well spent for safety and comfort.
This was our first time in Kauai. Blue Hawaiian was the best rated on Trip Advisor and it deserves this rating. The ground crew was very professional, Our Pilot Geoffry was extremely friendly, a very skilled pilot and knowledgeable of the entire tour. He made our adventure very enjoyable. This tour is well worth the cost and gives you a fantastic overview of what this entire island has to offer. It absolutely beautiful. Ju.st a quick note, if you have a GO Pro - Bring it
Ok so I'm not posting one photo because you really need to see it yourself. Amazing flight thanks to GoGo he really made the flight special. We learnt a lot and he gives great travel ideas for you to do on the tour and points out how to get there etc. We already did the big island tour with diamond head and they were amazing too. He pointed out much of what we did and all that we did was great so A+ for the tips GoGo. You even get the opportunity to purchase the video from your actual flight too!! Thanks again for the great experience we will never forget.
Yes it is a little pricey compared to most tours you will don while on any vacation however this is probably the BEST tour you will ever do. The views of active lava coming out of the volcano, the waterfalls of over 2500 feet and the rest of the island is AMAZING! defiantly get the zip drive of your tour!! GREAT TOUR LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!
Never been on a helicopter in my life till I jumped on this one. IT was smooth and never felt safer with their pilots. What a great way to look at OAHU! Wow... I don't think there was a bad seat in the chopper. The views of the island are amazing... can't say much about it. The pilots tell you a lot of the area.. Point out the malls, Gilligans island, Magnum P.I. house.... movie seats and more. Great price... for about 45 mins of touring. I used my AAA discount.. only paid 210. Enjoy! aloha
We had enjoyed helicopter tours before but this was one of the best! The pilot provided local knowledge blended with his own experiences and sardonic humor. I am a photographer and he accommodated my angles and views as much as possible so that I could get the best shot. Our only unhappiness is that it was over in what seemed like a blink of the eye!
We were debating where to go for helicopter tour but indeed around the Lihue airport you get the best prices. They had a clean comfortable air conditioned store to wait and get your safety briefing. Other companies just had port a potties. The helicopters were brand new and super nice. Standard seats 7 including the pilot. You go with strangers but really its no big deal! The video didn't work but they called us later and sent us the video for free to our home so that was great customer service!
We went with our family of 5 - 3 children, 2 adults! Trevor was our pilot... He was PHENOMENAL! Very informative, personable and wonderful with the kids! 1st class operation.
We’d flown with Blue Hawaiian on Maui previously, so when we made our first trip to Kauai, it was a no-brainer to do the island tour with them. Once again, we had an incredible flight! We were in the back seat and had no issues seeing all of the sights as our pilot, Barrett, was sure to rotate the helicopter so everyone got a view. Seeing the Na Pali Coast as well as Waimea Canyon from the air was absolutely breathtaking! It rained for much of our flight – quite common on Kauai – but it didn’t damper our experience in the least. The only disappointment is that they no longer offer DVDs or Blu-Rays of your actual flight (although their web site still says they do). Instead, they sell you your video on a flash drive that’s begging to be misplaced for $40.
