My husband and I did the Hana/Haleakala tour. It was fun, and super cool to see from the sky, but we would not recommend to others UNLESS you are not going to do the road to hana or go up to the top of haleakala. We did both and the helicopter tour. We just really did not see anything too different from the air than we saw from the ground, so it seemed to us like too much money for a 45 minute helicopter tour.

Noise canceling headphones, friendly pilot?..I felt safe even though I do not like heights

We opted for a better helicopter - the Ecostar - more legroom and better vision. Noise-cancelling headphones and a great pilot (Vince). Mornings are clearer.

We have always wanted to take a helicopter ride and when we decided to go to Hawaii, we saved and saved so our family of 4 could take one. I researched all of the helicopter companies and Blue Hawaiian consistently came out on top. We chose the Eco-star helicopter which costs a bit more, but is newer and really well designed to take in the view. We took this tour our first full day in Maui, and it gave us a great overview of some of the sights we would see during our stay. We opted for the Maui Spectacular, a 1 1/2 hour tour of the island of Maui. It covers the whole islands - we got a great view of Hana, took a peek at Haleakala crater and more. One of the best parts of this tour though, is that we got to land at a Ulupalakua Ranch on the side of Haleakala. We got out, and while we were admiring the view, our wonderful pilot Anna served champagne to the adults and punch to the kids. It was amazing and a great way to start our trip.

My Parents and my son had flown with Blue Hawaiian two years ago when they visited the big Island and they couldn't say enough about how great a trip it was. My wife and I just recently visited the Big Island and Oahu for our 20 year anniversary. We visited Volcano National Park and then took a helicopter ride over the same places with Blue Hawaiian. The ride was out of this world spectacular with views of the volcanos, coastlines, waterfalls and valleys. Noah our pilot gave us a superb ride! All throughout the ride he recieted facts about history of the island, it's geography, as well as having good conversation with everyone, all while piloting the helicopter safely. Noah turned the helicopter so you could view, take pictures, and video out of both sides clearly. Considering some of the air currents the ride was very smooth and the sun was out which gave us plenty of visibility. It was amazing all the different climates there are on the Big Island and we had a blast! I would fly with these guys again, especially with Noah ! The staff are all nice people and made the experience a pleasant one. The operation is professional and safe and well worth the cost of the ride. Consider them if you are ever on the Big island.

We wanted to see lava and just happened to drive by this impressive fleet of helicopters. It sounded like a great experience and well you only live once right? The staff planned out a morning drive for us - a short hike - directing us north to find scenery and Mother's day brunch. Shane was our pilot. He has a keen eye for lava - dolphins - and created an incredible adventure. This was our first helicopter experience - I can't wait to try this again. I can't imagine better service or scenery. There was one passenger who became nauseous, but continued on and felt better during the second half of the trip. She stated she had never had motion sickness before, but she had never been in a helicopter before either.

Family of five took the Maui Spectacular tour with Blue Hawaiian. Our pilot was Glinda. Great tour of the entire Island. The waterfalls around Hana and the Haleakala crater were really cool to see from the air. Kids rated this as their favorite activity of the trip!

We were afraid with my wife because of the high cost and the fact that we were travelling with our 8 months old child. The fact is that the trip is great, Rodger was a great and knowledgeable pilot and guide and the view of the volcanoes from the sky is spectacular. Our highest point of the vacations.

You will get to see things that you can't possibly see from land. The craters and the waterfalls. We could even see manta rays in the crystal clear water near one of the beaches. Beautiful! I definitely recommend the Eco-star helicopter (it's roomier and has bigger windows that the A-star). Also, the best tour to take is the West Maui and Moloka'i tour.

Julie was an amazing pilot. Very calming voice. Great trip around the island. The Arizona was fabulous to fly over too. Thanks for your professionalism and also the DVD was a great idea! x

This was a fabulous attraction. I felt safe and in good hands as my sons and I saw the beauty surrounding the West Side Of Maui and Molokai. It was worth every penny spent. Eric was our helicoptor pilot. He was incredibly knowledgeable of everything we saw and so very nice.

I was quite honestly terrified to take this helicopter ride, but determined that my family would not go without me. Our pilot Tim was awesome - I told him I was scared and he was very solicitous of me, making sure he explained everything that was going to happen - it was very smooth - we were on the Hana Haleakala trip which was beautiful and an overview of the whole island. I was impressed by their attention to safety ahead of time and their wall of awards in this regard as well. It was a very windy day but the ride was still very smooth so don't be alarmed if it's windy on your chosen day.

Blue Hawaiian in Kauai was a trip of a lifetime. It was horrendous weather which did not dampen our spirits and the sights we saw were incredible, I cried! The pilot was cool, laid back, Hawaiian born and bred and answered all my many questions! It's the only way to see the entire island in all it's glory! It was a bargain at $183 and I would do it again in a second!

If you want to see any of the Hawaiian islands in a different way this is the way to go. Yes it is very expensive but if you paid all that money to go to Hawaii save up some more to do this!! Beautiful views and the Island of kauai has a great tour also has some 75% of that island is inaccessible and very remote!

Great flight, awesome views, and the ride was fantastic. Blue Hawaiian seems professionally run and they know how to take care of the tourists. Would recommend this flight for anyone.
