Once in a lifetime experience and I felt very comfortable with the pilot and the helicopter, two important items that could make or break a trip!!! My daughter and I got front seats alongside the pilot and while I was alittle freaked out about it, the pilot briefed us immediately once we sat down (this in addition to the safety training brief before we boarded) and made me feel relaxed. He even engage all of us in conversation that it made you forget how high we were in the sky over the Pacific and how close the cliffs were!!! All in all, a fantastic trip and one I would do again!

Whales, turtles, mountain tops, waterfalls...beautiful scenery from the air! What an incredible trip this was! Perfect weather too! Incredible to see and experience! The pilot - Mike - was very professional and gave us an awesome tour! Pretty amazing that my husband agreed to go...since he’s a heli pilot himself! He mentioned the fleet is well looked after, helicopters looked top notch, and our pilot was very experienced! We both felt very safe and enjoyed our trip very much! Highly recommended!!!

Loved the west Maui/ Molokai flight. Our pilot was awesome, funny and very knowledgeable about all the islands . We had booked through our Expedia rep at our resort and it was very smooth, check in was a breeze and the ground crew and all staff were super nice. Would recommend this to anyone.

I live on maui so I’d wanted to go for a helicopter tour for a while and did my checking into company’s for a while trying to decide so I was so excited when my friend said that was on the top of her list of activities! We had an amazing time on this tour it was just beyond my imagination at how beautiful this tour was! I highly recommend the West Maui Moloka’i tour as it’s the only way to see West Maui Mountains. There’s not the ability to hike and adventure into the west side like there is on Hana side and it’s much more fun to see hana on land and hiking it witch is not an option for West Maui so choose this side of island! With the bonus of seeing the highest sea cliffs in the world there’s no comparison between the 2! On top of that The Piolet was knowledgeable and made it lots of fun also pointing out whales and ocean life as well as other sights! I would defiantly recommend this company as I also believe they have the highest safety rating for helicopter tours or did when I was looking into them!

Weather was a little rough but Jack did a great job. He took us through areas that were clearing and avoid the bad weather as much as possible. He provided some great information on the islands and made sure everyone in the back had a chance to see the important stuff. He even circled around over the ocean to point out some whales. Overall a great experience.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour was awesome, their phone staff, front desk staff, grounds crew and pilot Mike Thatcher were outstanding!!! They were so accommodating and helped make our day. We had originally booked with Air Maui 5 days in advance and they cancelled on us when we nearly arrived at the hanger that morning for our scheduled time - they had sick pilots, some on vacation and mechanical issues. So if you want to take a helicopter tour be sure to go with Blue Hawaiian, and request Mike Thatcher as your pilot!!!!

We initially booked Hana and Haleakana tour, but it was cancelled due to the low cloud condition. So we switched to Molokai and West Maui tour. We saw the tallest waterfall in Hawaii and the highest sea cliff in the world on this tour. Not to mention that we spotted a whale family on the way back. The pilot was very nice and took a few minutes flying around and we then saw a few more whale families in the ocean. The tour is not cheap, but it is worth every penny! This is a must-do activity in my opinion.

Did this tour as an excursion from a cruise. It is a 40+ minute ride from the ship to the airport, which seemed particularly long. David, our pilot, did a good job showing us sites around Maui. The most impressive part of the flight was the 4000-foot sea cliffs on Molokai. Seeing our ship from the air was pretty cool. David was knowledgeable, but could have offered more info during the flight.

What a wonderful way to view Maui! Everyone from the person who booked the tour, the person who called to confirm the day before, and the staff at the front desk who checked us in were warm, friendly and helpful. And our pilot, Derek, totally rocked it! He was very professional, but entertaining and alot of fun. There were 2 small girls on our tour and Derek was terrific with them! The helicopter was comfortable and the ride was nice and smooth. I would give this tour and company two thumbs up!

Went on the tour of Western Maui and nearby island of Molokai yesterday afternoon. Hugo did a great job of not only piloting the helicopter but was very knowledgeable of the history of both islands. Tour focused more on Molokai which only has 7000 inhabitants vs. 160,000 for Maui. Saw world's tallest waterfall. Blue Hawaiian gives you Bose noise-canceling headphones and you hear the tour guide's commentary along with some nice relaxing background music. Highly recommend!

If you have taken the time to travel all the way to Maui, you **owe** it to yourself to see it from a helicopter. Yes it’s expensive. So is everything else on the island. Two words: worth it. I went with 3 adults and 2 kids and to see they won’t stop talking about it is an understatement. The pilot was very skilled and put the passengers at ease. The staff was extremely organized and professional. Even the music was choreographed to what we were seeing. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

This was a spectacular tour. It was incredible to see places you can only access from the air (Molokai cliffs, waterfalls in the West Maui mountains...) We booked a day in advance & were able get a 1pm tour. The eco helicopter had huge viewing windows & the Bose headphones canceled out the engine noise while letting you hear the music soundtrack (loved the Indiana Jones & Jurassic Park instrumentals to set the mood...) Pilot was great with commentary & questions. Very professional operation we chose based on the safety record & all the 5 star reviews. Would definitely recommend - it was a highlight of our trip.

I was so disappointed with our helicopter flight over West Maui & Molokai. Where you sit in the helicopter determines what you see and how much of it you see. I was in the back diagonally opposite the pilot. My husband was in the back behind the pilot. The 2 seats between us were empty. The 2 front seats were filled. The people in the front got the best views and photo opportunities. I saw a lot of blue sea and when we flew back along the Molokai coast line with the cliffs we were too close so the photo opportunities were lost. I kept passing our camera to my husband to take photos because most of the photo opportunities were either on the pilot's side or out the front (which I couldn't see properly and there was no way I would get decent photos from the back seat). You cannot pay extra for guaranteed seats so its pot luck, based on computer allocation. Definitely disappointing and not worth the money!! I would not do this again.

I went alone on this tour, and had a blast! Hugo, our pilot was knowledgable, experienced and very friendly! Our tour was very lucky to see some rare parts of Molokai and the crater inside the volcano on northern Maui. I would recommend going on this tour to anybody! I got amazing pictures that are breathtaking and I would not get anywhere else. It was amazing to see some places where I would not see if I was not in this helicopter. The staff were very safety orientated and I did not doubt my safety when Hugo was driving the helicopter!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED our helicopter tour. The views were breathtaking. I can't wait to go back to Maui; we will definitely be taking the full island tour next time. It is worth the money. I was really nervous about it, because I am sometimes afraid of heights. But our pilot was obviously highly skilled, and a few seconds after we left the launch pad I was not nervous at all. Our pilot, Tim, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and was a wealth of information about Maui. It was disappointing that we got rained out twice, but they are really professional about it. The staff will rebook you if you are able to make that work for your schedule. If not, they refund your money. (It's not at all like an airline.) I highly recommend this.
