Hugo is a super courteous pilot, well-informed about all the sights and able to answer our every question. His hovering over a breaching pod of whales so we could take videos and photos was by itself worth the price of admission!
We did this for my husbands 60th birthday in November 2018 with our 4x Kids who are all in their 20yrs. We Experienced the phenomenal scenery of this island's hidden rain forests, lush valley and beaches. You glide over the vivid turquoise coral reefs of Waikiki, look down into the extinct volcano of Diamond Head. View crescent-shaped Hanauma Bay, the white sand Waimanalo Beach, Chinaman's Hat and the beautiful coral formation in Kaneohe Bay. We soared over the cliffs of the Nuuanu Valley rainforest, then fly along the breathtaking coastline to Sacred Falls and the Panoramic Dole Pineapple Plantations. We also fly over Pearl Harbour, the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri which was sad in one way thinking about the memory of what happened there but an amazing experience. Our Pilot was brilliant and the music inside the Helicopter was absolutely outstanding as it coordinated to each adventure we fly over playing the Music theme that rated to the scene at that time. Totally recommend this company and trip. Was glad it was only 45/50 mins as that was enough for me, as I started to feel a little airsick towards the last 15 mins!! The rest of my family were absolutely fine and loved it. Make sure you wear dark coloured shirts on this trip so you can take great photos. White shirts reflects back on the windows and spoils your photo shots. This company also picked us up from our Hotel and dropped us back which was great.
Although like most Helicopters tours are pricey this is a must do. We have been on several tours and this you have to see to believe. Loren the pilot was hilarious.
Very professional with knowledgeable team members. Felt very safe. The tour of Kauai was beautiful and as described on their website.
I saw most everything in Volcanoes National Park. Beau was a great, informative pilot and tour guide. I booked all my excursions through Princess cruises at Hilo, Honolulu,Kauai and Maui. The Maui helicopter tour was the only one that disappointed. It was nothing but a glorified taxi straight back to the heliport.
We have flown on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters a number of times. Very professional and knowledgeable pilots. We flew on a bit of a showery day with Matthew, but the views were awesome as usual and he shared just enough information to add to the majectic views.
Our third time flying with Blue Hawaiian. This was the first time on the Big Island. Excellent views and lots of waterfalls. The staff and pilot were very nice and helpful as always.
Ethan, our pilot, was so patient with 3 kids all competing for air time with questions. He was very knowledgeable and had a good attitude when my kids asked some wacky questions. Thank you!
Out Pilot, Audi, was AMAZING! very professional and informative. The check-in staff and ground crew were also awesome! Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!
Great tour and loved the pilot's (Ethan) commentary.
Brandon was very helpful and full of info. And our driver Lily who picked us up was great. Dave & Lena Craig
Kris was an excellent pilot and great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the island and made the experience educational and very enjoyable for our kids. It was an amazing way to see this magnificent island!
Absolutely wonderful tour! We had excellent weather and saw wonderful waterfalls!
Beautiful, breathtaking and spectacular! One of a kind experience. Made extra special by our Pilot Carl. Thank you, we will never forget this experience! :)
first time, and I loved it
