CruzinBlues Posted April 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi, DW and I are doing our first Helicopter tour on our visit to Kauai in 2 weeks. My question is what is an appropriate tip for the Pilot? Thanks in advance. My thought is a nice tip if we land safely and no tip if we don't. Seriously though, any help would be appreciated.

PennyAgain Posted April 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have never tipped a pilot and don't intend to do so. They are professionals and are very well paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I agree. Not all excursion personnel require tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinBlues Posted April 8, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Was not sure. I guess it would be like tipping the pilot of your airline carrier. Just didn't know. Thanks again. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmfan Posted April 9, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If it was a nice trip, of course I would tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale-watcher Posted April 9, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Blue Hawaiian has a large lucite box where you can deposit "pilot appreciation envelopes", at least on the Big Island...if you see one of these, then I would guess they are expecting a gratuity.
