We took the Maui Spectacular with Noah on 11 April 2014. The weather was exceptional and so was the experience. My wife and I took our six year old and he was absolutely thrilled about the entire experience. We had to reschedule our original flight due to weather and I would recommend anyone planning on this trip to book it early in your vacation so you have a chance to rebook if necessary and if possible on their end. I know some people expect a thrill ride or maybe something like Airwolf, but as a tour to look at mountains and waterfalls it was wonderful. To see the summit of Haleakala from the cloud bank a few miles away, but at the same level was breathtaking. So was the ride along the coast where the reefs were clearly visible along with cliff waterfalls. Overall our family of three had a wonderful experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that asks.
Absolutely amazing scenery and a friendly and knowledgeable pilot! Rick was wonderful! We had a couple of nervous members in our party and Rick was great at reassuring them. Thanks heaps Rick!
This is a very professional company. From your welcome at the door, to the information video and professional staff, it is first class. They operate Eco-Star, state of the art helicopters. In 45 minutes, they take you on a scenic tour of the island over the varied terrain and hovering right beside gorgeous waterfalls. A "can't miss" attraction.
Our first time in a helicopter and it was an absolutely amazing trip. Enjoyed it with our friends which also made it such a memorable experience. Thank you so much! Taking our memories back to a much colder climate!
Our Pilot, Belinda, was amazing as she took on us on the Maui Spectacular tour with the EcoStar chopper. Worth the extra $ to take the EcoStar. Did our trip the day after we arrived which then helped with giving a overview of the island, some history and also helped us afterwards chose what we wanted to focus on for the rest of our trip. EcoStar helps those with centre back seats still have a great view. Belinda made sure she turned around so everyone got good views of craters and waterfalls etc. highly recommend.
My wife and I booked the trip around Maui for April 25. From start to finish it was an amazing, unforgettable experience. Our pilot, Capt Rick, showed us some unbelievable sights and shared some very interesting facts about the islands. Not to mention he had a great playlist for the trip, with just the right song for each part of the trip. He even offered to take a picture of us in front of the bird after we landed. At the end of the trip we bought the video on a scandisk and showed it to the rest of the family when we returned. The company was very professional and safety conscious. If you do anything on Maui, at least book a trip on Blue Hawaiian - you will not regret it.
This was a great tour. Approximately 45 minutes. Our flight path was changed due to cloudy weather. We toured the west side of Maui to Molokai and the views were spectacular. The price is expensive but it was worth it. I would recommend the tour to everyone. It was a great experience.
They cancelled our flight over the volcano because of inclemete weather. However they offered us a 50 minute flight over the falls,which was good but we had hoped for a clear day for our original flight.
The views were amazing and the information provided by Rick (the great pilot/guide!) was so important to understand the history of Maui and Hawaii in general. The girls at the front desk and all the other employees were so helpfull during the whole experience. They even thought me how to tell my wife "I Love You" in Hawaiian "Aloha wau ia oe!". We will tour with Blue Hawaiian again! Thanks so much!
We took a 60 minute tour of Maui and it was amazing. Initially we were very skeptical due to the price and my wife is not a big fan of flying. We decided to go for it as a "once in a lifetime" experience and we were not disappointed. We booked a flight for first thing in the morning (8:00 am) were very fortunate that the weather was perfect - no fog and no winds. The helicopter ride was smooth and the pilot was very knowledgeable about everything Maui. The flight and view of Maui were spectacular and I would highly recommend this to everyone. I have traveled all over the world and this is definitely in my Top 5 list of things that I enjoyed.
My wife and I did the West Maui/Molokai tour and it was pretty good overall. Some nice views of the waterfalls on Molokai and great views of the mountains and the coast. The weather wasn't great but there were still nice views. Our Pilot was Glenda the good witch. She was great overall and pretty knowledgeable about everything around. The staff before the flight were pretty knowledgeable and friendly as well. The only reason that I gave this 3 stars was because of the price. At over $500 for the two of us, it didn't feel like it was really worth it. There are fun and memorable activities on Maui that last a lot longer and cost a lot less.
We have use Blue Hawaii before on other islands and found the Maui tour to be just as great. We chose the tour with a ranch stop and Champagne toast which was spectacular. Our pilot was extraordinary at describing the sights we we seeing. We had excellent weather and were able to really appreciate the Maui terrain. A must do tour.
Great time. No complaints here. Definitely a different perspective of the island. I've been to Maui 3 times and this has been the best adventure yet. My father in law bought the in flight video, which is just ok. The quality could be better. I think it's the salt air hazing up the camera lens. He thinks it's just poor quality. Whether you buy one or not, watch what you say because it's all recorded and put on the video, forever.
This was our first visit to Hawaii and there is so much to see and do. We thought this would be a great way to see areas we couldn't get to by car or by foot. We were not disappointed! Fantastic, unforgettable views. Tim, our pilot, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna. Well worth the money!
Big Bucks, but worth every penny! We spent more for the Hilo flight for 2 than the roundtrip airfare from Washington State. I would highly recommend the Maui spectacular -eco it was $770 total for 2 and the best part was landing and enjoying a bottle of champagne with amazing views of Wailea. Take offs and landings to me are the best part so thats why i recommend this flight. It is a bit more but its worth it for all the extras. You feel total safe with the pro's at Blue Hawaiian. The weather was going to be poor on the day that we booked so they gladly let us reschedule for the next day. Your Maui vacation will be memorable no matter what but make it amazing and see Hawaii the easy way. Great way to whale watch as well, we saw many
