Wow! Toured the whole island of Maui on the Ecostar. We saw so many waterfalls, the valleys that cannot be reached any other way, the crater, a small rain shower with a double rainbow, whales breaching and spouting, the beautiful coastlines. The pilot was friendly, calm, efficient, knowledgeable about the geology, zoology and history of the islands. It was so exciting I think I held my breath the entire time. Don't miss this, it's worth the money.

I wish we would have taken the tour a bit earlier during our stay as it gave a great overview of the Island and we saw a few areas that we would have liked to check out further. My wife and I did the West Maui / Molokai tour and the views were breathtaking - especially the waterfalls. The ride was super smooth (we were in an EcoStar) and no one felt queasy or uncomfortable. Our pilot was excellent (I wish I could remember his name), knowledgeable on locations and history as well as having a good sense of humor. The music that is played through the headphones is great - my wife felt that it put her at ease and made the whole trip more enjoyable. Highlight of the trip was probably watching whales and dolphins playing together. We did purchase the SD card of the trip and have already enjoyed watching it with the rest of our family.

The best tour I have ever done by air . Outstanding staff and pilot. I would highly recommend the two hour tour of the island. A bit pricey but more than well with it. Not only do you see the lava flows which we're amazing in them self, but the rain forests, waterfalls, ocean cliffs and whale's (in season). Tom our pilot was exceptional.

My family and I did the Complete Island tour with Tim as our pilot. The island is magnificent and beautiful, and having Tim as our pilot and guide made it all even better. His knowledge and expertise really took the tour to another level. We were all very excited for this tour and it totally exceeded our expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Rick is a Superb pilot! We toured the whole island of Maui. He was very knowledgeable of the island, surrounding islands, land, vegetation, whales. This helicopter tour is money well spent. This is a MUST DO on your Maui vacation! Don't miss out! Ask for Rick; he's the best!

Such a great experience on their helicopter. Spectacular views, professional staff and great trip overall.

Nicely done tour with good music and narration. Eric gave well-timed descriptions of the various sites, put the right emphasis on safety, and put all the passengers at ease with his subtle humor. I'd highly recommend this experience to all who visit Maui -- by helicopter is really the only way to see the island!

Upon the recommendation of a friend, we tried early in our trip to book a trip..because weather is always an issue. We were cancelled out on the Big Island (very dissapoitning as we wanted to see the volcanoe) but got to go in Maui. This is a "bucket list" experince NOT to be missed---well worth the expense. The eco star tours are exceptional and the pilots extremely skilled and knowledgaable about the island. Weve booked another on Kuaia and sure hope it happens as that is touted by some as the absolute best of the BHA tours

Tim was a great pilot who really knows the island, history and has a knack for conveying it all in a way that enhances the whole experience. The trip was breathtaking and is the greatest way to see the island from a whole new way.

Take the whole island tour. Our pilot took us out over the ocean and we saw about 35 whales! Great to see the diversity of terrain as you travel the length of the island.

Booked a complete tour of Maui but was unable to do the Hana and Haleakala Crater portion due to clouds and possible rain in those areas. They substituted a visit to West Maui and Molokai which was very good. The pilot's narration was excellent. But, to our dismay, the purchasable video of our trip was poor due to DVD format rather than Blue Ray or HD available on their other aircraft. I expressed my concern to a very nice manager and suggested that customers be advised ahead of the poor quality so they could choose another flight or carrier. She kindly refunded the cost of our video. A very classy operation. Great ride!

We waited to get to Maui to book our helicopter tour based on the weather forcast. Luckily, there were 2 cancellations in order for us to take the West Maui Mts and Molokai trip. Wear dark clothing - shirts and pants. If you are lucky enough to sit in the front, light colors will definitely reflect from the front of the helicopter onto your pics. Eric, an excellent pilot, trained in the military, was an informative guide and most experienced pilot!

I took my son and granddaughter on the "Maui Spectacular" tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters last week. It certainly was a spectacular experience and definitely worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also ordered the DVD's of our ride and they were in the mail when we got home. Rick was our pilot and we were so impressed with him. We especially appreciated that he would go both ways to make sure both sides of the helicopter got to see the views!

In December my husband and I took the Oahu Blue Hawaiian tour. The helicopter company picks you up at your hotel and they take you back. The staff were fantastic. So friendly. They weigh you upon arrival. Don't worry, only the staff member sees your weight. We were lucky and got to sit up front in the helicopter. Our pilot was Julie. She was fantastic. This tour was well worth the price. I would recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours to anyone visiting Hawaii.

Took the West Maui tour. Amazing. Saw lots of whales, beautiful waterfalls and breath taking views. The pilot was humorous and knowledgeable. It may seem pricey but worth every penny.
