This was a great experience. Was nervous a bit but got over it as soon as the helicopter left the ground. Our pilot was knowledgeable of the island. If you decide to get the usb drive of the tour, make sure the audio is on the drive. Each file was approximately 10 minutes, 5 minutes in on each file we lost sound. Disappointed as this was an extra we paid for the memory and only have part of the voice. The tour itself though was good.

I love helicopter tours! Had a great Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour in Maui. This was a bit disappointing. The pilot (can't remember his name) knew a lot about the island but shared info in little snippets instead of normal sentences that really told the story about what we were seeing. Also, it seemed like we quickly passed by many of the main attractions I hoped to see from the air. By the time I saw the area in question (such as the Dole plantation), we were nearly past it. I got a better look from the photos I was snapping than in real time. Maybe the experience would have been different with a different pilot, but this particular trip was not what I would have expected from Blue Hawaiian.

Overall, we really enjoyed our tour. The pilot was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting facts about the island. The day we went it was a little choppy, but the pilot was nice to tell us when we may expect to get smoother air. We were in the helicopter with a family of 4, two being small children. One of the kids found it very entertaining to constantly talk in the microphone to his dad, so it kind of took away from the tour for us. The pilot interacted with the kid a lot, which took away from our experience as we were not able to really ask questions or interact with the pilot. They offer a complimentary shuttle service from your hotel to the airport (where they have their helicopters), which was really nice.

Incontournable si vous êtes à Hawaï ! J'ai hésité avant de le faire à cause du tarif relativement important, mais finalement j'ai décidé de le faire et je n'ai pas regretté, tout ce que j'ai fait au sol, j'ai pu le voir du ciel et la perspective est totalement différente et incroyable !

First let me say that it is almost impossible to screw up a helicopter tour over any of the Hawaiian Islands. The scenery is some of the most spectacular you will ever see and the pictures you will take will get hundreds of likes when you post them on Instagram. Mine did. So my comments today about our Blue Hawaiian Tour will be about some of the little things that may help you decide which of all the tour providers on Oahu you should choose. On the plus side, the Blue Hawaiian aircraft we flew in was one of the nicest commercial helicopters I've been on. Everything was in great shape and gives you confidence about doing something that others might initially be hesitant to do. Also, the 60 minute flight we chose departed from Ko-Olina Marina, near where we were staying on the west side. So it was very convenient for us, and Blue Hawaiian is the only provider operating from the Ko-Olina resort. Next, we made reservations online about a week ahead and so the check in experience was easy and handled very professionally by the staff who worked at the desk in the Marina office. On the flip side, our pilot was older and seemed to be less than enthusiastic about his job. His narration was monotone and hard to hear and he seemed to over emphasize the military bases, the WW2 history of Oahu and the ancient formation of the island. He also seemed to get annoyed when someone would ask a question or make a request. For example, we were flying above the north shore and headed toward some of my favorite surf spots- Pipeline, Sunset, Turtle Bay, which I wanted to photograph from the air- when he abruptly turned inward. When I asked him why we werent going to continue toward those beaches he gave us a BS answer about it being too cloudy to see anything. After that we flew over Sacred Falls, which is supposed to be one of the highlights of most all of the Oahu flights, and something I really wanted to see. But our pilot didn't do much to make sure that everyone in the back seat got a good view of the Falls and were able to take a picture from their seat. When someone asked him to turn the - copter so they could see Sacred Falls he blew them off saying we had to move along. My last example is similar. We were flying near Hawaii Kai and noticed a couple whales spouting off below us. The pilot flew closer and hovered over the whales for a minute, but the poor folks in the back seat were not able to see the whales long enough to get a good picture and the pilot hurried on. Still, we enjoyed our tour, and will probably fly with Blue Hawaiian again, but because of the price we paid, our expectations of service, by the pilot especially, were higher. On this helicopter, the folks who are lucky enough to get the front seats will have a much better experience.

We have visited this area before but seeing it from the sky is totally great. The water falls, Pearl Harbor and the island is stupendous. Great flight.

If you want a breath of fresh air and the Lord's Creation from the sky take ride on Blue Hawaii Helicopter Tour. Extremely professional helicopter pilots and alot of fun. You able to see Pearl Harbor and beautiful mountains in Hawaii. It gives you a different outlook of life to be able to the combination of the ocean, sky and country. I highly recommend buying the video of your flight. Blue Hawaii does an excellent job of combining the video of you in the helicopter, the view of Hawaii and music. You can't go wrong with Blue Hawaii Helicopter Tour. 😉

Magnum Helicopter Tours is a five star company in my book. I have been on several helicopter tours, but Magnum was by far the best. Door to door service with friendly, courteous drivers. Staff is excellent and very safety oriented. The equipment is immaculately kept and in top operational order. Tour of O'ahu was amazing, although be advised if you request a "doors off" tour, it is very windy but a must for photography. Our pilot Evan was fantastic! Excellent pilot and very knowledgeable and funny guy. I would recommend this tour company to anyone that loves to fly and wants to see the scenery from the air. P.S. Being in T.C.'s ride (Magnum PI) was amazing. Aloha!

We booked with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters after a recommendation from our hotel. They picked us up from our Waikiki based hotel and drove to the Airport. After a short safety brief, we were off into the sky. Our day was partially overcast, and the pilot did state we could not go closer to certain attractions, but we all enjoyed the ride and totally recommend.

This is definitely a must! The flight was smooth and beautiful. The pilot, Gardner, was excellent. I was concerned about how the helicopter would cause motion sickness but no problem

What a great experience! Blue Hawaiin Helicopters picked us up from our hotel in Waikiki on time. The day prior, they called, confirmed and gave very detailed instructions. We had a safety briefing and then the fun began. Paul was our pilot. Paul is a retired U.S. Coast Guard pilot and it showed! He was great and gave an awesome tour. The helicopter was clean, well equiped and the sight lines were great. Paul made sure each side of the helicopter got to see each site. It was breath taking. My wife had doubts about riding in a helicopter, but was soon won over.We purchased the picture in front of the helicopter (a must). I don't want to forget this experience. Can't wait to visit another Hawaiin Island and will definetely be taking another tour with Blue Hawaiin Helicopters.

Nous avons fait un tour de 45 minutes autour de l’île, les paysages sont idylliques, le tour est complet, le personnel agréable et professionnel. Le pilote donne des informations sur ce l’on survole (mer, montagne, cratère de volcan, campagne et ville). A refaire ! Mahalo

The pilot was very knowledgeable and pointed out many areas of interest. The helicopter was clean and spacious. I would definitely use them again in the future plans to Hawaiian Islands. The price was fair for what received, but it should have included the video taken by the helicopter camera’s , instead of trying to have us buy it for $62.00 for a thumb drive. Which we did not opted out to purchase. Overall definitely was a great experience. The shuttle drivers to and from the hotel to the airport where the helicopter took off from were very nice.

On a prior trip to Oahu I took this same tour and loved it. I wanted to do it again and glad I did. This tour was a little different then before. We didn't fly near Turtle Bay Resort and the Navy does not allow a fly over the USS Arizona. The closest you can get to the Arizona is the Ford Island bridge. Other than that it was awesome. the funny thing about this experience was out of our group of 6 my husband and I had the exact same seats and pilot as last time. The views from the helicopter are remarkable.

This is a must do.We covered the whole island.Even saw Pearl Harbour and the SS Arizona.Major movie sites like Jurrasic Park,Magnum PI.Breathtaking.
