Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Worth the wait

Reviewed by: Lee

This was our third try to get this ride. Weather kept us from seeing this amazing island and coast. This time…oh my! The weather cooperated and we were given quite a tour. Our pilot, Duke, was terrific. Duke was so knowledgeable about the island. Plus, Jurassic Park soundtrack. Go ahead and splurge for the front seats…you will not be disappointed! We recommend this flight for everyone. Blue Hawaiian is terrific!

I was torn between choosing a helicopter or this option, but this was the right choice. I am very satisfied with this experience at this price. The scenery was wonderful. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was fine.

ヘリコプターとどちらにしようか迷いましたが、こちらで正解でした。この価格でこの体験は大満足です。すばらしい景色でした。酔うのではと心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。

Scenic Kauai Airplane Tour to Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Falls

Airplane tour was amazing! Pilot was great!

Reviewed by: Sydney Bale

Would do this again in a heartbeat! The views were like nothing I’ve ever seen before!
We took our family of 5 (we have 3 boys) my 8 and almost 4 year old loved it but my 2.5 yr old had a hard time. And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’m thinking ears not adjusting to the height or maybe even motion sickness. But he did not do good. He’s usually a very very easy going toddler. So keep that in mind if you have young children. I would love to do it again without my kids so I could enjoy the breathtaking views without stress

The scenery and service were both wonderful!! 景色もサービスも素晴らしかったです!!

Reviewed by: にあ

I participated with my mother.

Both the customers and the staff were very kind, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful experience.

Route:
The route included Poipu Beach, Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the North Shore, the forested areas in central Kauai, and a loop around the island of Kauai.

Meeting Place:
The meeting place is the terminal next to the passenger terminal at Lihue Airport, where cargo flights take off and land. There is a map link included in the notification email, so I don't think there will be any mistakes. Once everyone has gathered, there will be a safety briefing.

Expected Level of Turbulence:
The flight I boarded had relatively calm winds, so there was little turbulence like free-fall (I felt a drop of about 30 centimeters three or four times). Additionally, if you are prone to motion sickness, you can inform the staff at check-in, and they will change your seat to one in the back.

母親と2人で参加しました。

お客さんもスタッフさんもとても優しく、天気にも恵まれ、大変良い体験ができました。

航路:
ポイプビーチ、ワイメアキャニオン、ナ・パリコースト、ノースシォア、カウアイ島中心部の樹林帯とカウアイ島を一周する航路でした。

集合場所:
集合場所はリフエ空港旅客機ターミナルの隣のカーゴなどが離発着するターミナルになります。
事前の通知メールにマップのリンクもついていますので、間違えることはないかと思います。
全員揃ったことを確認して、安全に関する案内があります。

期待の揺れ具合:
搭乗した便は風が比較的穏やかな時間だったので、フリーフォールのような揺れ方は少なかったです。(大体30センチ程度落ちる感覚が3,4回ありました。)
また、酔いやすい人は受付で申告すると後ろの席にチェンジしてくれます。

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

We loved the plane ride, checking in was smooth, they took pictures of us with the plane which was nice, and the employee and pilot were very friendly and helpful. We booked last minute but we felt welcomed nonetheless. The plane ride had a smooth take off and landing. And of course, the view was so amazing along with the pilot telling us all about Kauai!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Participated in the cruise from early morning on October 8, 2023 (Na Pali Coast, off the coast of Niihau). 2023.10.8(日)早朝からのクルーズ(ナ・パリ・コースト、ニイハウ島沖) に参加して

Reviewed by: 大きな志

About ten years ago, I visited Kauai and, since seeing the view from the Kalalau Lookout, I had always wanted to see the Na Pali Coast from a boat someday. This time, I decided to go to Hawaii and Kauai, and I signed up for this tour in Japan.

I think it was a great experience. Being able to see the beauty of the Na Pali Coast with my own eyes was invaluable. If possible, I would have liked to see a bit further along the coast. I also enjoyed the beautiful long beaches of Barking Sands Beach and Polihale State Park on the way to the Na Pali Coast. The day before, I drove to a bit beyond Barking Sands Beach to an unpaved area, but I thought it wouldn't be easy to reach Polihale.

I'm not good at snorkeling, so I didn't snorkel off the coast of Niihau, but I wish I had at least swum a little with fins. There were 33 participants that day, and I was the only Japanese person. Everyone else was snorkeling. The scenery of Niihau also left an impression on me.

The captain explained things well. I didn't understand much of the explanations in English, though. It was a tour where I truly felt the scale and greatness of nature at the Na Pali Coast. It left a strong impression on me.

Before going, I was concerned about driving there, but I am grateful that I was able to go safely. I realized once again that it's important to plan and prepare thoroughly in advance. I thank the captain and the two crew members.

10年くらい前にカイアウ島へ行ったことがあり、カララウ展望台からの景色を見たときから、ナ・パリ・コーストをいつか船上から是非見てみたいと思っていました。今回、思い切ってハワイ島、カウアイ島へ行くことにし、日本でこのツアーに参加申し込みをしていました。
実際に行って、大変良かったと思います。ナ・パリ・コーストの美しさを実際に自分の目で見れたことは何にも代えがたいです。できれば、コーストのもう少し先まで見てみたいと思いました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストへ行くまでのバーキングサンズビーチ、ポリハレ州立公園のきれいな長いビーチも良かったと思います。前日にバーキングサンズビーチの少し先あたりの舗装されていないところまで車で行きましたが、ポリハレまで行くのは容易でないと思っていました。
シュノーケリングは不得手で、ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、フィンをつけて少し泳ぐだけでもすればよかったと思っています。当日は33名の参加で、日本人は私だけでした。他の人は皆、シュノーケリングをしていました。ニイハウ島の景色も印象に残りました。
キャプテンもよく説明されていました。英語での説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが。
ナ・パリ・コーストのスケールの大きさ、自然の偉大さを実感したツアーでした。とても印象に残ります。
行く前は現地での車の運転等、気にしていましたが、無事、行くことができて有難く思っています。事前の計画、準備をしっかりしておくことが大事だとあらためて思いました。キャプテン、2人のクルーに感謝します。

A scenic flight on a day blessed with good weather; it was comfortable and felt like just an instant during the one hour. 天候に恵まれた日の遊覧飛行・揺れもせず快適であっという間の1時間

Reviewed by: ひとみ

The meeting place was a bit hard to find... There are companies with similar names, it's set back, the sign is small, and it shares a building with several travel agencies. Other than that, the explanations were clear, and both the pilot and the receptionist were efficient and kind. It was quieter than the helicopter and Beachcraft. I used it on the third day after my arrival. I had driven around the Waimea Canyon area on the second day, so I had a rough idea of the island's geography, but from the air, the vastness of the canyon, the flowing water, the dry red soil, the green forests, and the savanna-like low shrubs and short plant colonies were all clearly defined and dynamic under the sun.

I have a desire to challenge myself with several trekking courses, but by the time I finally had some free time, I wasn't confident in my legs and back, so I was glad I chose the scenic flight for safety. The top of Mount Waialeale (the highest point on Kauai) was covered in clouds, so I couldn't see it, but it was a day with few clouds, allowing me to overlook almost the entire island. I was very satisfied.

集合場所がちょっとわかりづらい・・・かな。 似たような名前の会社もあり、奥まっている、看板が小さい、いくつかの旅行会社とシェアしている建物だったので。
それ以外は、説明もわかりやすく、パイロットさんも受付さんもテキパキ親切。ヘリコプターやビーチクラフトよりも静かです。利用したのは到着から3日目。2日目にワイメアキャニオン周辺をドライブしたので、おおよその島の地理は頭に入っていたけれど、空中からですと、キャニオン部分の広さや、水の流れている場所、乾いた赤土と緑の森、サバンナのような低木と背の低い植物のコロニー、太陽の下、しっかり色分けされていてダイナミックでした。
いくつものトレッキングコースに挑戦したい気持ちはありますが、ようやく暇になった頃には足腰に自信が無く、安全第一で遊覧飛行を選んで良かったです。
ワイアレアレ山(カウアイ島で一番標高が高い)の頂部分だけは、雲に覆われていて眺めることができませんでしたが、ほぼ全島が見渡せるほどに雲が少ない日でした。大満足です。

ヘリコプター遊覧飛行 ワイメア渓谷&ナ・パリ・コースト&ハナレイ湾 <英語ガイド/リフエ空港>

Kauai from the sky 空からのカウアイ

Reviewed by: モアナ

Five years ago, I saw the Na Pali Coast on a cruise, but at my husband's strong request, we participated in a helicopter tour. I was able to understand the safety video before boarding thanks to the Japanese subtitles. I had two concerns: motion sickness and the fast-paced English explanations, but there were no problems at all. I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but the ride was very smooth with no turbulence, and above all, the scenery was so stunning that there was no time to feel nauseous.

What made it even better was that the pilot spoke fluent Japanese. We were the only Japanese people on board; the others were from the mainland, but with the interpretation provided, everyone felt friendly and welcoming. It was a fantastic tour that was worth every penny.

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end.

It was our first time in such a tiny plane. The flight was full of incredible views over almost whole Kauai with interesting information from the pilot including the music from movies filmed on this island. He used more different angles during the flight over the main spots - for example Napali Coast so we could really enjoy the splendor of nature. Can highly recommend this company for a flight.
