This has to be one of the best ways to see Maui! From the air, you can see all the wonderful sights, as well as a few you may not have known existed. Traveling through the West Maui mountains, around Haleakela, Hana, and many sights that are difficult at best to get to by car. This is a definite bucket list item for everyone! Seeing Maui from the air gives you a whole new perspective on the island and its wonders!

We chose Blue Hawaiian since we had a great experience with them on the Big Island. The entire process from booking the tour to completion was very positive. We sat in the front seat for an additional charge. Derek, the pilot, was incredible with non stop facts about locations and the volcano. We had a smooth, safe flight with lots of memories captured on video. In addition, Kekai, booked our Helicopter reservation. When I asked for a Hana recommendation she suggested Temptation Tours for a private, small group tour to Hana. That was a winner as well!

This was the first helicopter trip for may wife and myself. We previously had one booked in Kauai but had it cancelled due to weather. Our trip was incredible. Mike was our pilot and was entertaining and informative. We did the complete island tour and enjoyed it tremendously. It truly gave us a better perspective of the island while traveling around later. With the trip it also allowed us to see places that are not accessible other than by air. This is a trip that I would highly recommend for anyone!

We reserved the front seats and the views of Maui were amazing. Highly recommend if you take this tour to call ahead and reserve front seats. Absolutely stunning views!

This was our first helicopter experience and worth the time and cost. Service was excellent and our pilot was very safety oriented and gentle with us first time Heli fliers. He also was a great guide answering questions and explaining the scenery below. We very much enjoy this trip and will rebook for a different Maui adventure on our next visit.

I was apprehensive about going, but the ride in the EcoStar was smooth and safe. Most of the view are only accessible from the air. We did the road to Hana a few days earlier and this helped put places in context during our flight. The mid-flight landing and champagne toast were unnecessary and consumed valuable time that would have been better spent in the air. It would have been nice to see, or land on the summit, and see the observatories. The flight was short and expensive, hence the Very Good rather than Excellent rating.

We Did the complete island tour and Thought it was simply amazing! My parents had never been on a helicopter before and they loved it as well! Our pilot, Bruno was very knowledgeable about the islands and what we were flying over. He made sure that both sides of the helicopter got good pictures of everything. He was the best any pilot could be! Highly recommend!

My wife and I are in total agreement… Tim was a superb tour guide and pilot. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure. Tim was knowledgeable, caring and made our adventure even that much more exciting. He complemented the remarkable natural beauty with facts, figures and awesome commentary. We particularly appreciated his knowledge and respect for the Hawaiian people and culture.

We booked this somewhat last minute and were so glad we did! Totally worth it- from take off, seeing the very shallow water to the breathtaking mountains and waterfalls. Our pilot, Rick, was really chill and very knowledgable about the island and the history. From the weather and rock formations to folklore. This is really the best way to see Maui. I highly recommend.

Amazing views of Maui. This was the highlight of our vacation. Special thank you to pilot Tim Perry. My husband and I rescheduled our tour just to have Tim be our pilot. My husband had previously taken a tour with him and found Tim to be very friendly and a great tour guide with lots of knowledge and experience flying helicopters.

Four of us took the Maui Complete Island Helicopter Tour with Blue Hawaiian. My wife and I booked the two front seats. Their operations staff was professional and helpful, their waiting area facilities are comfortable and well-maintained, their helicopter afforded panoramic views, and the pilot was very professional, informative about the geology and history of the island, and responsive to questions. Each of us had a head-set and each couple had a microphone to communicate with the pilot. The scenery is spectacular, with numerous razor-edged mountain ridges as a result of millions of years of rainfall-caused erosion, and all covered with lush vegetation. Because of the ruggedness of the terrain, most of the mountain areas are inaccessible, and help provide needed habitat for endangered bird species. Have been to Maui previously, but didn't fully appreciate the beauty and ruggedness of the mountains until this helicopter flight. As always with an aerial view, very helpful to put various locations into a "mental map" and "link the locations together in a more integrated way". Highly recommended.

What an awesome experience. Everyone was very professional and efficient. We got there a little early. They have you relax in a comfy lounge and wait to watch the safety video. Then after that we waiting for our turn. We get sent out the the helicopter which was a great size. I've ridden on much smaller ones so I was pleasantly surprised. We get in and end up having one of the most calm, pleasant knowledgeable guys. I couldn't have felt any more comfortable. He kept us up on every single thing he was doing on top of giving us so much information about the island. He even brought us over the ocean to take pics of the whales. He would go around in a circle so both sides of the group got good pics and kept asking if we were good or needed more time. The sites are to die for. If you don't do this tour your missing out.

Great experience, very friendly staff and the pilot was awesome! He landed on the mountain and that was fun too

Beautiful. Disappointed our pilot totally nixed N & S shores, missing N cliffs & S lava fields. Descent too fast from Haleakala. No close up waterfalls. For pilot I believe it was more about time than showing whole island experience, although he was very friendly & knowledgeable. Not at all worth the $$$.

It would be five stars if it weren’t for the element of “hurry up and wait.” Otherwise, they were super conscientious about temps and masking, and the tour was great, with a pilot who was happy to point out all the sights and let the kids ask questions.
