Excellent views and excellent pilot. Chris was great and he talked to us about the island's history and interesting locations throughout the flight. The seats are comfortable and the windows are large and easy to see through, even in the middle seat. Would highly recommend, it could quite possibly be the highlight of your trip to Maui.
Matt was a great pilot and tour guide, flight was awesome.
Wow! This was an amazing adventure. Although I was a bit nervous about the trip, I felt completely safe with our pilot, Chelsea! She handled the helicopter confidentiality, beautifully, and brought us up close to beauty few get to witness. Blue Hawaiian was awesome. My only recommendation (and it’s not a big deal) is to offer the option of printing the pictures they take. I would have bought the package, but didn’t want to print them when I got home. For $40 dollars, I just feel that’s fair. Overall, an exhilarating and wonderful experience!
Beautiful scenery, great commentary. It was the first time any of us (family of 4) had been on a helicopter. Yoshi was EXCELLENT!! It was so nice that he was so professional and put us at ease during our flight. He would also tell us ahead of time if he was going to turn the aircraft around (in order to allow the passengers on both sides of the helicopter to see everything). He had a very gentle, calming nature about him, and the music that played in our headphones when he wasn't speaking was very soothing. We had seen most of what we saw during our tour earlier in the week on land during our Road to Hana tour and visit to Haleakala summit, however seeing it all from a helicopter was a different experience all together, and one that I'm glad that we had. We also purchased the flash drive of our flight, and that is a great keepsake. Our very our "Aerial Maui" tour. Thank you, Blue Hawaiian and Yoshi for creating a wonderful memory for our family of a very special trip to Maui!
The landing in a private ranch was great, having drinks on top of Maui. Seeing the Hana jungle with all the waterfalls from the helicopter is breathtaking. Hooray captain Mike.
Absolutely amazing experience. My 12 and 9 year old loved it. Time went by fast! Should have done the longer one.
Our pilot Marcus gave us a great flight around the island. It was a great experience! I will absolutely recommend it. Thanks!
Pilot and flight were great but ground crew and policies were a bit insulting. The safety video states that they will give us an opportunity to take photos before we board the helicopter and showed a family with a crew member taking their camera and taking their photo. When we got to the helicopter, they had a camera and took our photo then I handed them mine and they said they couldn't do it because it was a safety concern. Really? Or is it a money concern??? If I am paying $300. x 5 people = $1500 I can't take a photo because I need to buy your $50 package??? Then I told my family that I was going to take a selfie of us as we walked off the tarmac. I started to but the crew made us stop! Not even a selfie. Then we walk in the buiding and they try to UPSELL us the photo they took of us and a video. How insulting. I'd rather pay more for the ticket than to be made to feel like a scofflaw not allowed to take my own photo with a fake excuse about safey. Our pilot was a former navy pilot with decades of flying experience...but as we walk in we see that he is working partially off of tips!!! There is a huge clear acrylic box with blank envelopes with a big sign for us to leave a tip for our pilot. So they don't even pay him enough? What a horrible experience. We felt like we were just dollar signs. Such a bad taste was left in our mouths I would definitely NEVER go back and recommend using a more professional company.
Absolutely a must do! We drove all over the island, but this was so good. Staff was super nice and professional. Pilot was awesome! Very nice helicopter and the view from the air is great. Well worth the cost.
Highly recommend this - we had a magical week in Hawaii and this was the most amazing part. We did the waterfall landing, and it was absolutely worth every penny. Our pilot was engaging during the ride, made sure to speak to each member of the flight, and took amazing pictures for us at our landing. It was an incredible way to see the big island, especially since so many parts of it are not easily accessible via other forms of transportation.
Unbelievable views of the island from viewing lava within the volcano crater, to viewing the rainforest, and ending with spectacular waterfall views. I couldn’t ask for more.
Amazing tour with blue hawaiian in Kauai. Captain Keith was simply amazing and showed us sights that were phenomenal. He made the flight extremely entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.
Pilot Wesley is best
What a beautiful way to start off a two week vacation in Hawaii! The Blue Skies of Oahu tour was AMAZING!!! This was the first time that my son and I flew in a helicopter. I paid a little extra for the front seats. It was worth every penny. What a view! Koji, our pilot, was an awesome tour guide. He was very informative and gave so much information and made you feel at ease during our flight. Oahu is so beautiful scenic to see from the air. You will see beautiful sites Diamond Head, the Sacred Falls, China man's Hat, Ko'olau Mountains, the North Shore, Dole Pineapple Plantation and Pearl Harbor. A site that I will NEVER FORGET - the oil that still can be seen trailing from the USS Arizona as you pass over Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. I would HIGHLY recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters whether it is your first time to Hawaii, as in my case, or if you been here many times before. Aloha!
Keith was our pilot. We did the flight with a young child. Keith was very conscious of the weather as he repeatedly does flights throughout the day and analyzes the surroundings. Keith said we were able to go into the green crater because there was sunlight in it. So if your lucky on your flight, the weather cooperates. Nevertheless, Keith prioritizes safety. He did not get too close to the waterfalls so we felt very safe on the tour. I thought I was in a movie. I thought my helicopter ride was just surreal. A must do flight!
