National Geographic - The Ten Best of Everything

Excerpt from the National Geographic book 'The Ten Best of Everything':  “Flying with Blue Hawaiian is the most exciting way to see Hawaii. Dave and Patti Chevalier came to Maui from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Dave, a former scout pilot, found work flying tours for South Sea Helicopters: Patti taught high-school social studies. When South Sea was put up for sale, Dave and Patti risked everything to buy it.

At Blue Hawaiian, “Nothing but the very best” is not some casual slogan. Ever since they opened their doors in 1985, it’s been a pledge, their promise, and their way of life. They have been awarded the FAA’s coveted Diamond Certificate of Excellence every year since 1998. Being the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii operating a factory-authorized American Eurocopter service center, Blue Hawaiian never stops innovating, never stops improving, never stops asking, “How can we do even better?” Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is the premier helicopter tour company in Hawaii , with a great safety record, flown by the best and most experienced helicopter pilots. The tour is a unique blend of cultural excursions to some of Hawaii ’s most remote and breathtakingly beautiful places.

You will explore deep valleys set in the rain forest of the ancient West Maui Mountains. Knife-edged ridges with mist shrouded peaks separate the spectacular valleys. Waterfalls fall from towering cliffs into streams below. Then fly over Haleakala Crater and Hana’s rain forest to the rugged shoreline of northeast Maui."
