Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Aerial introduction to the Princeville Hotel and Golf course
THE BLUE HAWAIIAN DIFFERENCE There's simply no argument: Blue Hawaiian is Hawaii's #1 helicopter tour company. Blue Hawaiian's aircraft maintenance technicians have received the FAA's coveted Certificate of Excellence, Diamond Award every year since 1998. No other helicopter tour company in Hawaii has ever received this critical recognition. Blue Hawaiian was honored by the FAA for its record 12th straight year in January, 2009, at a ceremony in Honolulu, and the FAA further honored Blue Hawaiian with the very first Certificate of Excellence, Platinum Award. And Blue Hawaiian is the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii certified by the Department of Defense.
Welcome to the Blue Skies of Hawaii. Blue is the only helicopter tour company serving all four major Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. That means wherever you go in the Islands of Aloha, you know exactly how to get the world's finest aerial tours: just remember the color of the sky.
We don't just operate the best equipment, we help develop it. From the ultra-quiet, spacious, and powerful 21st-century Eco-Star helicopter to the breakthrough Garmin G500H technology, which gives our pilots astonishing three-dimensional synthetic vision terrain awareness in less than optimal weather; from our pioneering of multi-camera in-flight video, to designing vastly improved cockpit air-conditioning—Blue Hawaiian is always at the forefront of leading-edge innovations for your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Because when it comes to our guests, good enough is never enough.
The finest pilots in the sky. Blue Hawaiian prides itself on hand-picking only the finest and most experienced pilots—the absolute cream of the profession—and every one of them is a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide.

A lot of the footage you see here is from the camera mounted on the bottom of their helicopter, you can buy a video from them for $40 or so after the tour. You can get a lot more static pictures from the helicopter tour from here:
For all the waterfalls, here is a good map of the Kauai waterfalls:

Helicopter Ride over Kauai, HI - Part 2
Aloha! This is part of a $245.00 worth helicopter tour of Kauai that I got from Sunshine Helicopters on September 16, 2011. (The DVD copy of my actual flight was $50.00.) During the actual fight, the pilot Captain Steve Schaefer, did a narration of the places we were flying over. His narration was accompanied by background music. Please enjoy this short video (Part 2) that I created from the film footage. Mahalo!
