Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Kauai ECO Adventure
Fly first class on the new American Eurocopter ECO-Star over the island of Kauai! The American Eurocopter ECO-Star is a state-of-the-art sensation that provides 23% more interior room, two-way communication with your pilot, individual Business Class style seats, and spacious glass for exceptional sights of Kauai’s tropical beauty. You can really enjoy Blue Hawaii Helicopters Tour because the new ECO-Star was made to reduce approximately 50% of over flight noise! The Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Kauai ECO Adventure starts with a flight to Hanapepe Valley, continues to Mana Waipuna, (commonly known as “Jurassic Park Falls), then to the Olokele Canyon on the gorgeous Waimea Canyon, (known also as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific). The next flight location is the jagged and majestic Na Pali Coast, Bali Hai Cliffs, the Princeville Resort, and the pristine aqua waters of Hanalei Bay. With weather cooperating, we will then move on to the spectacular Mt. Waialeale (the wettest spot on earth) with a rainfall of 450 to 500 inches per year. You will experience the “thrill” of the flight when the pilot flies into the center of the crater with its 5,000 ft. walls towering high above with the surrounding 3,000 ft. waterfalls. You will be amazed and inspired when you complete an ECO Adventure over the island of Kauai!
