Big Island Spectacular

My wife and I took the big island tour that lasted about two hours as part of our 40th anniversary celebration. What can I say but it was ethereal. Clear skies, beautiful views of volcanoes, lava flows, sea cliffs, valleys, waterfalls that can’t be seen any other way, relaxing music that fit perfectly with the views…simply breathtaking! I considered this a bucket list trip but will do it again. Pilot Matt was friendly, helpful, informative answering questions and very skilled and professional. One tip - take the morning tour for a better chance of clear skies. Also - pay the extra for the front two seats for a bit better view. We did both these things and are glad we did. Also, buy the video package for years of memories.

The experience is simply spectacular. From the service and safety briefing they give you to the music they play while you're on the flight, it's an unparalleled experience. We recommend it 100%. They are extremely punctual, the pilot is very friendly, and they give instructions and explanations about the places we're flying over. We would definitely do it again.

Big Island Spectacular

We flew Blue Hawaiian on September 10, 2025 as a family of three to experience their Big Island Spectacular with landing. Sean was our pilot and he made our ride safe, memorable, and comfortable with his excellent flying skills, great soundtrack, and timely commentary! My wife and I sat up front and our daughter sat behind us and all three of us had great views as Sean made sure to position the craft to ensure perfect views for all passengers regardless of seat location! Sean went over options for our flight based on cloud cover and was very flexible in his flight path. We had great views of Hualalai, the northern valleys, and the coastline! Our landing at a gorgeous waterfall in the Kamuela region was magical and dream-like. We had enough time to dip in the water, explore the rain forest, and even forage for some fruits! The strawberry guavas were delicious. Sean's attention to us was impeccable and his commentary was well-informed and balanced. Thank you Sean for making this an unforgettable family memory! If you are lucky to get Sean as your pilot you are sure to have a ride to remember! Sean assured us that all of the pilots are as good as him! We will certainly book again with Blue H! Mahalo nui loa! Aloha oe!
