Amazing! Even with the flight restrictions due to the volcano eruption, our pilot, Josh, did an excellent job of getting us as close as safely possible for gorgeous photos of this beautiful land.
Christopher did a great job on the tour. Kept it interesting and informative. Turned the chopper around to check out interesting sites and the house we are renting. Helicopters were nice and well taken care of with a cool soundtrack. Well worth the money.
Great trip, seen fissure 8 first hand instead of on the news. Pretty impressive. Thanks to Josh we could see this despite the clouds building up.
It was so much fun! Thank you!
Best tour anyone can ever go on!!!!!!! Totally recommend for anyone! If you are visiting Hawaii, you definitely need to go on a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour!
Awesome! Thanks Spencer for a great and informative flight. A truly memorable day on our honeymoon.
We all loved the tour with Mark. The dips into the canyons were amazing. We learned lots and could ask questions as we went. The children were fascinated
What a highlight of our honeymoon! Marty was so well-knowledgeable and provided a happy, calm atmosphere for such an enjoyable ride. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Kathleen (Coye) and Ryan Christensen
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter has surpassed all expectations and fulfilled a dream for a little boy who wish in life was to see lava. Thank you for the entire staff for the fulfillment of this wish. Hendrickson Family.
Pros -See large portion of island that you would not normally see (70% inland inaccessible by vehicle). -professional. Our pilot was Brody. Great job. Shared many cultural aspects. -video of flight ($) Cons -guests who do not wear dark clothes...totally spoils pictures!
Once we got to the airport, Blue Hawaii took the time to make sure we knew where to go and how to put on our flotation device. Our pilot's name was Wesley and he took the time to get to know each and everyone in the helicopter. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th Anniversary and we couldn't think of celebrating it any other way. Wesley took us over waterfalls and the Mauna Laua Macadamia nut farm and then proceeded to take us to Kilauea volcano. Wesley did an excellent job showing us all the scenery (He even flew over our cruise ship). Again as I stated earlier, this was our 25th Anniversary and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters made our day a day to remember.
We booked a helicopter tour to see the eruption at fissure 8 since most of Volcano National park remains closed. We had a wonderful ride with our pilot Esther. She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a smooth ride even though the weather was raining and breezy. This was my one must do activity for the island and it was a knockout.
We came to Hawaii to see a volcano, and see it we did. Forget the lava boats - this is the way to do it. We had about 40 minutes over the lava flow, with our pilot, Adi (great job!) giving us all plenty of time to view the scene and take numerous photos. The Ecostar is an amazing helicopter, very comfortable, with views from all seats and quiet. The noise-cancelling headsets are an excellent feature and helped with the commentary. I sat in one of the seats in the middle (one seat away from the window) but had absolutely no difficulty with the view and taking photos. Wear dark clothing to reduce reflections from the windows. We booked on line a month or so out, and that was an easy process. Checking in was relatively easy although there were a few occasions where we thought the information on the process could have been clearer. The loading and take-off process was very efficient with 4 heli's leaving at the same time. All in all, well worth the money.
Great indeed. View from the top was awesome. Well experienced pilot and we felt very safe. Highly recommendable.
We have travelled from Dubai and wanted to experience another part of USA. Hawaii, Maui being so far away we decided we had to experience as much as we could in our week here. What an amazing experience BLUE SKY HELICOPTERS - great machine and an awesome pilot who took his job seriously but also was informative and personable and friendly, all made it absolutely worth the money. The champagne stop along the way made the experience even more memorable.
