5.00We had our tour with another company cancel on us 30 minutes before our reservation but Blue Hawaiian was able to book us for a couple hours later and we went with Chewie. He was absolutely incredible! Super informative, really friendly, the music was great, absolutely a must-do with this company!

5.00Blue Hawaii Adventures was a great way to see the entire island from the air. From "Jurassic Falls" to Waimea Canyon to the Na Pali coast the scenery is spectacular. Our pilot was easy going and friendly, providing just the right amount of information while playing the perfect background music for our flight. Our group would highly recommend this tour!!
Breathtakingly beautiful!

5.00Our eco adventure helicopter ride was breathtakingly beautiful and so very worth it! We boarded in Lihue and all the Staff were so friendly and helpful. Steve, our pilot, did a fantastic job narrating what we were seeing. We were incredibly blessed to see an abundance of waterfalls and a huge rainbow since it had heavily rained the day before. We flew into the dormant (extinct?) volcano and saw the majesty of God’s creation across the entire island. We did take non-drowsy Dramamine beforehand and didn’t experience any motion sickness so would highly recommend doing that. In the high winds we were glad we paid to be in the bigger enclosed helicopters that Blue Hawaiian uses rather than skimping on a smaller or no-doors version. If you’re considering it, go for it!
Great experience in the air, not on the ground

4.00I would've given less stars, but our pilot, Steven, and the flight itself was spectacular. Steven was very enthusiastic and excited to share the island of Kauai with us. We got to see incredible views of Kauai, including some places that are only accessible by helicopter, like the Jurassic Park waterfall. However, I can't ignore the customer service I received prior to the flight. When my family of 5 arrived, the front desk agent was unfriendly. Upon arriving less than an hour before takeoff, she informed us that since a helicopter holds 6 people, we could either: A) pay $300 extra to fill that seat and be able to "pick our seats" (when in actuality, each person's weight decides our seats), or B) give up that seat to a stranger AND lose the ability to pick where we sit (according to her, which was not true). The way she explained this to us came across as though she didn't care about our situation. Our family decided that since the original cost was high to begin with, it would be outrageous to spend an additional $300. As it turned out, no extra person came onto the flight anyway. In addition, we read online from other reviewers that we should be wearing long-sleeved dark clothing to minimize the reflection in our photos and looking out the window in general. When we showed up wearing these clothes, the workers told us that we'd be hot in the helicopters and we were encouraged to buy $25 black Blue Hawaiian t-shirts, which 3 of us purchased because we were worried we'd be uncomfortable. In reality, the temperature in the helicopter was very comfortable (and you should be wearing long sleeves). Although our experience on the ground wasn't the best, the pilot and flight made up for it, and I would still strongly recommend to take a helicopter tour.
Low safety standards relative to other operators

1.00The tour was nice, but the helicopter cabin is filled with oil vapor, so bring a high quality mask for the flight. I was dizzy during and after the tour due to the hot oil and exhaust smell in the cabin. I would choose another operator with higher health and safety standards.
Great ride

5.00Friendly staff. Experienced pilots. Smooth ride. Great experience . Some of the best views of the island

5.00Put your worries aside and enjoy the ride. The flight is smoother than riding a bus, and the most beautiful views I have ever witnessed. I have flown in several helicopters over the years. I have never had a more enjoyable, professionally run, and stress free flights. I wish I could give Blue Hawaii more stars.
Stunning Views Worth The Price

5.00When my guy and I were planning a trip to Hawaii, the helicopter tour was at the top of his list. We had both done this tour before with other people, but this was something we wanted to do together. And since we had both flown with Blue Hawaiian before, we knew that we wanted to fly with them again. We were able to easily book our flights online once we got to the island and looked at the weather for the week. We picked a day that was supposed to be clear and we ended up having a beautiful day. We paid extra for the front seats. I sat next to our pilot Marshall. who was fabulous. My guy sat to my right and had what I thought was the best view in the house. He was able to get lots of beautiful pictures without a lot of glare. Sitting in the middle made it a little bit more difficult for me because I had a lot of glare and a lot of my pictures had the console. I was able to cut a lot of it out, but his pictures were definitely better than mine. I also took a lot of movies and so we opted not to buy the recording that they film for you. On my last trip 15 years ago, I bought the recording and I don’t ever remember opening the CD box. The seating is comfortable, with 2 seats in the front and up to 4 in the back. Everyone wears headsets so you can hear the narration given by the pilot. You also have a mic so that you can ask questions and have a conversation back-and-forth that everyone can hear. That conversation is also part of the recording being done. The flight itself was just under an hour long. It took you all around the island. The views were stunning. My favorites were the waterfalls, also called the Jurassic Falls, and the Nepali Coast. In the helicopter, you get to see so many sides that you cannot see from the or a boat. Yes, it is pricey, but it was definitely worth it. You won’t be sorry spending the money making this memory.
The entire staff was very...
