We did the 60-minute full tour of Maui yesterday and it was fabulous. This was my first helicopter ride and I found the whole experience exciting. Chris, our pilot, gave wonderful narration as he flew over the island. The flight was breathtaking. We took the new EcoStar which was pricey but worth every penny. I highly recommend this trip.

The staff at Blue Hawaiian Maui were so friendly and Emery, our pilot, was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Will definitely book our tour of the Big Island with you! Mahalo!

Aaaa mazing spectacular views of the islands really close up to water falls etc. Highly recommended - don't miss it! 10/10 to Tim our pilot who gave a really interesting commentary through out the flight.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was recommended by our tour book and they delivered! It is a first-rate company with state of the art helicopters and excellent pilots. From the check-in to safety video to airport transport and actual tour, they know what they're doing. Our pilot Geoff grew up on Kauai and had some great information to share. As a pilot, he was top notch...even warned us when were going to feel a bump! Views from helicopter were excellent and he made sure to approach from both sides so everyone could see the full view. Be sure to follow direction about clothing - stop at Wal-Mart for a black or dark grey t-shirt so you won't have reflections in your pics...

If you are looking for a helicopter ride to see the whole island, it was a wonderful trip. They have beautiful, well maintained copters and they are very safety conscious. The pilot, Jeoffrey, was a calming influence if you are at all nervous and also informative. It was so spectacular and my suggestion is buy the video and enjoy the ride. I spent too much time trying to take photos and videos and I should have just sat back and enjoyed the experience. Free parking in shopping mall parking lot for anyone taking the trip and entire staff polite and friendly. Another fabulous option if you are nervous about a helicopter ride is NaPali Experience,LLC. A 24' speedboat takes you on a fabulous trip along the NaPali Coast with 7 or less passengers with optional snorkeling, snacks and a fabulous captain. We had Drew and he was a great guy who knew all about the island and gave us much more than we expected. Do not miss this trip, you'll feel like you're out on a friend's private boat and when you exit the breathtaking caves and see all the people on the larger sightseeing boats gazing at you coming out of the caves and wishing they were on your boat, you know you made the right choice. Enjoy Kauai, it is a magnificent palette of endless color and beauty.

We really enjoyed our helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian. Our pilot had a great sense of humor and was full of interesting information about the island and history!

I have been on several helicopter rides in other vacation locations, and I have to say, that Blue Hawaiian was the most professional and well run helicopter company I have ever toured with. Emery was our pilot. He was fantastic. We simply had a blast with him. He knew the entire area and answered all of our questions. This business has a whole process from when you walk in the door to when you get on the helicopter. They definitely put safety first. Its a huge plus that they have a nice waiting area and clean bathrooms. Trust me, some of the helicopter places I have been to have been in po-dunk locations with outhouses. Ew. We did the Hana/Halaeakala tour. I highly recommend it. Don't waste your time in a car driving to Hana. Just fly over it and call it good. This is an investment experience. And for us, it was worth every penny.

Flew twice out of Maui two weeks ago and both fights were exceptional. No cowboy maneuvers in order to impress yet saw beautiful bluffs, waterfalls, and vistas one cannot see any other way. First pilot was Tim who took us to Lanai and gave pertinent information to learn yet didn't talk the whole time. Second flight to the crater and Hana was less informative but the views were spectacular. Second flight DVD did not record, an ongoing problem according to the crew. For the money charged this should be fixed.

I am a handicapped traveler so I'm always a little nervous about trying things like getting in a helicopter ride. No need to worry. They ask all the right questions when making reservations. They expected me and were ready. They never made me feel like I was a bother. I was helped on to the helicopter with a wheelchair lift. Now for the ride. Wonderful! Our pilots name was Jeremy and he was terrific. His commentary was very interesting and I learned very much about the island of Hawaii and the volcanoes. If you are trying to decide if you should go - DO!

Did the Maui Spectacular tour in March. The views were amazing! Since we did not have time to travel to the east side of the island, this was a great way to see it. The contrast between the wet side and the dry side of the island was very interesting, as well as the views of Haleakala. The pilot was a great tour guide, alternating between facts about the island and amusing stories about the island and people. A great experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Maui.

We were a little hesitatnt to spring for the trip but were so glad we did--the BEST excursion we did during our stay in Maui. Our pilot was so informational and knowledgeable about the islands that I bought the DVD of our flight just so I could hear his info he shared again! Beautiful views, ease of scheduloing, very professional place. Would highly recommend it.

We took a helicopter tour in mid May, 2013, and it was fantastic. I tend to get motion sick, but this ride was very smooth. I sat in the front and had a wonderful view. My husband sat in the back and got some fantastic photos. Even though we were past "whale season", our pilot actually found a mom and baby! He took several 360 turns around them so that all of us were able to see the whales breaking the surface. Yes, we have photos to prove it! This is a professional operation in every way. We had booked a tour that would take us over to Hana and Haleakal, but the weather wasn't cooperating. We were offered 3 choices, the tour of West Maui and Molokai, reschedule the Hana/Haleakala tour, or a full refund! Opted for the West Maui and Molokai tour and were not disappointed! Well worth the time and money. You are able to purchase a DVD of your tour, which includes all the pilot's comments, as well as whatever the passengers have said.

We did the full island in 60 minutes, it was a little expensive but it was worth every penny. We got lucky with the weather it was mid May, sunny and beautiful. The pilot was very friendly, professional and made sure that we all had good views from different sides of the helicopter. Make sure you take your time to get to the heliport, it's close to the airport but a little confusing since we couldn't find it on the GPS.

Plenty of room in the Eco star Comfortable ride. We had a great driver who was very knowledgable about Maui. We learned a lot about the island. It was a great way to see the island. There were areas you would never have seen otherwise Maui is very diverse. There were so many beautiful areas. It was a great way to see the island

We have been to Hawaii many times and finally got around to the helicopters, should have done it years ago. Blue Hawaiian were terrific and it was certainly worth the cost( every penny of it). The flight around Kauai was beautiful ( and so was the one in Maui and over to Molokai). The pilots were very knowledgeable and friendly. The views were fantastic and went for about 55 minutes in the air. If the weather is no good they will either reschedule you or refund the cost in full. The cheapest way to book in on the net and you can be confident with your booking. They give you a call at your hotel the day before to check that all is OK for the next day. Do It!
