We absolutely loved this once in a lifetime experience! Do not miss the opportunity to see Kauai from the sky! Blue Hawaiian and our pilot Amy were fantastic guides, ensuring guests felt comfortable and fully able to focus on the views.
Truly spectacular! Well worth the money. One of the best experiences of my life. Stunning beauty. Great pilot who was very knowledgeable and experienced. Felt safe.
This tour does come with a hefty price tag so it is hard to know if it is “value” for money but I can guarantee you will love the views and flight itself - if your in a position to do it I would recommend. We had some weather issues so it was actually cancelled two days in a row and they leave it up until 15minutes prior which is the pilots call so if you have a longer stay I would recommend booking it at the start so you have afew days up your sleeve if it gets cancelled. We were 3rd time lucky and it was epic! Beautiful views, waterfalls, ocean, craters everything you see in the photos. Pilot was professional and friendly and made us feel safe. We didn’t pay for the upgrade to the front seats and ended up getting them anyway - great result but the view from the back I believe it still great. Another $300 ontop of an expensive trip adds up. We had afew clouds and was still breathtaking. Best scenic flight tour I’ve done in the world!!
Beautiful, professional, and safe. The perfect helicopter tour!! Would highly recommend to anyone!!!
Everything was EXCELLENT! I literally called while aboard our noisy cruise ship 10 minute tinder ride, booked flight for a family of 6, gave my credit card and got my email confirmation before boarding the ship. Arrived early as requested, weighed in, confirmed credit card and ID, watched the safety video and boarded. Flight was thrilling, pilot was perfect, views were spectacular. Highly recommend. Worth the price.
Our family had an amazing experience on the Kauai Eco Adventure Helicopter Tour. We traveled with our 4‑year‑old toddler, and he absolutely loved the ride — taking in the views with excitement until he eventually fell asleep mid‑flight. The tour itself was breathtaking, with stunning scenery and a smooth, comfortable ride throughout. The crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel safe the entire time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for both adults and kids, and a highlight of our trip to Kauai.
First helicopter ride-felt safe. Enjoyed the sites of Waimea Canyon and coastline. However our experience did not meet the value for the price paid. Had 2 tall passengers that were over 240 pound weight limit -they were put in front seats, blocked our front view totally. The side view had reflection of the lady’s bare arm with bra strap showing and appeared in all pictures. She also suffered motion sickness during the flight. The trip is videoed and was unable to enjoy watching due to the filming of her sickness. Felt robbed of getting to fully take in the beauty and enjoyment that we were seeking.
Expensive but great experience. Views of the island were incredible
It was Amazing! If you like heights, I would definitely recommend. Steve our pilot was Awesome. My husband and I started our morning with a helicopter tour ride celebrating our 25th Anniversary 💕🌸
This was the highlight of our Hawaii cruise and worth every penny. The views of Kauai, the Na Pali Coast, waterfalls, and canyons were absolutely breathtaking. Our entire family loved it. Our pilot, Steve, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and did a wonderful job pointing out landmarks and sharing information throughout the flight. As someone who is nervous about flying, I especially appreciated how calm and confident he was. He completely put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. My only minor criticism is the check-in process. We were asked to arrive an hour early, but after being weighed and watching a brief safety video, there was a lot of waiting around, and our flight ultimately departed about 30 minutes late. It wasn’t a big enough issue to affect our enjoyment of the tour, but I think the arrival time could be shortened or the communication improved. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and a true bucket-list activity. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.
