I have done many Helicopter flights over the years. Mostly on Kauai. They are a way to maximize your enjoyment of the beauty Kaua’i has to offer. My only restriction is I do not like flying in the winter months when micro climate shifts can make the journeys more stressful. My favorite trip was finally getting to go to Niihau after 7 years of trying. Really felt like an explorer…
I’ve been eyeing up this tour for awhile and after reading your review, I finally booked it! Can’t wait and thanks!
Hi Sara.
Thanks. Enjoy and please let us know how it goes!
Aloha.
We had an awesome tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters a few years ago. We did not land at Jurassic Falls but we did go right into Waialeale canyon after the island tour. Incredible! Our only annoyance … one woman from a cruise ship wore a white top and the reflection really destroyed some photos. They had been advised to wear dark clothing!
We were able to purchase a video of OUR tour which we enjoy often!
I first flew on a helicopter in Kauai with Will Squyres back in 1983. My second helicopter was on Blue Hawaiian a few years ago, but then I learned about Island Helicopters and their agreement with the Robinson’s, and now we hope to take their Jurassic Falls Landing Adventure next February. We’ve driven the insanely difficult road up from the rainbow forest as far as the road would go toward Manawaiopuna Falls, and there is a path from there to the falls. Illegal probably, but locals were doing it. Rob and Jeff, I promised you a drink at Keoki’s a couple years ago, but haven’t made it back since COVID. Plan on it next February.
Hi Rob.
You’re on. Thanks. See you then.
Aloha.
My son a I did this same tour! It was great. Pricey, but worth it. We went in the morning and he told us how lucky we were to see the rim of the volcano because it’s usually buried in the clouds. Was a gorgeous sunny day. Gorgeous views. The falls were very cool (along with the Jurassic falls theme song 😂). Great experience!
We toured with Blue Hawaiian and it was worth every penny. We bought the video but wished the video quality would have been better. We were very fortunate to have perfectly clear weather at top of Mt Waialeale.
Aloha!
Looks amazing. But I’d like you to share the price.
When we did it November of 2020 it was about $350 pp. Totally worth it. There are others that are cheaper, but this one takes you to the falls. I beehive it’s the only company with permission to land there
Aloha Guys-After years of trying to talk my wife into this tour we finally went in October 2019. It was amazing. Glad we got it in because January 2020 Kobe Bryant died in a crash and then there was another fatal crash on Kauai. There is no way she would have gome after that.
Hi Jon.
We definitely understand your wife’s concerns.
Aloha.
Aloha Rob and Jeff. I went on the air-ride back in the late 80’s. Left from Port Allen. Went Waimea over to Na Pali and then Mt Waialeale. I remember it lightly raining as we were going into “waterfall canyon”. Stuck my hand out the window and it was like needles hitting your skin. A truly memorable ride and still have the video of it. Never saw these falls. They are amazing to look at. Mahalo+ Happy Landing!!
Hi Debra.
Thanks for adding your helicopter report!
Aloha.
For what it’s worth, in my experience, flying in small aircraft is calmer in the morning, less thermals to bounce you around than later in the day if that’s a concern to anyone.
If you want to go big, head over to Ni’ihau Helicopter and take a tour of the Forbidden Isle. You leave early in the morning, get a round island tour, land at one of the beaches, spend 3-4 hours there, are provided a local lunch then fly back.
We did it in February 2021. We were lucky enough to see whales from the helicopter along with dolphins. The pilot was cool enough that when we saw animals both on and off shore, he’d circle back so you could get a good look. The secluded beach was something to behold also. It is you, the beach, the pilot and the wildlife. There is no one else for miles. Some of the residents stopped by but our of concern for COVID we did not interact with them.
$425/person to see Hawai’i before tourism is worth it!
Has anyone used Turo for car rental in Maui and what was your experience ?
