We flew with Blue Hawaiian on Kauai just a couple of days into our trip. Corny as it is, when you take off to the theme song to Hawaii 50, a grin spreads over your face. We saw everything we thought we'd see and more. Flying into an extinct volcanic caldera was awesome as were all of the waterfalls. Pilot rotated the copter so everyone could see. Tip: I called instead of booking on line and requested the front seat for my husband and myself, and we got it which was fantastic.

This was my first helicopter tour ever and what a beautiful experience it was. We threw expense to the wind and decided to take this once in a lifetime adventure. Though it was short (1 hour), it was well worth it to get a totally awesome aerial view of the entire island. From the many canyons and waterfalls, Na Pali Coast to Hanalei Bay, I couldn't have soaked in so much scenery any other way. The Blue Hawaiian helicopters are top of the line and very comfortable. My seat was by a window so my view could not have been any more spectacular. I was a little concerned about getting a middle seat in the back row, but my husband assured me that his view point was just as spectacular. I know other companies tout their no door adventures, but personally I preferred the closed door one and not having to worry about temperature/wind control and whether I wore the right attire. Do wear dark clothing as instructed for picture taking will come out better. Blue Hawaiian does provide a flash drive of your specific tour for a nominal fee, but there is no reason why you can't take all the pictures that you want to.

The staff was laser focused on safety, which was a great comfort to my wife who was a bit nervous about our first helicopter ride (once we got passed the receptionists ill-conceived attempt at humor about it being a sky-diving excursion when we checked-in). The helicopter was a bit cramped, but had reasonably comfortable seats and was air-conditioned. The staff might the entry and exit painless. But this 50 minute helicopter tour is all about the views. You won't see many of the spectacular sights in Kauai unless you go by copter or you are prepared for a strenuous eight-hour hike. The pilot was very knowledgable and friendly which added to the trip. I could have done without the some-times cheesy music, but the fabulous views overwhelmed any detraction from it. Be prepared to pay more than $200 per person though.

I had never been in a helicopter before so i was rather nervous about this trip. My hot air ballon experience in Queensland didn't go so well sothis was a biggy for me. Marty the pilot made us feel very secure and before he could say Aloha we were up, up and away. Driving a round Kauai is a beautiful place,however from the air it's simply amazing! We flew over every beach and visited up close the canyons and craters. Words fail me to describe the awesome sites you will see. Definatley worth the experience. Happyily I didn't need the comfort bag! Thanks Marty

My husband's family and I went on the early morning helicopter tour of the big island and that early wake-up time was well worth it. It was the perfect day to view the Big Island from above and we saw so many things we would not have experienced otherwise during our short stay. An active volcano with smoke billowing out and two eyes from the hot magma, lava flowing into the ocean and releasing steam, centuries of old lava dried and leaving it's mark on the island. Valleys and so many beautiful waterfalls! It was truly a spectacular start to our trip! Our pilot Greg was so funny, he answered all of our questions and he made our trip even more memorable! The one regrettable problem from our ride was that malfunction of our on-board video camera that recorded our specific trip with videos of the views we saw as well. We purchased it, but when we came back to retrieve our video an hour later, we were told that our file was corrupt and not able to be copied to the USB. We were given the generic video which is better than nothing, it is just unfortunate that this happened. Overall, highly recommend that you take this helicopter tour! But I would caution you to take your own photos and videos in the event that the on board video does not work.

This was a great tour and the view are beautiful as the ride takes you from Wakiki to the North Shore then across to Pearl Harbor. Lovely sighting of the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri.

Amazing, I intend fully to do this tour on all the hawaiian islands. If you do it at the start of your trip you get a really good idea of what you want to do on the island.

Took the Big Island Spectacular Tour (including the optional waterfall landing) with my wife and 8-year old daughter and it was amazing. Our pilot Jason was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great view as we flew by the volcanos and over the area where the lava is currently meeting the ocean. We had a brief stop in Hilo where we were able to clean up a bit and then headed north to the landing by the waterfall. Would not hesitate to recommend Blue Hawaiian or this tour!

It's hard to spend the money, but Hawaii is generally a once in a lifetime experience...just do it. Pilot was professional and knowledgeable about the area and interacted well with the passengers. We all felt very safe and saw areas not accessible by any other means.

I didn't expecn much of this tour as I'm grequent aircraft passenger, but this experience was completely different and completely amazing! First, the flight went so smooth, we didn't even feel how we took off! Yes, we were aware that heli is equipped with some engine stability system (or smth like that), but still we expected some shaking while taking off. And we even didn't feel it) Second, my bf doesn't like to fly at all, he afraids of take-offs a little (or more than little). But in this case he felt soooo good and calm, that he could enjoy whole the jorney till the very end) Third: in our case we didn't get to see the waterfall in the mountains due to windy weather. But God, we saw soooo many beautiful things, that no fall was absolutely ok! Beautiful beaches, curvy waves, white yachts in a deep turquoise waters, fluffy mountain tops, geometrically correct slopes, some signs of humans civilization that is so considerate and caring to stunning local nature. It was really exciting to see and recognize the places we hiked every day within 2 weeks from an altitude! We both loved it! Though the tour is a bit expensive for us, and if not my bf, I wouldn't attend it, but in the end we're so impressed! And we still are)

My wife and I had a great time seeing the attractions of the island from the air. The pilot, a woman who learned to fly in the army, was exceptionally well informed and polite. Most importantly, she did not try to pull all those stunts that sometimes pilots of choppers can't resist doing. We saw beaches and sand bars and resorts and the ships of the navy. It was a tremendous experience. And, of course, the weather was perfect.

Best way to see Kauai. The one hour tour showed us an aerial view of the whole island. The Napali Coast and waterfalls were awesome. We go super close to one of the falls. There were only two slightly negative things which was out of there control. The a large portion of the helicopter is glass which gives awesome views but also makes it really hot. Even my sandals were getting hot towards the end. Don't wear a bright colored shirt or you will have to put a black t-shirt on over yours (the color will reflect in photos) making you even more warm. Secondly if you get motion sickness at all take Dramamine. I thought I was going to be sick at the end other than that it was amazing.

We booked this tour through NCL for myself, my wife and my eldest daughter. The first part of the tour was the Earth part. We visited a number of locations with our Tour Guide Domi. He was an excellent guide, providing us a lot of details about the island, Hawaiians and the Aloha spirit. We ate lunch at the beach and sang songs and learned a hula. The second part of the tour was a helicopter tour of waimea canyon with Blue Hawaiian tours. We had Greg as our pilot and we had a great time seeing the canyon and the coastline. I highly recommend this tour.

This is expensive, but then flying helicopters is expensive. We took the Island Spectacular for 2 hours in the air. The flight over land to get to the edge of the island was necessary given where we started. It did not add anything to the trip. The flight up the coast was enjoyable and really the only way you could see this was by flying. The flight to see the volcano and the lava fields was excellent. It was on the trip back where Greg G - a most excellent pilot - flew us into one of the valleys along the coast that made for a spectacular trip. We saw waterfalls and land formations we would never have seen otherwise and I still have vivid memories of fly close to the falls. Expensive, like going to see a current great Broadway play, and this time it was well worth the cost of admission.

We had a very good 50 minute flight with Tim our pilot. He made sure that we got good views for pictures and provided good comentary as we flew around. A very professional and comfortable experience.
