Our family really enjoyed our helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian. The views we saw were unbelievable and Anna our pilot shared some interesting facts about Maui that made the trip even more enjoyable. We felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip and would highly recommend Blue Hawaiian!

Breathtaking, Amazing, Incredible !!! A must see when in Maui !!! Emery was the cherry on top !!! Awesome !!!

This was my first trip to Maui and my honeymoon. Being my honeymoon I wanted to splurge ($600+ for a hour) on a big event and after reading reviews after reviews blue Hawaiian was the way to go. We selected the complete island tour on the eco helicopter. First I want to say the only way to see some of the sights was in a helicopter. The tour guide Emery was friendly and gave out some good information. The complete island tour goes in a counter clockwise direction. To give you an idea of the seating, if you are on the left side of the copter you are looking out towards the island and if you are on the right side you see the coast line. They place you on the helicopter based on your party size and weight for balance of the aircraft. The front seats are the best, because you can see everything all the time. The pilot did turn the helicopter to see some of the waterfalls but the majority of the time sitting in the back row on the right side you feel like you got the short side of the stick. The ability to take pics and really take in the experience is more challenging from those seats. I would recommend this experience to someone if they had a guarantee for the left side or front seat. The money is worth it but from the back right seats, I felt like I overpaid by a long fold. Please really put some thought in to this decision. Thanks

Well I was so scared so we stopped at the flatbread pizza place before so I could have a glass of wine! Thank goodness! Cute town. The staff at the heliport were all so very nice. Glenda was our pilot. She is great. She made me safe with her confidence! My husband loves his new hat! The only thing I have to say negative... They should not be charging for parking with such expensive prices. But who cares at this rate.

I had ridden over Maui in chopper back in the 90's with ex- wife. this time my 70 year old mother and 57 year old girlfriend were with me. Girlfriend is TERRIFIED of heights. I signed her up, told her it was paid for, no refunds, so If she didn't go - wasted money. ( had to lie a little). Boy were they both amazed that the flight was better than in an airplane. Our pilot was a white haired ex-vietnam pilot. He was awesome. Answered our detailed questions, since my mom and I had been to Maui several times before. As we flew over Haleakala crater, the pilot waited a little while so my girlfriend's ears could stabilize. My mom and girlfriend were really impressed with the beauty that they forgot they were in a helicopter. It was smooth and enjoyable. We landed in Hana, and jumped in a custom leather van. We ate a catered lunch at a public beach park pavilion. Had a tour of Hana, ( we didn't get out), went to a floral farm. The ladies were awestruck by the orchids, torch gingers, crabclaws, and the lipstick gingers. The tour driver, wayne, took us to pond. I swam across the cold spring water to the waterfall. He also took us to a black sand beach most tourists miss on their drive to Hana. I had driven to Hana before, and this was the way to do it. Someone else driving who knows where to go. Also, everyone in our party was able to see everything since no of us were driving. Wayne would also point out indigeniuos species of plants and invasive plants along the way. we booked it through pleasant hawaiian holidays. The only reason I gave it 4 and NOT a 5 is the vcr broke on the helicopter, and we were not able to purchase the video of our flight with our personal questions, and comments that we made during the flight.

These guys are the real deal we took the Maliki west Maui trip it was breathtaking. Tim was are pilot he did an outstanding job it was my wife and I first time on a helicopter and he made us feel very safe. He was very knollagable and professional. The girl that checked us in and the ground crew were great as well. Definitely purchase the DVD at the end it's well worth the $25 to have your flight forever and to be able to share it with friends and family.

From New York, Stayed At Westin Hotel Resorts, Booked The Tour Months In Advance...Glenda was our Pilot,Helicopters were Better, modern,Awesome, Best Part of Whole Vacation! Thanks Glenda Your An Awesome Pilot and tour guide! My wife And Daughter Skye Agree it was GREAT! Highly Recommended!

This was an amazing experience. Tim was our pilot and he is so knowledgeable and made the trip so much more than I could have expected. I would highly recommend this trip and this company!

Where do I start? hubby and I were first timers in HI and were celebrating our 30th anniversary. We wanted to do a dream list filled with activities but in 7 days you can only do so much. One of our dreams was to take a helicopter ride and we chose Blue Hawaiian. We were warmly greeted from the van ride to the airport then further well received by the friendly staff. After a few administrative proceedures, a short video on safety guidelines and what to expect, weight and seating assignmrnts we were lead out to our helicopter. Johnathan was our pilot who gave us a ride to cherish forever! Johnathan called each of us by name, was highly interactive ( there were four in our group) I love it that Johnathan provided equal opportunity views. I was like a kid at her own birthday party... All grins! I highly reccomend this company for great time to remember.

My wife had never been in a helicopter before and was quite nervous. I thought Blue Hawaiian would be the best choice based on other reviews. All I can say it that we weren't disappointed. From the initial safety briefing I knew we'd likely be separated within the helicopter based on our different sizes, which would only make my wife more nervous. But she got to sit next to the pilot, a wonderful woman with lots of flight time. We did the Hana & Haleakula tour. From takeoff to landing the trip was incredibly smooth. The views were spectacularand the pilot provided a wonderful commentary of the history of Maui, the geography and some of the famous residents. My wife was very pleased with her first trip and said she'd go again when we got to Kauai.

We did the full day tour where you fly to Hana and the take the van back. I am straight up a chicken when it comes to helicopters and I researched all companies and ths one seemed the safest. I was kind of forced by my family to go on this and it was scary but everything was beautiful and the van driver was great.

We did the hana/crater tour. About 40-50 mns as advertised. Our pilot (Glenda if I remenber well) was great and added loads of valuable comments during our tour. The kids (4 and 6 yo) loved it. I recommend the cheaper version (a-star as opposed to eco star) as the experience is ultimately very similar. Low point was that i forgot my red arnette sunglasses in the aircraft and 30 mns later they were already gone..... So don't take valuable items with you...

Great helicopter ride. The waterfall views near Hana were amazing to see and can't be seen from the ground or hiking. Our pilot, Anna, was very knowledgable and gave us ideas for the rest of our trip as well.

If you go to Maui, the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter ride should be the first thing on your list to enjoy. It was our 30th anniversary, and it was such a memorable experience, we will never forget it. Emery, our pilot, was very witty and the music he played totally fit the ride. We will definitely go again when we come back for another visit. The office is super clean and stocked with great souvenirs of the trip. I purchased a poster that I recently had mounted for $2. You can't beat that! If you're not sure if you want to go or not, take it from me....you won't regret it and you will remember it the rest of your life!

This was a great experience and I recommend that everyone try it if they can afford it at least once! Blue Hawaiian was great from beginning to end. I am a big girl and they were the only ones in the island who charged 1 1/2 price for me everyone else charges you for two seats. We had Brandon as our pilot and he was great! Very nice voice and super informative. He made the hour we spent very enjoyable.
