The visuals were stunning, and the soft background music was nice. There is a prior notice, but if you look at the camera too much during the flight, it can make you feel nauseous; however, I think it's fine as long as you just look outside.
見応え素晴らしく僅かな音量のバックミュージックが良かったです。
事前案内ありますが飛行中カメラ見過ぎと酔いますが、外を観てるだけなら問題ないかと思います。

Our initial tour was canceled due to weather. The staff was very accommodating for us to be able to reschedule. Our entire family from 11 yrs old to adults really enjoyed this trip. The pilot was knowledgeable and shared lots of history and fun facts about the island. It was defiantly a trip we were all happy we took.

I had been seeing and hearing about this wonderful scenery on TV, but I was moved to be able to see it with my own eyes. Thanks to Pilot Mr. Darren's English and his witty explanations in Japanese, I forgot my pre-flight anxiety, relaxed, and the time flew by. I will share a few experiences I had while participating in this tour for your reference.
1. It takes about 10 minutes (1 km) to walk from Lihue Airport to the Blue Hawaiian office. (I used the Kauai bus from my hotel for reference.)
2. When you open the entrance door, the reception is right in front. You will state your name at the reception counter. Next, you will weigh yourself, and the scale is located right under the mat where you are standing. (They seemed to explain something, but I couldn't catch it well.)
3. They will inform you of the start time for the tour explanation.
4. The explanation about the tour (safety) is done with a projector, and they provide subtitles for foreigners. At the end of the initial orientation, they will ask if anyone needs it, so I said "Japanese." (I missed hearing it.)
5. After the projector explanation, you will be informed of your seat position in the helicopter you will be riding.
6. After the tour, you can purchase a USB memory with the day's flight images (with audio) at the reception counter. It was $40.
テレビで見聞きしていましたが、この素晴らしい景観をこの目で見ることができて感動の時間を過ごせました。Pilot(Mr.ダレン)さんの英語と軽妙な日本語での説明で、飛行前の不安を忘れ、リラックスでき、あっという間の時間でした。このツアーに参加するにあたって経験したことを少し、記載しますので参考にしてください。
1. リフエ空港からBlue Hawaiiann事務所まで徒歩で約10分(1㎞)くらい。
(ホテルからカウアイバスを利用したので参考まで)
2.入口ドアを開けると、正面に受付。受付カウンターで名前を告げます。次に、当日の体重を測ることになるのですが、ちょうど自分が立っている足マットの下が、体重計になっています。(何やら説明されていたようですが、よく聞き取れませんでした。)
3. ツアーについての説明開始時間を教えてくれます。
4. ツアーについての説明(安全)は、プロジェクターで行われますが、外国人向けに字幕を付けてくれます。最初のオリエンテーションの最後に必要な人は、と問われるので、”Japanese”。(私は、聞き逃しました。)
5.プロジェクターでの説明後に、自分の乗るヘリコプターの座席位置が知らされます。
6.ツアー終了後、受付カウンターで当日のフライト画像(音声付き)のUSBメモリーを購入できます。40でした。

Blue Hawaii helicopter tour was Awesome! Brodie, our pilot was friendly and very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to catch a break in the weather and see some sights which had no been accessible for 48hrs. I felt so lucky! A great flight is always subject to the weather. Would definitely fly with them again!!

The entire experience was awesome. Nice building at the helipad with merchandise and restrooms if you need them. The pre-flight instructions and guidance upon loading/unloading was great with a photo op post-flight in front of the helicopter. The pilot made us feel safe the entire time. I get motion sickness on boats and was a little worried but no issues at all (I took a ginger pill but not sure it was needed as it felt very steady). Take photos/videos on the ride but be sure to just appreciate it with your own eyes too because it’s really amazing! Don’t hesitate to go, it’s worth the extra money vs. other excursions. FYI - this was a review from a rainy/cloudy day...I can’t imagine what it must look like with a nice sunny/clear sky!

We went on the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour while we were in Kauai for our honeymoon. It was a 60 minute tour and we loved every minute of it! Our tour guide knew so much information about the island and even gave us fun facts about the island (movie spots). We would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Incredible. I've been to 40 countries and 6 continents and had countless adventure - I think this may be the most amazing thing I've ever done. If you're on the fence, go for it! Sell blood if you have to, you will not be sorry. Unless you don't do it, then you will realize in the twilight of your years something is missing from your life. Something you can't quite put your finger on - but I'm warning you now - it would be this trip. Give yourself a hand and go. Spectacular views - and I was in the middle seat. Window would have been nice, but it's great from the middle too.

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。

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.

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。

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!
