Dont miss Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours- incredible
Our pilot Alex was so amazing. Calm, experienced, intersting and kind. Everything happened smoothly, always with safety and comfort at the forefront. I have done many high quality excursions- this was defintetly the very best.

Do it! You won’t regret it!
We did this tour on New Year’s Eve on our last full day in Kauai and it was an awesome way to close out 2025! We literally booked the day before and got lucky to get 2 seats. Or pilot, Barrett, was experienced and funny! We felt safe the whole time! The views of the waterfalls, the canyon and the Napali coast were amazing! We chose Blue Hawaiian because we flew with them once before in Kona, HI and had a great experience! About the only complaint I have is we paid an extra 400.00 to sit up front. They asked us when we checked-in if we wanted to upgrade. We sat in front on our other flight from Kona, but we did not have to pay extra. There were 5 passengers on this Kauai flight and while we had awesome seats, it would have been interesting to see where we would have been sitting if we had not upgraded, as all 5 of us could not have sat up front. And,the other 3 people did not want to upgrade.

Helicopter tour of Kauai
It was amazing seeing Kauai from above, despite some rain at the beginning. It provides a real understanding of the size of the island and able to see some area, otherwise not seen.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kauai.
How much does Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville cost?
+
Prices start at $579 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kauai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kauai is not rushed.
Is Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kauai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kauai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kauai and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Kauai Helicopter Tour from Princeville start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kauai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kauai?
+
Kauai sells Na Pali Coast boat and helicopter tours, Waimea Canyon drives, tubing through old plantation ditches and Hanalei kayak trips. Ocean conditions shut down the north shore boat runs in winter, so cancellation terms matter. On Outty we rank every Kauai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Koloa Zipline in Kauai, Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K, Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kauai?
+
April to June and September to October, with calmest seas in summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kauai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
