The ride was super fun and the pilot knew a lot of information. I would recommend it to anyone and would be glad to go again. Thank you for sharing the experience Blue Hawaiian helicopters!

This tour was amazing. It showed every thing on my bucket list. This experience was great thank you.

Wow, what an experience. We were pretty last minute and they were so accommodating and fit us all in. The place is very clean, right next to the airport. The educational video in the beginning was very informative and got us set up and filled us in on what to expect, hazards, etc. the helicopter itself was pretty new and spacious for A helicopter. I was a little scared before getting in to it but once we were high enough, it was so smooth! The guide tells you all about the history of the Na Pali Coast and shared many stories. Overall, the experience was amazing. Would definitely recommend!!

My husband and I took this tour today. They pick you up from the hotel and bring you back when is over. I have to say that this is one of the best experiences I have had in my life. The views from the helicopter are absolutely breath taking. Our pilot’s name was Garner and he did and excellent job sharing information about the places we were flying over. He also kept us engaged during the whole flight. I really, fully, and truly recommend this tour as it’s good for all ages. From the drivers, to the safety instructors, the ladies at the front, the landing area crew, and the pilot, they all did an extraordinary job! ??????

We booked the Kohala Coast Adventure on about 3 hours notice and we were still given a great experience top to bottom. A shuttle arrived early to pick us up from the Fairmont Orchid. It was about a 10 minute ride to the Heliport and we had the shuttle to ourselves. Upon arriving at the heliport, we were checked in (and weighed in) and then were shown outback to a lounge area where we spent some time waiting for the rest of the passengers. They showed a quick safety video and then we boarded out plane. Our pilot was Josh and he was very informative and friendly. The music over the headsets was a nice touch. We had a full tour of the island, got in close to some water falls, and looked for whales all in about 50 minutes. Josh explained everything to us all while safely flying us about the island. The takeoff and landing were very easy and steady. I would recommend this to anybody who would listen! It certainly comes at a price, but this was a once in a lifetime experience we will never forget! PLEASE Listen to the advice they give when you book and wear dark clothes! It causes less reflection in the photos. The gentleman who was in the front seat wore a polo with bright stripes and it did reflect into many of our photos.

This was an awesome experience! Wow! The pilot was great and full of knowledge. We saw volcanos, waterfalls and all kinds of neat stuff. Helicopter rides are expensive but they are totally worth it!

This was an amazing tour with amazing service. Our pilot Lee was a great host. This is the only way to see the island.

Josh was a great guide and pilot! Very clean place, helicopter, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend :)

it is super fun to see a lot of islands and learn about the history of Maui.

The staff are very nice and they all have an Aloha spirit! The tour is amazing and very detailed, the pilots know their facts.

We had a great flight! Blue Hawaiian is a very professionally run company. As a pilot myself I was impressed with their safety program and with the skills of our pilot Hugo. The helicopter We were in was a 3.2 million dollar Airbus EC130 “Eco-Star” This is one of the nicest helicopters you can I’ve been in. The tour was incredible, included landing in a remote location mid mountain height to look down upon the sea have some Champagne and then back aboard the Helo to continue our tour. Thank you for making this trip a memorable one!

We arrived at Hilo airport, there is plenty of parking at a small price, we were greeted by the staff of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, they were very helpful and pleasant to deal with, after we did a pre-flight safety briefing we were lead to helicopter. Our pilot Sarah was wonderful, she was very informative and had a great sense of humor. Our trip was just under an hour and was worth every cent. I was very impressed with the professionalism of Blue Hawaiian Helicopter and detail to safety.

We had a choice of driving hours around Hilo and walk to the volcanic area or flying over it for about 1-2 hours, and chose the latter partially because I've already been to the volcanoes on foot years ago and we had limited time. Plus, why say no to a helicopter ride!? What you see from land and from the air is completely different so I would recommend doing both if you had the time. From the helicopter, you see not only the interesting variations in biological composition and terrain of the big island, where you see both volcanic rocks and lavish rainforests, but also the hidden crest in the mountains where the Kamehameha royalty used to live. You'll be humbled by the serenity and power of mother nature.

Best experience EVER!!!!

Everyone is so nice. Gardner was a great pilot. Will recommend and be back
