BLUF: If you only ever do one helicopter tour, this should be it!, Go! Worth the money! Safe operation. Excellent Customer service. Excellent operation from the time you walk in the door. Professional and customer friendly, engaging. I’m in the flying industry and was impressed with their detail towards safety. Comfortable waiting area with complimentary water. Our pilot, Matt, was exceptional. I did the tour with the waterfall landing (approx 1.5 hr tour/flt). Amazing views. Matt ensured both sides had an opportunity to see the sights on “their side.” Accessed parts of the island you’d never be able to see otherwise. We landed at a very cool 1,000 waterfall. About a 30 minute break to look around, take pictures, relax and discuss the area. Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you’ve never been on a helicopter there are relatively constant vibrations and can be a little bumpy (it IS a helicopter...lol). Nothing extreme nor concerning. Their headsets are noise cancelling (though I don’t remember that being briefed to us)....there is a button on the cord (push to activate and you should see a green light....push and hold to turn off and you’ll see a red’ish light) A couple good-to-knows before going: - wear darker clothing to cut down on window reflection(helps for taking pictures) - only sunglasses, phone/camera, water bottle on flight - no hats (free lockers available for any extra stuff you bring)
Nice friendly environment. Staff looked and conducted themselves in professional manner. Very pleasant and clean waiting area.
Julie that was the trip of a lifetime! I was nervous but your confidence rubbed off on me! thank you so much! what an experience!
amazing experience & Our Pilot Mike S was great
Excellent tour!
Our pilot, Beth, was informative, pleasant, and fun to fly with today. Also, she had a great play list!! Mahalo Beth and Blue Hawaiian.
Due to weather our trip was altered for safety. However, the entire crew were extremely professional about it and pilot Jack took great care of us. Highlight of our trip!
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters blew us away! It was our second tour with Blue Hawaiian (our first time in Maui) A very streamline process from the moment you get to the heli-port (quick and informative safety briefing). Our pilot, Toshi, was very informative and interactive. His sense of humour and encouragement for questions (always answering them) made for a very interactive and great learning experience. Aside from his knowledge and expertise of the island, Toshi gave us a smooth journey, with some amazing up close views of waterfalls and volcano vents. We felt like we were in a movie! We highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The staff is great from the moment you enter, to the moment you leave, and the helicopter tour is out of this world (thank you Toshi!) We recommend paying extra for the waterfall stop - very worth it. A must do on the Big Island.
Great ride! Very smooth and the pilot paid special attention to allowing all of us a view by turning around and lingering in the best spots. Waterfalls, craters, fissures, fault lines, beautiful!!
One of the best experiences we've had in a long time, it was amazing and we look forward to possibly doing it again in the future! Highly recommended!
We had a blast at Blue Hawaiian in Kauai. It was entertaining, fun, beautiful, and interesting. The pilot and the staff on the ground were so welcoming and nice. Any worries we had about flying a helicopter were quickly flushed away when we had a safety demonstration and saw how modern, large, and safe the helicopter was. The views were out of this world, and great for taking pictures. We saw elderly people and very young children also having a great time, and we recommend it for anyone. We will definitely be back!
Best part of our Hawaiian vacation! A must do for anyone who wants to see the beauty of Hawaii in 45 minutes. Our pilot, Julie was fantastic. Epic views!?
Fantastic flight.....want to do it again. Jason was our pilot, great flight and scenery. We were happy to make this flight.....we were not able to make the Hilo flight due to cloud cover.......wonderful flight.
A must do experience. Got to see parts of Maui and Molokai on the tour. High water falls, coastlines, and part of the resort areas.
Barret was wonderful! The tour was absolutely beautiful, and he did a wonderful job showing us around. Thank you very much!
