Koji gave us a fantastic tour today. He was a very seasoned flyer and made sure everyone was comfortable. If you have an hour to spare this adventure is well worth it. The waiting areas are also super clean and the office staff was very pleasant and professional. Thank you for a great flight!

My family and I did a helicopter tour here and it was an amazing experience. Our pilot Koji, was a great tour guide and the ride was very smooth. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The only reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5 is that your experience is totally dependent on your pilot and your seat in the helicopter. Most of the views are on the right side, so if you are seated on the left you get mostly water views. If your pilot is aware of this and does plenty of turns, you may be fine. However, ours only did a few, which limited what we actually could take pictures of.

Great pilots and friendly staff. Highly recommend. They even go out of their way to make sure all sides of the helicopter get a good view or pictures.

Must do item when you come to Hawaii. Well worth the money. Great Staff and Awesome Pilot

I’m sitting here watching the videos from my first helicopter ride ever with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on Oahu about a month and a half ago, trying to relive how much of an amazing experience this was!! What made it even better was my pilot Loren. If you like a “chill dude” telling you about all the amazing sights you’ll see, and like to laugh, he’s your pilot too! It was amazing from the second we lifted even an inch off the ground! If I ever go back to another beautiful island, this will always be a must!

Absolutely incredible experience. Was a little pricey, but definitely worth it. If you have an extra $100, would splurge for one of the two front row seats next fo the pilot. The back row has four seats but is not cramped at all. I was in one of the middle back row seats and still had a great view, so if you don’t get a front row seat - it’s still amazing! Our pilot, Barrett was very knowledgeable about the island (he was born & raised on Kauai) & made sure to rotate the helicopter near big views (aka the Jurassic park waterfall) so that all seats could see perfectly. I had never ridden in a helicopter before & will admit I was a bit nervous but the entire staff was very professional & Barrett was a perfect pilot. I felt entirely safe the whole time. Couldn’t speak more highly of Blue Hawaiian Tours - absolutely recommend!

My husband and I took a helicopter tour on our visit to Kauai a few days ago- while nervous with what happened the day before (our prayers go out to the families) we had a blast and we're so glad we did not cancel! While our tour was delayed due to inclement weather, we were scheduled a few hours later and had the wonderful opportunity to see the Waimea Canyon, Na Poli Coast, scenes from Jurassic Park and views of Kauai we wouldn't ever be able to see unless on a heli. Kudos to our amazing pilot; Jason for the awesome tour and the rest of the staff at Blue Hawaiian!

Our pilot Greg was awesome in his informative and exilerating flight!!!

We booked a flight with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters during our visit to Maui in May 2013. It was our first helicopter ride and it was amazing! We opted for the West Maui Mountains/Molakai tour and had a wonderful time. The total flight was about 45 minutes round trip. Our pilot, Mike, provided some great narration during the flight as we soared above Maui and Molokai and swooped down into vast valleys with cascading waterfalls…it was like something out of a movie! It is an experience we won’t soon forget and Blue Hawaiian is a top-notch company that delivers great service for its customers. If planning a trip to Maui, be sure to add this excursion to your itinerary…you won’t regret it!

My wife and I went on the 45 minute tour of West Maui and Molokai Eco Star during our honeymoon in Maui. This helicopter tour may have been the highlight of our incredible trip! The whole experience was extremely well organized, from the moment we entered their facility till when we left. Tim, our pilot, was incredibly informative and professional. The views were absolutely fantastic. You get a whole different perspective from 1000 feet up! My favorite site was probably seeing a large manta swimming among the reefs in the crystal clear water. The tour was incredible and I give it my highest recommendation.

You'll arrive about 45 minutes ahead of your scheduled flight for a weigh-in and safety briefing. Also plan for $7 parking - though near the airport, parking is super easy and very close to the heliport, so no need to plan extra time. As you check in, you're offered good coffee, so take advantage. Our group of four decided to do the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Molokai which includes a tour of the West Maui Mountain. Glenda, our pilot, was perfect. She was obviously experienced and confident and was a quite knowledgable guide as well. The music in your headset is synced to the tour which makes for a pretty fun time. I'd highly recommend doing the Molokai tour, even though it costs a bit more - Molokai was by far the highlight of the tour with the rock cliffs and ronkey donkey (that'd be ridiculous) waterfalls. Finally, as you leave be sure to purchase the SD card with the video of your tour - it includes audio and multiple angles of the best views. We easily copied ours onto our laptop, and the staff did not pressure us to buy separate copies which was nice. Absolutely do not leave Maui without experiencing a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian!

Hawaii's beauty can not be seen and fully understood until you fly over these islands. Must see with your own eyes the landscape, the seascape in 3D and the helicopter ride is the way to go. It is expensive, understandably not everyone can afford to pay over $200.00 for a 45 minute ride, but if you can, you should go. We chose the West Maui & Molokai tour to see the cliffs and waterfalls. The weather was perfect, clear blue skies and bluest waters you can imagine, saw lots of whales in the Pailolo channel, it was a memorable 45 minutes ride. The entire tour operation is conducted in very safety oriented, very professional manner. Obviously they are prepared to 'process' a lot of tourist in the busy season. Our pilot was kind, ready to answer all the questions in addition to his narration during the flight. We flew in A-Star helicopter, and the ride was smooth.I sat by a window in the back row, had great view, but it was difficult to take good pictures due to the glare. I expected less distortion. Still managed to have some great shots. We bought the CD of our tour, unfortunately it is very poor quality, does not do justice to the wonderful tour we had. Should have bought the HD DVD instead. If you want to show your friends yourself inside the helicopter, just take a selfie. My hope is to return to Hawaii and take the Big Island tour in the future.

We booked our tour with Blue Hawaiian directly through the travel desk at our hotel. My wife and I along with another couple made the 45 minute trip from Lanai to the airport with no difficulty. Prep for the flight is a 10 minute video, and then you're on the tarmac. Our pilot was great. The helicopter was in immaculate condition. We took the Molokai/West Maui tour. It was absolutely breathtaking. After crossing from Maui to Molokai, you have an opportunity to see some gorgeous waterfalls and terrain. After the waterfalls, the ocean cliffs of Molokai are difficult to get your mind around. They are just otherworldly. That sight will be imprinted in my my forever. Our Pilot flew us directly over our hotel in Lanai, and the Western Maui portion of the flight was equally captivating. The only disappointment was when the flight was over. I offered every bribe at my disposal to my wife to turn around and do the tour again.

We took the West Maui and Molokai tour, approximately 45-50 minute flight. I was bit skeptical due to the weather forecast, but it turned out beautiful. We watched a short safety video prior to our departure. We took the Eco-star since it had a little more room in the interior. The flight was smooth and our pilot Eric was very informative and enjoyable as he spoke about the various areas we flew over. We saw spectacular waterfalls, striking cliffs and the incredible coastline of West Maui and Molokai. The beauty of this type of tour is that there are areas that you would only be able to see by helicopter, flying into breathtaking valleys to see incredible scenery and being able to capture these moments on film. This was one of the most memorable activities we did while on vacation.
