I have want to see the lava flow into the ocean for years and was so excited to see it was flowing. I have plate and pins in my ankle so I was unable to hike to the lava. We took Blue Hawaiian Helicopters years ago and had a great time. I told them I am a professional photographer and wanted to go if they had a window seat. We drive from Kona on Sunday only to have the weather rain us out. I came back out on Tuesday and did the 9 am. Since I was a solo I was told I would get a window. I did but the back, the view is rather obstructed in the back for photography. The man in the front seat wore a shirt with a white strip down both arms, this reflected in the glass and ruined every picture I took. Please if you are taking this trip wear a solid dark color, As the paper work tells you . They were nice and offered me the movie, but I cried the whole time so I didn't want to see that. It was very expensive and I saved to do this once in a lifetime trip. I was so looking forward to shooting this adventure , I don't have any decent shots without the white stripe.

The views were stunning to see from the air, I would definitely recommend a helicopter tour. Blue Hawaiian were professional and the check in/boarding process was smooth. The pilot was very nice and helpful/informative. We were lucky when we went because Waimea Canyon was clear and you could see so much, it was purely amazing and breathtaking. We went along the Napali coast, Waimea Canyon, saw lots of waterfalls and into the crater. The only downside of this was I was seated in the 2nd row in the middle so I didn't have immediate access to a window to see out. I think it's better for those that get put in the front seat because can see the complete picture out the front versus looking over or through seats, which was a downfall because alot of my pictures have other people's body parts in them and/or I couldn't get a few shots I wanted due to the people on the edges taking photos so they're right in the middle of my pictures. However, they balance the helicopter via weight so there isn't much a person can do other than hope they're in the front.

My friend and I did a helicopter tour first thing Monday when we got to Kauai, based on the suggestion from others that these tours are a great way to become oriented to the island of Kauai. I wanted to use a different company, but that company didn't answer the phone, so Blue Hawaiian was my next choice. Everyone was so professional, from the booking agent to the employees at check-in. I really appreciated their professionalism. Marty was our pilot. As we were seated in the helicopter, he verified who we were and asked us where we were from. There were two people seated in front with Marty and four of us in back. Seating is according to weight. Windows are everywhere. When you book you're told to wear dark clothes to reduce glare on the windows for photos. Don't panic when the pilot gets to the "Jurassic Park" waterfall and you're initially on what seems to be the wrong side; he won't leave you out of the photo op -- he'll turn the helicopter so you can see too. You're also given some microphones when you're getting buckled in so if there's something you want a better look at during the flight, you can key the mic and ask. I did get just a little queasy to where by the time we landed I needed just a moment to take a seat and collect myself. It doesn't seem like you're traveling as fast as you are. The flight was not too rough but there were some bumps and dips. We went on the 11:30 a.m. flight and the booking agent said that's one of the best times to fly Kauai because that's when the rain has moved off, if there was any. We were able to book it the day before we flew but Blue Hawaiian had a lot of flight time options throughout the week.

Excellent tour and very knowledgeable tour guides. Helicopters are superior and staff makes you feel safe, yet gets the most out of the trip around the island. Scenes all over the island including mountains, waterfalls, coast lines, crater, etc. 100% recommend this tour and this company!! Book through Expedia and get a free T shirt and dvd.

We took the 2-hour tour (Big Island Spectacular), which shows not only the craters and lava flowing towards the ocean, but also the awesome waterfalls and steep cliffs of the Kohala Mountains. It is definitely an experience of a lifetime! As a background music plays on the phones, the pilot gives the necessary explanation of what you are seeing. Be sure to pick the Eco-Star aircraft. Since you are not the one who chooses where you'll be seating, this model offers a better view for those sitting on the back seats.

I took the Big Island Spectacual. Elli was a great pilot. His information was interesting and his flying skills amazing. I got such a great taste of the island that it saved a lot of driving around. The only downfall was the view of the volcano activity was very limited- just the ocean entry- no summit, no Pu'u o'o crater. I actually took a tour with another outfit just for that after this one.

There is nothing more I can say. Me and the wife had a tour booked today just got back to the hotel and we couldn't stop saying how brilliant it was. We have had helicopter tours in New York but this was a little bit expensive but for 45 minutes you are up there it was amazing. Thank you to everyone and especially our pilot Julie she was amazing pilot.

Definitely spend the extra bucks to fly the Echo Star. Much better views and environment. Very well organized & efficient tour. Adolph was excellent pilot & made sure we ALL got good views. He needs to learn more about the area and history to be a more effective guide. Appreciated that they put my lunch in fridge while I toured with them.

We were on the 2:00 flight on Saturday with Marty. Loved this experience! The scenery is breathtaking and there's a reverence about the island. Every song on the playlist was appropriate and thoughtfully chosen. Marty was a great pilot and narrator! I wished we had done it at the beginning of our trip to get our bearings of the island, but it was a memorable way to end our week as well! Thank you! I'd totally do it again and use blue Hawaiian when we go to the other islands. Very safe.

Our pilot, Brody, was really great. Apparently the peak of the mountain is usually fogged in, but our morning was clear so he was able to show us the highest peak on Kauai. It was an amazing tour. Be sure to wear dark shirts and shorts because your pics will be better wo the reflection of your pants. Trust me on this. It is 100% worth the cost. I felt safe and loved seeing the beauty of Kauai and even got to learn some valuable information about the island too. What a treat!

Six adults and a 9yo on a special family visit to Kauai were blown away by the incredible beauty of this island. Trevor our pilot was perfect: engaging, informative and humorous and the office staff were lovely. Our 7 seater provided fabulous viewing for everyone and Trevor did circles to ensure we all had viewing and photo opportunities. Rain and wind at the top were well handled as was our daughter's nausea. This is a very professional operation and we felt very safe. If you can only manage one tour in Kauai, this is the one to do.....we even flew next to a rainbow!!!

A friend of mine flies for the sister company of Blue Hawaiian so of course we had to fly with Blue Hawaiian. The staff was fabulous, friendly, and comforting! My mom and I did the 50 min tour through the island! Great way to see the island in a way even the locals haven't seen! Scott Hennessy was our pilot and he was fantastic with lots of flying experience. I want to go back!!!

Hard to find any fault with the views you get to see from up so high. We felt safe and felt our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the island. If you have the budget and can handle heights, this is a must activity!

We loved our helicopter tour on Kauai. Our pilot was very knowledgeable about the whole island. He told us about the different areas and interesting facts about them. Many movies have been filmed there and that was cool to know. My husband and I sat in the front with the pilot. I have been on a helicopter tour in the past where I was scared to death. Not this one-it was so fascinating. I was not a bit afraid.

Our pilot, Trevor, had so much information and the flight was so enjoyable! He took us down into canyons and near waterfalls. A helicopter tour really is the best way to see Kauai!
