About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Kauai Eco Adventure
Lift off from Lihue and watch Kauai open up beneath you, from the island’s southwest lowlands to deep valleys, waterfalls and the rugged cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. The scenery changes quickly, giving you a broad look at the Garden Isle in one sweeping flight.
The route takes you over Hanapepe Valley and Manawaiopuna Falls before continuing toward Olokele Canyon and Waimea Canyon. From there, you’ll follow the Na Pali Coast past dramatic cliffs and remote shoreline, then continue toward Hanalei Bay, Princeville and Kauai’s north shore beaches.
When weather allows, the flight also reaches Mount Waialeale, where mist, steep green walls and waterfalls create some of the island’s most striking aerial scenery.

View Driving Directions
Check in will be 1 hour prior to departure. Prompt arrival allows for guest weight check-in, safety briefing, and to be escorted and seated on the aircraft for on-time departure. Late arrivals will be considered as a no-show. Traffic is unpredictable in the Islands. Please allow for ample travel time in case of traffic delays.
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:
Combined Front Row seat weight must be under 470 lbs and individual passenger weights must be under 240 lbs. Should the actual weights at check-in exceed any of these limits guests will be accommodated in other seats and allowed a refund for the upgrade fee.
Front Row passengers must occupy their own seats and must be able to refrain from interfering with the pilot and instrumentation. NO LAP CHILDREN IN FRONT ROW. 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. Chair lifts can only access the rear row seats, therefore guests requiring a chair lift cannot be accommodated in the front row.
You MUST have with you:
Passengers need to bring a government issued photo ID. International passengers will need their passport.
Special Notes

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.
