Hawaii
I thought opportunities to ride in a Cessna are rare, so even though I don't understand much English, I signed up considering the time constraints. The office is a short walk from the airport. When I went to the reception, they confirmed my reservation and explained the course. I weighed in while carrying my luggage, and when it was time, we boarded the plane. Everyone on board wore headsets and checked their microphones. You can see the entire island and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but it shakes in the cloudy parts, so motion sickness medication is a must! Even my friend, who usually doesn't get motion sick, was feeling quite groggy by the time we landed. Still, I felt it was a great experience that I would only have once in a lifetime. It was fun!
セスナに乗る機会なんてそうそうないと思い、英語はあまり分かりませんが時間との兼ね合いも有り申し込みしました。空港から少し歩いた所にオフィスがあります。受付に行くと予約者の確認とコースの説明をされ、荷物を持ったまま体重測定をし、時間になったら乗り込みます。機内では全員ヘッドセット？を装着しマイクの確認をします。島の全貌が良くわかり、美しい景色を堪能出来ますが、雲の部分で揺れるので酔い止めは必須です！！普段酔わない友達も降りる頃にはかなりグロッキーになってしまっていました。
それでも一生に一回の良い体験をしたと思いました。楽しかったです。

This trip was terrible, expensive, and boring. With false advertisement. We were on time waiting for the bus, but it came an hour and thirty minutes later. It was ridiculous they called 3 times saying to be on time, but they were late themselves! Our guide was very bad. All he told us was the name of the attraction not the history. The bus was huge but his mic didn't work. All he had to do was change the batteries but even at a stop he didn't take the time to change them. He just was talking with other people. We could have done this with our own car and taken our time! PLEASE don't waste your money and time on this trip!!! Explore your self and take your time!!!!!!!!!
I saw waterfalls and mountains and the Na'Pali Coast. It was pretty awesome.
I had never been in a helicopter before so I was a little nervous. There was a bit of confusion on my reservation,(they had the wrong date) but the voucher was correct and soon straightened out. Blue Hawaiian has a very nice facility, an actual building not like some others using tents. The helicopter was very clean and up to date. The pilot, Mark, did a great job of narrating the entire time. Now for the view, spectacular is the best word to describe it. Most of the island is not able to be seen via car or even boat. The only real way to see it is by air and Blue Hawaiian puts you right up and personal to most of mountains, craters, valleys and waterfalls. I had the time of my life and would do it again, no question. If you are considering a helicopter adventure don't wait, just do it you'll be glad. Veltra's voucher was accepted. Thanks to Veltra and Blue Hawaiian for making my dream vacation complete.
Aloha George! We are so sorry to hear that there was a date discrepancy but thrilled to hear that you had such a vacation defining experience with Blue Hawaiian. Kauai really hides much of it's beauty in inaccessible areas so a helicopter tour really is the way go. We hope you have a chance to come back to Hawaii and see more soon!
Best way to see all the highlights of Kauai! Incredible scenery...top notch helicopters too!
We enjoyed the tour, however it was distracting to have the driver singing over the music video and playlist. No one in our group enjoyed that at all and would have rather heard local commentary, island history, or just the recorded artist's voice.
The canyon scenery, boat ride, and fern grotto were beautiful and amazing.
There are bags available on board in case you feel nauseous, and they also provide instructions on how to deal with motion sickness before the flight. So, for those who are sensitive, I think taking motion sickness medication would make for a more comfortable journey in the sky.
To be honest, it does shake quite a bit, and although the sensation is brief, it feels like a roller coaster several times. I was able to enjoy my time without any issues, taking in the views of Kauai Island from above.
However, for someone like me with very low English comprehension, I understood about 90% of the guide's explanations (laughs). Putting aside my lack of knowledge, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if there had been a Japanese brochure for Kauai Island.
機内に酔った時のために袋が常備されていますし、飛ぶ前の説明でも酔った時の対処方法を教えられます。なので弱い方は酔い止めを飲まれたほうが快適に空の旅を過ごせると思います。
正直けっこう揺れますし、ジェットコースターのような感覚が短いですが何度もあります。
私は問題なく快適に過ごせましたので、空から見るカウアイ島を満喫できました。
ただ英語の理解能力が非常に低い私にとって、ガイドの方の説明は90％分かりませんでした （笑）
自分の教養のなさを棚に上げますが、カウアイ島の日本語パンフレットがあればもっと楽しめたかな。

The view of the remote ocean that can only be seen from the sky is unique to helicopters. It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful.
Unfortunately, I ended up sitting on the inside of the back seat, but the person in the front row was almost in a tank top, so their skin reflected on the glass and appeared in all my photos. I would appreciate it if the front row passengers could be given black jackets, as other companies do, for consideration.
空からでないと見られない絶海はヘリならでは。
原始地球を垣間見たようで、素晴らしい。
運悪く後部座席の中側になってしまったが、前列の人がタンクトップに近い状態だったので、肌がガラスに反射して全ての写真に写り込んだ。前列の人には、他社が行っているように、黒色のジャケットを着せるなど、配慮が欲しい。

We had our first flight cancelled. So it was worth the wait. Beth was our pilot. She is a third generation pilot with her grandmother being first. She has 11 yrs of experience. She answered all questions. She explained every place that she flew over.
All 4 of us able to have window seats of the beautiful island.
Hi Duane, so glad you enjoyed, we appreciate your feedback, Mahalo! Ellen
It was the ride of a lifetime! We all enjoyed it and the scenery was great. Interesting narrative as well
The tour itself was really good, interesting and informing. All of the employees that took care of us were helpful and kind. The problem was the scheduling from Oahu to Kauai. We had to be picked up at 4:30 a.m. At our hotel. The plane left at 6:00 a.m. We got to Kauai at 6:40 a.m. And had to wait until picked up by tour guide at 8:40 a.m.. There were others that left our hotel at 7:00 and arrived to have guide pick them up on time. We also were told (on the tour guide was told) the wrong place at the airport to pick us up. All of that was very stressful. If they could correct the scheduling then it is a worthwhile tour.
This was an exceptional experience. Easily one of the highlights of our two weeks in Hawaii!
The hike was a little challenging but it was worth it to see the amazing views of the canyon. Sitting atop the waterfall for lunch was icing on the cake! Our guide was great as well.
The bus went with broke down when we were at Waimea canyon that gave us more time to spend at the beautiful Waimea canyon at the expense of missing the lunch. In spite of this we enjoyed every bit of it. The guide/driver did a nice job of keeping us engaged all the time.
We had a group of 17 people, teens, seniors, and adults are three separate flights. Each of us had a great time. The Blu-Hawii Helicopter's service is excellent in accommodating the complicated weather conditions, and pilots are extraordinary in knowledge and experience. The flight is very smooth and the scenic view is extrodinary. Thank you blue -Hawaii helicopter.
The Fern Grotto was a guided tour, which I did not realize when we signed up. The boat ride up the river was nice. The guide pointed out various places along the river. Your time is very limited at the Grotto. The guides there rush you along to the site, explain the grotto, sing, and then you are rushed out. I wanted to explore the trail a bit and take photos so that was disappointing.
Our tour guide was Jonna. She was friendly,,knowledgeable of Hawaiian history and folklore. She drove safely while she shared about the sights we visited. Her sense of humor and kindness was evident as she inquired about how each of us was doing. My husband and I finished our tour having learned about Kaua'i and the sights. We loved our tour and will recommend to friends to make time for this tour!
Jack was a great tour guide and the day passed very quickly with jokes, historical information, and a beautiful cruise to the Fern Grotto. The singers were beautiful in sentiment and voice, showing us the beauty of the Hawaiian culture . I recommend this as it is a great way to be engulfed in culture and see most of the island , including great picture spots.
The Waimea Canyon was beautiful! However, I feel I could have done this activity on my own. We spent most of our day picking up people from hotels and I felt I could have used that time exploring more of the canyon.
Scott was our pilot...what a hoot! Tho it was raining most of the flight, he flew us to the sites with a history of the land and awesome scenery and colorful descriptions of people and places! Recommend to everyone!
Outstanding tour! Miguel was the perfect host, and the tour literally takes your breath away! Looking forward to another Blue Hawaiian tour on another beautiful island!
We flew to Honolulu and then spent 6 days on a cruise to Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. The highlight of our trip was the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour. The Eco-Star helicopter is one of the best helicopters available. It is relatively quiet, very comfortable, and the view from any seat is fantastic. Our pilot had flown helicopters for more than 20 years, was an excellent guide, and you could tell that he loved his work - if you can call it that. Kauai is so diverse, from the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", to the fantastic waterfalls including the "Jurassic Park" waterfall, the spectacular Napoli coast with its towering cathedral cliffs, and the beautiful beaches. It is the best way to experience all that the "Garden Island" has to offer in an hour. Then, you can decide what you want to visit from ground level. Blue Hawaiian also offers a video of your flight showing both the passengers and the phenomenal scenery, so that you can relive the experience over and over again.
Fantastic flight with pilot Scott--unbelievable canyon and coastline,superb colours of red and green,breathtaking scenery! Into the crater in the wettest place on earth, Also saw where puff the magic dragon lives! Worth every penny $
Absolutely amazing flight with pilot Scott! You would never imagine the Canyon and coastal cliffs to be so breathtaking!! And we even went into the crater!!--wettest place in the world--worth every penny!
We had a great time! Juan, our tour guide, was fabulous! What a wonderful time. Everyone on the bus was entertained as well as having a good time. We were exhausted by the end of the day and it was worth it!
Highly recommended. Everyone in your party will get to be a sightseer and have a driver to do the work!
Our guide - Rosario - was well informed and jovial. As there were only 7 of us on the trip Rosario was able to spend more time showing us interesting points on the island. The Canyon itself was beautiful although the River Cruise was a bit naff
Our guide , Jacque Cousteau, (Jack Custer) was great! He was so knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy sharing with us. My grandson and I learned a lot and had fun. My only complaint was having to drive from Waimea Plantation Cottages to the Sheraton to meet the tour, while Princeville guests WERE picked up. When I signed up for the tour online, it said we would be picked up. The day before, I got a call saying we would have to get ourselves to the Sheraton.
Highly recommend this tour!! Absolutely beautiful, staff was also amazing.. 10 stars
Highky recommend this tour, our pilot was the best, we loved the tour it was beautiful to see Kauai from the air, we were able to see the waterfalls, the scenery is breath taking. All I can tell you is book this trip ASAP. And I highly recommend purchasing the YouTube video of your trip you will love it and you can send it to all your friends and family. They will certainly be jealous. If this is on your bucket list, just do it...it's worth it.
