The Best Away To See Kauai!

David_F, Sept 2023

All of it lol! Take off to landing was absolutely breathtaking! We had seen a lot driving around the island, but that was nothing compared to seeing it from the air! Robby did a fantastic job showing the sites and giving us some history as well! I highly recommend!

Gorgeous almost overwhelming views

Spectacular

Vic_R, Sept 2023

The only way to see the hidden, most difficult to get parts of this beautiful island. And the pilot and all the members of the staff delivered on all aspects to enhance the experience. MAHALO

I highly recommend this trip

Yaritza_A, Sept 2023

This excursion was absolutely amazing. The best way to see the island of Kauai is from up above. A little pricey but definitely worth every dime.

Great experience..!!

Robbie was our pilot. He gave us a great experience and was very knowledgeable able the island. The overall experience was awesome and I would recommend doing this when you visit the island.

Amazing helicopter views with a friendly pilot

Tania_G, Sept 2023

Greg was our pilot and he was amazing! Full of great history and knowledge to share to enhance the beautiful views. He was personable and made us feel like we were getting a unique experience. It was my first helicopter experience and it was truly memorable!

Pilot Duke is the BEST

HermeniaFaith_R, Sept 2023

Pilot Duke was the best and made this experience manageable for a first time helicopter traveler. I would highly recommend asking for him during your flight.

You get to see the whole island

Brenda_R, Aug 2023

The tour, beautiful and covered the whole island, especially Nepali coast where you cannot access easily. But also inland where there are canyons and waterfalls that you cannot see otherwise. It is a priceless you and ride.

Must do on Kauai!

Michelle_M, July 2023

This was brilliant, great way to see the island and its stunning scenery especially the Na Pali Coast… breathtaking. Our pilot was Robbie, he was friendly and knowledgeable of the island and it’s history.

Unbelievable Experience!

Karen_C, July 2023

What a fantastic experience! Highly recommend this copter company! Very well put together & our pilot Barrett was super!

Knowledgeable polite

Tiffany_T, July 2023

Our pilot Barrett was fantastic. He gave us amazing views of the whole island, and he slowly spun around so everyone could see. He was knowledgeable, and as a native of Kaua’i, he gave us extra insight into life on the island. He seems to enjoys his job, which is a nice touch.

Incredible

Keith_B, May 2023

Omg!! This was so amazing!!! The only way to see the island. Great company really felt safe and totally enjoyed the experience! Nice job Blue Hawaiian

Pilot and Views are Great, Customer Service Terrible

Sorbrique_G, May 2023

The ride itself and pilot was great the information before, what to expect, and customer service was terrible. The amount of money you dish out, you’d expect more. I’d reccomend going elsewhere for a seamless experience that you can relax and enjoy on your vacation. It wasn’t until about halfway in that I enjoyed the ride because of the interactions with customer service.

Hawaii holiday
