We had an afternoon ride with Pilot Joffrey who may have been the most mellow person ever...very chill and calm, which was nice for a first-time helicopter passenger :) He grew up on the island and as a result knew tons of fun and sometimes obscure facts and gave a great running commentary. Whenever there was an especially cool/popular sight... More

One of the best tour I took in Kauai. The helicopter had a glass bottom and glass all around so we got a great view. The flight was fantastic. Flying between valleys, the Waimea Canyon, the Napali coast. Could not see these views from the ground. Because of some bad weather we had to reschedule the helicopter tour twice but... More

We did this one the 1st day of our trip. It was fantastic. Our pilot Julie was wonderful. the scenery was breathtaking. It was great to do on the first day because it cut out a lot of driving around to see attractions from the ground. Some we still drove to see. this tour was well worth the cost. More

We took a trip with Geoff, and it was very well done. I felt totally safe the whole time, and the views were amazing! There was well-timed music to go with all the changing views, and our pilot told good stories about the land and history. Honestly, the best part was all the views. If you do anything while in...

Jimmy was our pilot, but all the folks at Blue Hawaiian took great care of us. Very professional and safe. Jimmy has been living in Kauai and flying for a while so had lots to share about the land and locals. He did a great job of making sure those on each sides got a view of the sights. They... More

Very professional service. Our pilot Nathan was the best. We could communicate with him & he did a great job with a smooth flight, entertaining us while talking about the island and was engaging & asking us questions about ourselves. Gave us views from all sides of the helicopter, for pictures too. Considerate in every way. Great experience & a... More

After being cancelled at the last minute with another company we appreciated that they had 2 spots at the last minute. Was it our first choice - no. Was it different than the others - no. Were they nice, friendly, accomodating - yes. They had me by the window and my son in the middle. I asked if we could... More

Let me first say that our flight was not cancelled due to bad weather. Flights ran all morning long. After driving into Lihue from Poipu, we called in to double-check our arrival time. We were going to grab some breakfast in Lihue and wanted to make sure we were not late. When we called in we were told our 9:30am... More

Aloha! Thank you very much for your response to my e-mail! I really appreciate it. After your information was given, I looked in to this further. It was our mistake. We did have a new employee who made the mistake. She had put your reservation on a wait list pending getting your credit card as you were traveling at the... More

I beleive all the chopper companies are expensive and this was no exception. But if you're in Kauai, what better way to see the Napali coast and the volcano. The boat trips can be a challenge getting all the way up the coast if its rough. They were professional, the machine was nice and clean. The pilot was friendly and... More

I read all the helicopter reviews in both the Ultimate Guide Kauai and Lonely Planet. Based on that and getting a AAA discount, we picked Blue Hawaiian. Very professional, very nice pilot, saw amazing things. Highly recommended. More
