Wow! What an outstanding way to see all of Oahu! I'm still in awe! This was THE highlight of our trip. Our pilot, Christopher made it an outstanding perfect flight! Our young children just LOVED it! Loved the fact we could buy a DVD of our entire flight, too. Great customer service, too!

This was a 70th bday gift for my mom, who admittedly was freaked out at first but pilot Spencer put her at ease and she had a blast. She’s still talking about it several days later. One-hour Oahu island tour had amazing views, great narration and interaction with passengers. Blue Hawaiian is one of the few helicopters tours that offers closed window doors vs no doors. Terrific way to see entire island before deciding if you want to sit in traffic to drive it, which could take hours. We were warmly greeted upon arriving by the desk staff. Safety instructor Angela was super friendly, patient and great to work with. Photo/video sales team also had great customer service. Highly recommend this tour. Don’t let initial fear keep you from an amazing experience.

Je voulais absolument faire le tour de l’île en hélicoptère ! C’est chose faites et je ne regrette pas du tout !!!!! Des vus magnifique, quelque explications, de la musique qui donne l’impression d’être dans une série TV ! Et du personnel vraiment sympa. Je recommande a 100%

We did the 60 minute tour of the whole of Oahu on our first morning on the island. The tour was well organized and although it was pricey ($1000 for 4 people), it was absolutely worth it. The pilot was amazingly skilled and showed us the whole island, including a few inland scenes like waterfalls and such. It was a great introduction to the island!

The tour is priceless. It was our first time in a Helicopter and Brandon (our pilot) made us feel an incredible experience. The views are amazing. Highly recommendable.

Great complete island tour with Pilot Josh. He's an amazing guide and pilot and will take on on a ride over some of the most scenic spots around Oahu that can only be fully appreciated from the sky. Friendly customer service staff from beginning to the end, everyone there was great.

We had taken a Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour on the Big Island back in 2016 and knew we liked the company. We signed up for this tour expecting it to be fun. However, it turned out to be so much more! Our pilot, Josh, was very knowledgeable about so many aspects of the island and his narrative added tremendously to what we were seeing. Beside expertly providing amazing views of the scenery, he was able to provide much of the history of the sites we were seeing. His interaction with the passengers made the trip so enjoyable. We had the added benefit of seeing a lot of whale activity on the North Shore which was stunning! The crew that assisted us in getting ready for the flight was also super-friendly and helpful. A class act from beginning to end!

We took a one-hour whole island (Oahu) tour. The entire package was great. The coordination of our pickup at the hotel, the in processing and safety briefing were top notch. The facility, equipment, and staff were all 5 stars! Our pilot was professional and personable. The helicopter was very comfortable, had great air conditioning and great visibility! Wear dark colors to reduce any glare or reflections from the windows so you don't ruin your pictures! Be sure your camera/phone is fully charged because you'll wear it out taking pictures! We even saw numerous whales on our ride! It's not cheap - but worth every penny - which worked out to be about $300/per person, still a great value! Get the plaque and video at the end.

First, if you find this helpful please also give reviews. It is a habit I myself am trying to set. We were really happy with our experience. We had utilized a predecessor company when we were in Oahu a couple years ago and intended to use them again when we discovered they had been bought by Blue Hawaiian. This was a great way to orient yourself to the island. We were traveling for my mother in law’s 75th birthday, and this was a special treat we planned for her. It was a great experience. From the drives who picked us up/dropped us off to the staff in the heliport and ramp, everyone was very friendly. The directions in the briefing and outside were clear and consistent. I can’t say enough about Lauren, our veteran pilot. He was great, helping to make the best of a rainy, moody day. His humor and knowledge made for a truly enjoyable ride. Something that I think was specifically considerate, was that the folks at the desk identified that there were some people in my group for whom the ride may be a gift, and were very discreet about showing me the amount I needed to pay (booked through the website) at check in. Some things to note for first timers: -You don’t get to choose your seat on the helicopter. They will seat your based on weight distribution. And feel as you may, they’re probably not going to care about your thoughts. They’re there for your safety. Make the best of it! -Embrace the Hawaiian spirit and let loose. Take great photos, but don’t forget to just BE there and enjoy it! -Tip your pilot! We’ve done tours all over, and this doesn’t seem to resonate with folks. I recommend a 10-20% tour cost tip. Thanks for everyone for a great experience!

I always declined to do a helicopter ride because its only has one engine. Well I decided to go on our last trip to O'hau and was not disappointed. It was a one hour island tour and the staff and crew were amazing. We went over Waikiki beach up the eastern side of the island and then inland to see a fall not reachable by hiking. Pipeline beach, Dole Plantation and then eventually over Pearl Harbor. Recommended activity for everyone.

We really enjoyed this ride. The Complete Island tour got us around most of the coast and some inland areas, including Pearl Harbor. The captain was also fantastic- he had so much great information and was a great narrator.

This was a great tour of the Island (Oahu) by air. We saw just about every beach and site and took some great photos. The pilot was very good and told us some of the history while flying. People at the front desk were very pleasant and helpful. The whole team there were great. Upon arrival we purchased a video of our flight and a photo of us in front of the helicopter. Great thing to do while on the Island.

Began with a nervous wife who hates to fly. Finished with an exhilarated wife who now says that the helicopter ride was the highlight of our trip. Can't say enough about the class act here at Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours. Relaxing, fun, secure and an ariel perspective of the island we would never had otherwise experienced. This was a corporate "presidents club award" trip and one of the activities we could sign up for was the helicopter tours. We walked into the experience with little involvement with the booking so I cannot attest to the ease of scheduling, etc.. but the staff we came in contact with was extremely friendly and kept the group moving along and safe. We didn't buy the video (plenty of YouTube footage out there) but took tons of pictures. We were picked up in Ko Olina near the Disney and Four Seasons resort which allowed us to avoid the congestion of the city. Wear dark clothing to minimize interior glass reflection. Be prepared to step on a scale in front of others. They dont verbalize your weight out loud but they do mark it down. A great highlight for any Oahu trip.

Great way to see the island and it's amazing beauty. The people at Blue Hawaiian are awesome. The pilot was super cool and fun to be with on the trip.

The customer service was exceptional. Our pilot Brandon provided excellent narration and the music that was themed to each specific area that we visited was a great touch. My family had a great time, a must do when in Oahu!!
