Superb tour! Excellent pilot/tour guide. This is a top-notch operation with no detail overlooked. I really liked the narration provided on headsets during the flight which included music as you fly over all the interesting sites. Close ups of the waterfalls, volcanoes, and other significant sites made the two hour trip seem to be over in a snap! I loved the final approach to the airport as the music was "Ol Sachmo" singing "It's a Wonderful Life."
This was really a trip of a lifetime!!!!! Loved every minute of it!!! This was on mom's bucketlist, first time in a helicoptor, didn't know what to expect and was so very well surprized and pleased. Really from start to finish all were very professional, kind and informative, answered all of our silly questions (I bet you get them all the time). Just beware the little platform at the counter ...it's a scale holy moly the weight you put on while vacationing lol. Just was a little shocked after paying over $860.00 for 4 people that the photo plaque was not included.
Highly recommend this for anyone. I know all of the pilots are great, but I can't imagine any could be better than Eric. He was knowledgeable, personable and assuring. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny!
I never knew how beautiful a helicopter tour could be . I took my boyfriend for his birthday and he is homebody . He big guy too but they where able to accommodate us. We had a great pilot and fell extremely safe . Pictures don't do it justice.
Well worth the money, even on a rainy day. Loved the tour and would do it again. Everyone involved in in the tour was pleasant, from the pilot to the shuttle driver. Great time??!
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter: Kauai ECO Adventure tour. Felt this was the best outfit to use after researching the other outfits which are probably fine but his one uses the ECO Star helicopters and pricing was the same or less. Given the rainy weather during our stay in Kauai, I wasn't sure on the experience. There were a lot of clouds & mist but once the helicopter got close enough you could see all these waterfalls all over the place that you normally would not see so that was impressive in itself. There was a lot of water on the windows but it beaded off quickly enough that you can still see. Turns out that the Waimea and the Na'pali coast was clear enough that we got great views of those areas. I was fortunate to have a front seat so I could see almost see everything, but the pilot made sure to turn the helicopter around enough so passengers on both sides could see the good stuff. I did not find the helicopter noise an issue once the comfy headphones were in place. I could hear everyone very well and it was two way communication with the pilot. Theme music filled the gaps. $40 video is of good quality and sure there is some raindrops on the lens during the wet parts but it was still viewable and what these cameras captured in flight is hard to beat with your own handheld camera. Boarding procedures were smooth and professional. I had very good customer service with booking and questions answered as I had concerns about seating. Even though I missed the window to use their online discount I snagged an AAA discount when I phoned to book. I would recommend this outfit to people and we would use them again.
An absolute must do when on the island of Kauai! Our pilot, Beth was awesome and weather permitted a flight into the crater of Mount Wai'ali'ali which even in a light rain was awe inspiring.
We hesitated spending the money for this extra trip (family of four, 13 yr old boy, 10 yr old daughter and two parents in the 40's). But since this was bucket list item that we needed to check, we were excited to make the investment. Totally well worth it. Our pilot was a calm, cool character who is an island native named Brody. Brody had a ton of knowledge that he shared as he navigated through canyons and dipped down the coast... It was awe inspiriting and even our 13 yr old son said that he got teary eyed as the Napali coast came into view. The cathedrals were just amazing and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Our whole family had a blast. The only way to see this beautiful garden paradise.
Well, it is expensive. But, this is an absolute to do activity. The pilot Scotty took us around entire garden island, Kauai. We could see plenty of water falls around Napali coast along the lust green rainforest. Our pilot was very courteous and was explaining many aspects about the landscape, locations where movies where taken. He even took us to a crater where it was surrounded with cascaded waterfalls. Only thing I can lament about is, he did not take us near Jurassic falls as we just went over it.
What can I add to 1500+ reviews. But, our decision to see the Na'pali Coast was either by boat or helicopter. We chose this tour and were very glad we did. The view was spectacular..of the entire island. And, the pilot was informative and very engaging. It costs a bit more than a boat trip, but you see the island that takes your breath away.
took to the air in the helicopter and what an experience it was absolutely fantastic this is a must if you visit Hawaii fantastic and well-informed Tim who flew it over the sites this is a fantastic natural phenomenon well done you guys envious of the job
Our first time in Hawaii and our first helicopter ride. We opted for the hour-and-a-half volcano and waterfall tour in the Eco-Star copter. Wesley, the pilot, was wonderful and the tour was spectacular. Highly recommended!
WOW. What an amazing experience. We did the full island experience including the volcanoes, lava, and rainforest valleys. We went when the weather was horrible and had to reschedule 3 times because of rain but FINALLY went and it was worth the wait. We saw so much and it was truly unbelievable. Toshi took us the first time (then turned around because of weather) and he was so funny and knowledgeable. We went with Carl the 3rd time and he was great! Knew just when to talk and just when to be quiet so we could enjoy the experience. Highly suggest!!!!!
WOW!! Not only do you get to experience some amazing views of the island, it comes with an extremely informative commentary from the pilot. The 'extra mile' was that our pilot Janette talked to everyone by name throughout the flight. She remembered all names and where everyone was sitting so made it a very personal journey and experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Went on the 2 hour trip and it was amazing! The pilot "GO" was friendly and he selected awesome music to go with our ride! Well worth the money and felt very safe in their ECO helicopter.
