Taking a helicopter ride is certainly a beautiful way to see the island. The helicopters were modern and our pilot was very friendly, informative and well trained. We felt safe, well, except when he went up in the cavern, but that was me, not him! Our pilot, Marty, was very informative and sociable. And the on ground crew was very professional as well. My only complaint is the reflections from the glass on the helicopter itself makes it hard to get pictures without reflections. To their credit, they provide black tshirts, but folks tennis shoes, my phone case emblem, etc, reflect in many of the pictures. You can get around this about 60% of the time and I'm not sure if this is an issue with other companies, we did not have this issue in Alaska but those choppers were definitely older. This company is progressive with their Eco friendly choppers, so maybe that is the trade off. Highly recommend this trip and group, with that said,

Utterly professional, informative, friendly, educational. The flight was amazing and comfortable. 10 stars for them!

This was our third trip by helicopter, second on Blue Hawaiian. After doing Blue Hawaiian, we'll never try another copter company. This is the cadillac of helicopters. Great pilots, great headsets, great views. It was raining this time so we couldn't go into Mt. Waialeale, but we saw a full rainbow in Waimea Canyon that kept shifting as we moved. It was truly one of those "thin" places that spiritual folks talk about. The safety briefing and care of the grounds crew is unsurpassed. The facility where you meet is beautiful and easy to relax in while you wait. Definitely a must-do!

My parents treated my husband and I to this amazing helicopter tour of Kauai for our honeymoon because we thought it was too expensive and boy am I glad they did. I would have really felt like we missed out on something had we not taken this tour. Shay was a great pilot, with lots of history and fun tidbits during the ride. He also made us feel completely safe, always letting us know when we may feel some turbulence. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and there is no better way to see the island. The music played during the ride was great, especially the Jurassic Park theme song! Any seat from the helicopter pretty much had a great view, but try to request window or front seats, though this depends on your weight. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to hike the Napali coast, so I'm so glad we were able to see everything from the air. Great tour!

I wanted to book a helicopter tour in Kauai as a birthday gift for my husband. I did a lot of research into the many options available looking at both price and reviews and finally decided on Blue Hawaiian which turned out to be the perfect choice. From the very beginning asking questions on their on-line chat forum, through to check in and the safety briefing the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. But the highlight, unquestionably, is the actual trip. Our pilot Trevor was fantastic. He was so nice and engaging during the trip while always instilling you with a sense of security. And the scenery is just breathtaking. A helicopter ride truly is the only way to see the island of Kauai with the majority of it being uninhabited. The rugged, untouched beauty of the island interior is something you just have to see for yourself. I cannot recommend the trip or this company enough, it truly was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii and a birthday gift my husband is never going to forget.

In my opinion there is no other way to experience the volcanoes of the Big Island. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and made even the fear of flying patrons feel very at ease. Smooth ride, absolutely incredible views and worth every dollar we spent on this tour. Their dedication to safety and giving you an A Plus Plus Experience is to be commended. No need to look any further - this is the company to book with !

We loved the experience from beginning to end. The flight was so smooth and Julie is a great pilot. The best way to see the island.

This would have to be the highlight of my time in Hawaii. Brodie our pilot took us all over the mountain ranges and told all about his heritage and the heritage of the island. The scenic view was amazing. A must do.

Our pilot (Shay) was fantastic! for a helicopter full of first-timers he was calm, informative, and a pleasure to be with. This was our first time and we saw sights that people simply cannot see from the ground. We HIGHLY recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours.

Our helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian and specifically pilot Geoffrey was excellent. They made sure safety was the number 1 priority. Pilot Geoffrey is a former Army helicopter pilot and he made sure we felt safe. He was very professional and gave us a wonderful tour with matching background music which I appreciated. Our tour came with the video of our helicopter ride. I highly recommend you purchase the video to keep as a souvenir. You get to relive the actual tour with the same conversations you had while on flight. You have to see Kauai and specifically the Napali Coast by air. There are other companies but I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian.

We arrived at 6:30 and the ship has to go through the whole US customs ordeal. We were scheduled to disembark at 9:00 because our helicopter tour is scheduled for pickup at 10:00. Pick up was on time and then it was a quick 15 minute trip over to the airport. There are about four different helicopter tour franchises at the airport. Tom had scoped them all out a month or two before we departed on our adventure and settled on Kauai Eco Adventure flight = Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, mainly because they seemed to be the most professional with the latest state of the art craft that was specifically designed (big windows) for sightseeing. A second reason also was the ship also used Blue Hawaiian for their ship-sponsored tours. Interesting $ and logistic points here (for those interested): • The ship tour cost was $270 PP. • Our prepaid purchase ticket cost (we obtained via the internet from BH) was $210. • The cost if you walked up to the BH facility with no reservation (and they have an opening) is $235. • BH has six Helicopters. • Again we pre-purchased our reservation which carried a 24 hr. cancelation policy, plus they are very sensitive with issues should the ship arrival become a problem. • The other helicopter services are run out of tents with porta potties next to the airport fence, do not have a large number of craft, and those craft appear to be much older and not really designed (set up) for sightseeing. (Tom’s observation, only). • The BH group has a large, organized, modern and comfortable building. • You should not wear any bright clothing as such can reflect on the windows and ruin your pictures. • We took our standard High Definition video camera, and the Go Pro camera, but we had to remove the hand grip handle from the Go Pro (Even though the underwater handle we use on the Go Pro is small) as BH has standard rules about the size or any form of attachment to hand held cameras). • The Blue Hawaiian helicopters are air-conditioned, thus you have no issues with cabin temperature. • The Blue Hawaiian helicopters have inflatable float bags along their skids, should they need to be inflated for a water landing. • The pilot narrates the whole time, with each passenger (there were six of us on board) have earphones listening to his narration and Hawaiian musical background. Each passenger has a microphone where he/she can ask questions . • There are two cameras on the helicopter that captures the inside of the cabin and a forward view. A standard or high definition DVD video with sound is available for sale ($25) of your actual flight. The video is initially on a stick where the terminal people than quickly edit it and show parts of it in the waiting area (covers about 15minutes of the flight). It looks to be well worth it as the pilot’s narrative is included! We did not purchase one as our two video cameras ran almost continuously for most of the 50-minute flight. We viewed so much but it is almost impossible to find all the words to even start to try to explain what we viewed / experienced in our 50-minute flight around and over this beautiful island and its rugged interior. Neither of us have ever been on a helicopter before, but we both (even Tom) found this part of our overall adventure to be close to the top highlight of our trip. Outside temperature was a very comfortable 75F, with mostly clear skies, other than the very top of the extinct volcano (Mt. Waialeale) which is capped at the very top with a rain cloud most of the time. They say this part of the island gets over 400 inches of rain a year. 90% of this island is impassable to the average tourist other than via a helicopter tour. The flight over the remote Napali beaches was fantastic, followed by the flight into Waimea Canyon and its beautiful waterfalls, but the topper was the flight right up the curf in the volcano rim (where the lava use to pour out about 5 million years ago) and up towards the top of Mt Waialeale. It was weird to see these water falls that were litterly coming right off the tops of the mountain as there appeared to be no source other than the actual ongoing rain up there. It was obvious why so many movies have been made on this island (Pilot pointed out these locations)! We took a lot of video, but honestly, this is the type of adventure (flight) you may need to take more than once, as the sensory overload of our 50-minute flight overwhelmed us. One couple said that they were so happy that they had taken this flight over Kauai AFTER they had taken a similar flight over the Big Island, as the Kauai experience was so much more dramatic, and the reverse order may have proven disappointing to them on the big island.

Blue Hawaiian was top notch all the way! Very professional staff, extremely smooth helicopters and our pilot, Shay, was awesome. It was our family of four (kids 7 & 10) first time in a helicopter. We were nervous but they completely put us at ease. After the debriefing we felt prepared and the ride was awe inspiring. This was our favorite activity while in Kauai!

We had been told to take this ride if this was the only one that we ever took in our lives. This person was correct. The scenery was fantastic. The company was so professional and safety conscientious. They also made a flight video of our trip which was certainly a plus. We highly recommend Blue Hawaiian.

Absolutely the best flight we have been on. The vi ews and content of the island was outstanding. Our pilot Trevor was excellent. Thoroughly recommend it to all. Mahalo Paul & Veroni
