My wife and I signed up for a round trip tour on the helicopter on Maui. Before we left we were given instructions on what to do in case we landed in the water. We were not given any instructions in case we had to make an emergency landing on land which is what happened after the helicopter lost power and was manually put down in a sugar cane field. Seconds earlier we were over water. We were rescued by emergency personnel who cut their way through the sugar cane field and turned up on the front page of the Maui. We were told that the last people on the helicopter crashed and didn't make it. You need to beware before taking a trip on a helicopter.

We spent two weeks on three of the islands and this was the best thing we did. We are still talking obout it,suggest you go in the mornings where there is less clouds and wind.The captain and the music played in your head phones make it an experience you will not forget

Very professionally run. A beautiful 60 min trip, educational and fun

Absolutely amazing. Lifting off was surreal and the swooping around was quite the ride. Likening it to a long roller coaster, it was fantastic and very memorable! Most definitely worth it.

The Most fun I had during my 1-week Vacation - I am Highly recommending this tour to everyone - Mahalo !!!!!

This is not cheap but it is such a special memory and a fantastic way to see Maui. We had a great pilot and he flew us all over the island in a "State-Of-The-Art EcoStar helicopter". I had never flown in a helicopter before but instantly felt safe in this one. We decided not to drive the "road to Hana" as it didn't sound like a good idea with a teenager who gets car sick, so this was a great alternative and we didn't feel we missed out on anything.

A friend and I went on the helicopter tour of Kauai on Feb 8th. The pilot was very informative and the sights were outstanding. The Na Poili Coast was gorgeous. I would love to go again hopefully when the weather is clear, even though the weather was not perfect it was well worth the price.

This flight was definately the highpoint of our trip to Maui. Eric our pilot was fantastic!He was entertaining, informative, and the flight was incredibly smooth. The water coming off of Molokai was one of the most spectacular things I've seen! We saw about 8 whales, most were breeching. Thank you Eric and Blue Hawaiian!! Jim and Angel Ramser

We had a terrific time with this tour. From the moment we checked in to the time we left, it was awesome. The folks greeting us were exceptional and extremely friendly, taking good care of us. We participated in the Maui Spectacular tour and our pilot, Anna, was very knowledgeable with great flying ability. This was a very nice start to our vacation and will remember this for quite some time. Thank you so much.

One of the activities that made our latest Christmas vacation outstanding was a helicopter tour that we took with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Our family had been to Maui several times, and had participated in many activities. We have two teenagers that were in need of a new type of adventure, and this ride provided it and more. We saw Molokai waterfalls, sea cliffs, and lush green mountains, just to name a few majestic sights. The staff was very informative and the safety briefing provided the safety assurance that my wife required. Special thanks to the Kelly at Wailea Beach Villas for recommending this company. It was truly a priceless experience!!

During a Maui vacation I came by the Kahului heliport and spontaneously decided to check on the possibility of a last minute helicopter ride. So I walked into Blue Hawaiian's office shortly after 9.30am that morning and found myself in the air flying over Maui and Molokai at 10.00am. All of the staff was extremely friendly, the entire process including the safety briefing was professional and luck stroke twice as not only did I get a substantial discount, I was also given a copy of the flight movie DVD free of charge as there happened to be a few blue screens (just a few seconds really) on the recording. That's more than fair and one cannot ask for more. The flight itself was gorgeous, owing not only to the fabulous Hawaiian landscape, but also to the excellent guidance (and aviation skills) of our pilot. The helicopter as such was in excellent condition and clean. For single riders with a bit of flexibility I can only recommend to just walk in and check for a last minute flight option. There were a number of flights leaving that morning, so chances are that they will have an open seat available without any long waiting time.

A nice ride with great views however they could do a bit more to make it a top notch activity. The ear phones they provide are only connected to the pilot so you can't communicate with your partner...... Which definitely would make the experience much more enjoyable and memorable. Plus, it is very hard to even hear the pilot clearly and it would be nice if they only took 4 passengers instead of 6, but the views are wonderful and the pilot is informative...... What you can hear.

Took the one hour tour with my wife, always wanted to do a helicopter ride but being on the large side of life never had the chance. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters made it posible for me to make my dream come true. ( for a small additional charge ) Our pilot was friendly and very informative about the island, took us to the Haleakala crater, town of Hana, the rain forest, and Lahaina area... Also gave us great information on things to do while in the area. Best thing I've done in Hawaii. One of our best memories, we bought the video and took great pictures of Maui's waterfalls...

The helicopter ride was fun, but I wouldn’t do it again. It really is SO expensive for 45 minutes. A good chunk of the time was spent crossing the ocean and back to see Molokai. The waterfalls were beautiful and it was good to ride in a helicopter once. When we landed we were told that the audio wasn’t working on our trip so we couldn’t purchase the DVD ($50) even if we wanted to. I think this was actually a good thing so we weren’t even tempted to spend more money. I in no way would have purchased that DVD but others in our group might have wanted to. When they tell you to wear dark clothes they mean it. They should actually tell you to ONLY wear a plain black shirt if you don’t want reflections from the glass in your pictures. I had thin white flip flops on and I could even see them in the glass reflection, so I kept my feet tucked as far under the seat as possible.

Four of us took the one-hour Maui trip on the new eco-star helicopters. Amazing sights, great pilot (Anna) who provided a superb commentary along with excellent flying skills to maximize the view for people on both sides of the copter; very comfortable seats; excellent sound system. great views in all directions. The safety procedures are very thorough, and none but the check-in staff member knows your weight when measured for plane balancing! If you are able to afford the cost, this is the best way to start your stay on Maui.
