100% the best in business! Highly recommended

We had a great experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters! The booking process was easy and they helped answer all of our questions with ease. The check in experience was easy and they had lockers to store any last minute items for free. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. They helped us get our gear on and get all buckled into the Helicopter. The pilot also came and introduced himself to us before we got on. They took a photo of our group outside of the plane on our cell phones. On the helicopter we all got microphones to talk to the all who were onboard which was fun. The Pilot talked through some of the history of the areas we flew past and gave lots of fun facts too. Overall the whole flight was incredibly smooth and cool. A few notes: - They told us to wear all black (which we did), but I wore shorts and have tattoos down my leg and I could see the reflection of my leg/tattoos in some of the photos I wanted to take. I would recommend black pants if you're fair skinned or have tattoos. - My Dad went with us too and he is a bit on the taller side. Due to his weight (which is average) he was put in the middle back seat, but he said his headset was rubbing against the top of the helicopter and he had to sit slouched the whole time which was a bit uncomfortable. May want to keep that in mind if you're tall when checking in to let them know. While very expensive this was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to those who could afford it or save a little extra for your trip! Some of the views are things you would never see from the ground.

Blue Helicopters provided an incredible experience and view of the beautiful island of Maui for our family! It was relaxing, informative and a completely different experience than the road to Hana drive. It was certainly additive to the experience and our pilot Chris was professional as well as fun!! We are so satisfied with our experience- thank you Blue Helicopter!!

Felt safe in every moment and the staff was super nice. Our pilot was amazing and made sure to make us feel comfortable during the whole tour.

Incredible way to start your Maui trip! Pilot Matt is the best!

Pilot Pete was amazing! Christopher was also very kind & personable while we waited for our flight! Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!!!

🚁🌈 My husband completely surprised our family with a Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour. I had secretly been looking at all those spectacular aerial photographs and videos of Maui thinking, I would LOVE to do that. But I didn’t dare ask. Let’s face it—a helicopter tour isn’t exactly the inexpensive line item on a family vacation budget. 😂 So when I discovered where we were going, I was thrilled. What followed turned into not only one of our favorite Maui adventures, but also an example of excellent customer service when travel plans don’t go perfectly. Safety Came First Apparently, unbeknownst to me, my husband had already dealt with a few changes to our reservation. Our original morning flight was moved to the afternoon because of a safety check. Then Blue Hawaiian suggested changing our flight to another day when conditions were expected to provide better views. Was that inconvenient? Sure. You’re on vacation. You’ve planned your days. Nobody gets excited about rearranging reservations. But here’s something I appreciated: I want my helicopter company to be overly cautious. If there is a safety concern, check the helicopter. If conditions aren’t going to provide the experience we’re paying for, tell us. I’ll rearrange my vacation. Blue Hawaiian also did something they absolutely didn’t have to do. To help compensate for the changes, they upgraded our family to a longer and more exclusive flight and included the video package so we’d have a recording of our experience. That’s how you turn a potentially frustrating situation into excellent customer service. And Then We Met Chris Our pilot, Chris, was wonderful. One thing I especially appreciated as a parent was that he didn’t talk around our children while entertaining the adults. He talked directly to them. He joked with them. He kept them involved. At the same time, he shared fascinating information about Maui’s geology, history and Hawaiian culture with all of us. It felt educational without ever feeling like a lecture. And then there were the rainbows. 🌈 Six Rainbows?! At some point we started counting. I believe we saw six rainbows during our flight. And these weren’t the little partial rainbows you occasionally see from the ground. From the helicopter we could see incredible full-spectrum, full-arch rainbows. Naturally, this resulted in discussions with the kids about leprechauns and pots of gold, which Chris happily played along with. 😂 Those are the silly little family moments you end up remembering years later. Maui Looks Completely Different From the Air This was what surprised me most. You can drive Maui. You can hike Maui. You can swim and snorkel Maui. But you don’t fully appreciate the scale and geography of this island until you see it from above. Suddenly you’re looking into valleys you can’t reach by road, seeing waterfalls tucked into enormous green mountainsides, following ridgelines toward the ocean and understanding how volcanic activity shaped the island beneath you. Places we’d spent hours driving around suddenly made sense geographically. And photographs simply don’t capture the scale of it. Yes, It’s Expensive Let’s address the elephant in the helicopter. This is a splurge. For a family, particularly, the price can make you hesitate. Having now done it, though, I would make different spending choices elsewhere on the vacation to afford this experience. Skip a few expensive cocktails. Pack lunch one day instead of eating at another restaurant. Choose a couple fewer smaller paid attractions. Because personally, I’d rather put that money toward one extraordinary experience that my family will still be talking about years from now. And this was one of those experiences. 🌺 Our Family Take Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Scenery: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Pilot/guide: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Kid engagement: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 4/5 — expensive, but worth the splurge Memory factor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Would we do it again? Absolutely. If your Maui budget allows for one big-ticket experience, I would seriously consider making it a helicopter tour. And if your flight gets moved because of safety or weather conditions, don’t automatically view that as a negative. You’re about to climb into a helicopter and fly over mountains, valleys and the Pacific Ocean. You WANT the company willing to say, “Not today. Let’s give you a safer or better experience tomorrow.” For our family, Blue Hawaiian took what could have been a disappointing series of changes and turned it into one of the absolute highlights of our Maui vacation. And somewhere over Maui, apparently there are at least six pots of gold we still need to go back and find. 🌈😂🚁 🚁 And We Actually Landed! One of the unexpected highlights was landing in the middle of this incredible green Maui landscape. There is something slightly surreal about stepping out of a helicopter, looking around at rolling green mountains, clouds hanging over the ridges and realizing, How in the world did we get here? It also gave us a chance to get out, stretch our legs, take family pictures with the helicopter and simply absorb where we were. That little break made the experience feel much more like an adventure than simply an aerial sightseeing tour. Then we climbed back aboard and headed into some of the most dramatic scenery of the flight—towering green mountains, waterfalls seemingly dropping straight out of the clouds, and rainbows appearing over the ocean. Those are views you simply cannot get from a rental car.

We had an amazing flight! Every seat had great views, and our pilot, Matt, provided very interesting narrative (and jokes) that made the trip memorable. My daughter sometimes gets motion sickness, but did not have any problems - smooth flying all the way, gentle lift off and landing. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

We booked our ride the same day for west Maui Molokai with the pilot Marco. Due to weather we had to reroute our flight/route. It was still excellent. The helicopter was clean, the ride was smooth, and amazing. We got to see all amazing and scenic views. The pilot was very educational and very friendly. We would definitely come back!

Our pilot was great and knew his history. He answered any questions we had and made sure to continuously turn to make sure both sides experienced the same views.

Pete was great. Flight was smooth and steady. I kept my tall water bottle on the floor and it stayed in the same position all flight. Besides that definitely worth it.

We had the most amazing experience with blue Hawaiin helicopters. Marco, our pilot, was amazing and the other staff were super friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a helicopter experience to book here.

Awesome Awesome flight and pilot. Highly recommended

Best company to fly above Hawaii!!!!! The transparency of the helicopter i awesome!
