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。

The entire crew was amazing! They were thoughtful, attentive, and caring the entire trip. Several people aboard were sick to their stomach due to rough, choppy water, but the crew was so sweet to those having problems. They were quick to serve, offer, and pick up food items, drinks, etc. I'd definitely take a tour with this company again. They get 5 stars for customer satisfaction and service.

We went in November on our honeymoon and had a great time. Service was perfect. We never had to get up from our seat. We weren't able to go to Niihau because of the high surf. We were given some options before going out. We decided to still go out and at the end they suprised us and refunded us some of our money. Wendal and his crew make you feel very welcomed.

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.

On the way to Napali, wild dolphins swam alongside our boat, and on the uninhabited island, there were seals napping. We enjoyed not only the breathtaking scenery but also a variety of experiences.
On the return from Niihau Island, it felt like a roller coaster the whole time. The boat was rocking quite a bit, and many people started to feel sick, but the crew's response was incredibly quick and precise, which was impressive! They communicated with us in various ways, and I thought that if I could speak more English, it would have been even more fun!
ナパリに着く間に野生のイルカが船と一緒泳いでくれたり、無人島にはアザラシ?がお昼寝してたり、とにかく絶景だけでなく色々楽しめました。
ニイハウ島からの帰りはずっとジェットコースター状態。かなり船が揺れて具合が悪くなる人続出でしたが、クルーの方の対応がとにかく素早く的確で感動しました!色々コミュニケーションもとってくれて、英語がもっと話せたら、きっともっともっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました!

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.

The view of Kauai Island from the sky was magnificent, offering a scenery that can't be experienced in Japan. It rained a little, but it stopped quickly, and right after that, I was able to see a double rainbow, which made me feel so happy.

It was fun to see the Napali Coast for less than a helicopter tour! The staff from the tour company were very friendly. However, if your goal is to get close to the waterfalls like you would in a helicopter, I wouldn't recommend this. It gives you more of an overview from above.
ヘリより安く、ナパリコーストを見渡す事ができ、楽しかったです!
ツアーの会社の人たちもとても親切でした。
ヘリのように滝まで近づく事はなかったので、それを目的ならオススメしません。

The scenery of the Napa coastline was wonderful. However, I couldn't understand any of the English explanations, and considering the high tour price, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. I also thought the snorkeling wasn't worth it because there were very few fish.
