This tour was absolutely breath taking! We had never been on a helicopter before, the experience is different from an airplane because you can feel and see everything while your moving. We took some motion sickness medicine, just in case. Our pilot was named Hugo and he was the best! Our flight was not bumpy and Hugo gave us lots of good information about Maui. He had us laughing and answered any questions anyone had. Seeing the beauty of the big blue ocean and riding through the green mountains and volcanos was one for the books. Nothing can compare to that beauty. We got to see the waterfall where they filmed the first Jurassic Park movie. We had a fabulous ride and nothing else beat seeing God's beauty from our seats. We did not get to see whales, because it wasn't the season for it, but they said if you ever get the chance to go during December- April you should take the helicopter tour because you will see 15-20 whales. But if you want a good tour of West Maui chose this tour. You wont regret it!

My wife and I took the tour of western Maui and Molokai helicopter tour with our captain, Tim. Our experience with Blue Hawaiian all in all was exceptional service from booking the reservation to checking in upon arrival to the actual tour itself. This is obviously a business that takes customer service a high priority. We also have a flash drive of our tour which have watched since we returned home to relive our awesome experience. I can't recommend them enough!!

I highly recommend this is you have the budget. Unbelievable views made up for how nervous I was. Pilot answered every question. I will never forget this moment.

Amazing Experience!! We all had a great time on the west maui molokai tour with Rick as our pilot!! Check in 45 mins prior, you need to be weighed (it's not announced so you feel comfortable) . There's a 5 min safety video that gives you a look at what to expect and details about the helicopter. You can only bring sunglasses and a cell phone, they provide lockers free of charge for anything else like purses, hats, etc. The bathrooms are clean. Wear black After the safety video, you move on to the next area where you put on your life vests and get in order of how you'll be sitting based on weight. Then you go outside where we took a group pic and get into the helicopter in order, they help you get in and put your seatbelt on and head sets. There's 2 seats up front and the lighest person sits next to the pilot, there's 4 seats in back and even the center 2 seats had great viewing. Ac was available as well as barf bags The pilot Rick was a nice guy, knowledgeable about the tour and other random questions. There's 3 microphones used to communicate. Although the west maui mountains were cloudy we went around the turbulence and got to see a different side of Maui you don't always see. It was cool to see the island from above and get a better geographical understanding. We all felt very safe. I think the most exciting part was take off!! It's so entertaining, its over quick so enjoy every minute! After landing, they open the doors, help you out and guide you back to the building, all still feeling safe while lots of helicopters are around you. Once inside, you fill out a comment card about the pilot and trip and can leave a tip. You can purchase a video of your experience, views both inside and out and audio too!! $40 All employees were very friendly Wonderful time, can't wait to go again!! Thank you Blue Hawaiian!!

We booked the west Maui and Molokini tour during our recent visit. It was amazing. Pilot was very professional. Views were unreal. Would definitely recommend. If you have a tendency to get motion sickness, I would take Dramamine or use a Scopolamine patch. Totally worth it.

I've been on several helicopter tours, Blue Hawaiian did an excellent job! Their staff was so fun and efficient that check in and safety orientation was a simple and easy. The flight was beautiful and informative. Molokai has some stunning landscape and reef systems and West Maui is always gorgeous. Bruno was our pilot and he was very fun and informative, you can tell he loves his job. I didn't feel anxious or uncomfortable at any time during my experience. Highly recommended.

This was a great Helicopter Flight. Our instructor was so informative and made us all chuckle over & over. We made our own Sunrise coming up to and over a mountain. That was spectacular. Saw so many Waterfalls and great areas. Saw where Jurassic Park was filmed. So lush and Beautiful. Worth every Penny!

I was a little hesitant to do this activity given the cost - it ain't cheap. And the cost is really the only reason I gave it four stars - well, with one other smaller knock which I'll get to. My family of five participated with kids ages 15, 12 and 9. Everyone had a blast. My 9 year old was firing off questions to the poor pilot most of the flight. But the views of Molokai and the sea cliffs/waterfalls was amazing. And then we got to see dozens of humpbacks and their babies between Lanai and Maui. The pilot was extremely knowledgeable - to the point where I was curious whether he was just making up stuff. My son was asking him the names of all the waterfalls and he seemed to know the names of even the tiniest?! My small knock was that we had 5 people in our group. These helicopters technically fit 6 people. My concierge said there was no way they'd find a single to fill that seat. But lo and behold a single showed up and went with us. I was pretty fired up given how much I was spending for this flight. There was another helicopter going out at the same time with 4 people - but we took the single. That said, the experience and the pilot made up for it. They pick the seats for each person. I had a front seat which was great. My littlest kids had window seats in the back and those were great. I've read a lot about how bad the middle back seats are but I actually didn't hear any complaints from my wife and oldest daughter. So they must have been fine - especially when they're just looking over the smaller kids.

Hard to rate Blue Hawaiian. The staff are wonderful and expertly accommodating to my husband who needed the lift chair to get in and out of the helicopter. Have flown with them before on the Maui Island tour, which is fabulous, especially when Haleakala is not clouded over. My daughter and her family did this tour this time and raved about it, especially getting to pass over many groups of whales. Having done that tour, we selected the newer West Maui and Molokai tour. Worth the ride for the view of the north side of the island and its highest-seacliffs-in-the-world view. Some nice waterfalls. But, I was very disappointed that we were not able to fly over or even get close to the former leper colony and sanctuary with Father Damien's grave. It's inaccessible by ground as well. Since it takes time to get to Molokai, the tour is limited to the north side and the fly-by Maui is limited to the west side from Kapalua to Maalaena (sp?) Harbor. So came away somewhat pleased and somewhat disappointed.

Hugo was our pilot and he did a great job! He was very personable and made every feel at ease. We had a rainy day but made the best of it. We would definitely recommend the great folks of Blue Hawaiian to anyone!

This was the best 'touristy' thing we did all week! What a great experience! Our pilot was so fun and informative! The entire thing went by way too fast. We chose to do this on our very first day. We could see so many waterfalls, crashing waves, etc. The pilot pointed out great places to visit. Later, while driving, we could see where we had flown over. It was a fantastic experience that we won't forget. Well worth the costs! Keep in mind that winds kick up in the afternoon. The best -- and smoothest -- time to fly is in the morning hours.

What an amazing way to see the island! The views are spectacular. Mike is a great pilot, very knowledgeable and personalizes the tour. Music was great! Well worth the money!!!

Un gros coup de coeur pour notre séjour à Maui ! Nous avons eu M. Lee comme pilote ! Professionnel et passionné. Entre les trames sonores qui jouaient, le pilote nous donnait pleins d’infos intéressantes sur ce que nous visitions! De plus, il y a eu un délai pour notre embarquement et l’équipe nous a immédiatement offert le vidéo de notre tour gratuitement. Je recommande cette compagnie si vous avez l’intention de vous payer ce trip !!

Highlight of our two week vacation! Spectacular views, very smooth flight, great pilot (Hugo), We had so many reservations given the high cost and general fear factor, but wow, what a lifetime experience. Great company, with stellar safety record. GIVE IT A TRY, YOU WON"T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

We were keen to see the recent volcanic activity so took a tour. We flew along the coast towards the volcano area and then circled the crater area as well as other areas of activity. Then flew back over airport and up the other coast to see the landscape and a large waterfall. Then back over the cruise ship.
