About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Kauai Eco Adventure
Fly from Lihue on a 50-minute Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai Eco Adventure over Hanapepe Valley, Jurassic Park Falls, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast and Mt. Wai'ale'ale.
From the moment the rotor blades begin to turn, you'll feel why this flight tops so many Kauai wish lists. The helicopter lifts smoothly from Lihue and banks toward the island's southwest, revealing patchwork fields, winding rivers and the sparkle of the Pacific in one sweeping panorama. As the coastal lowlands give way to emerald valleys, your pilot points out plantation-era towns and taro patches that have fed generations of island families.
A quick rise over Hanapepe Valley opens to an airborne parade of Kauai's greatest hits: waterfalls plummeting from hidden amphitheaters, red-and-green cliffs stacked like ancient cathedrals, and surf exploding against sheer walls of volcanic rock. By the time you glide past rain-polished ridge lines of the Na Pali Coast and hover beside Mt. Waialeale's curtain of mist and cascading water, you'll understand why the Garden Isle is considered one of Earth's natural masterpieces-and why the best seat in the house is thousands of feet above it.

Restrictions
Tour routes and sights visited may vary according to wind and weather conditions.
Weight Guidelines:
For each passenger weighing 240+ pounds (109 kg), an adjacent empty seat is required to safely balance the aircraft and requires an additional surcharge equal to 1/2 ticket price.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires that each each passenger is weighed prior to departure. This weigh-in process is very discrete when you check in. Any significant variance in the weights provided and actual scale weight could result in flight delays or possible cancellation.
Front Row Seating Add-on Restrictions:

In the event of an emergency front row passengers must be able to receive instructions in English and be physically capable of operating exit doors.

Equipment
Blue Hawaiian's fleet is Hawaii's largest fleet of touring helicopters. Their EC-130 Eco-Star helicopters have comfortable, individual seats for every passenger that afford the kind of shoulder room and personal space found in airline "First Class" seating. The Eco-Star is also significantly quieter than standard touring helicopters and offers more interior space, with 65 square feet of glass for panoramic views. A 4-camera video system captures touring memories to bring home for a lifetime keepsake.
