Absolutely awesome, we loved every second of it! The view was out of this world and the pilot Glenda was brilliant! A "must do" whilst in Maui.

Mike was our pilot on trip of west Maui and Molokai. Beautiful. Definitely worth the money. We had a brand new Eco Star. Ride was smooth and comfortable. Great way to see the islands!

We did the whole island tour and it was amazing. Our pilot, Justin was a great tour guide and remembered each of us by name. Great thing to do early in your vacation to learn about the island

Yes this may be more expensive than the other helicopter outfits on Maui, but I'm absolutely positive it is worth it. You feel safe and comfortable. The Eco-Stars are amazing and the on-board video cameras which record every moment of your trip is absolutely worth the extra $25 -- even though they should throw that in for free!

This was one of the more amazing things that I have ever done. It was completely amazing. In addition to the natural scenery we witnesses whales jumping from the air. It was worth every dime. And I completely loved it. And the guide was great.

Tim was a fantastic guide and pilot AWESOME experiece. We will definately recommend this adventure to others. GREAT STUFF! thanks!

My bride and I were looking for some great experiences during our Honeymoon to Maui, and immediately decided that a Helicopter tour had to be one of our adventures. We had just the week in Maui, so we definitely would not have time to see all that we wanted to see during our time there. The Hotel Concierge at the Hyatt Regency, and all our research, pointed to Blue Hawaiian as the best Helicopter tour on Maui, and we were not disappointed. Safety was their top priority, and the safety video was brief but informative. The staff was sure that we were placed securely and comfortably in the Helicopter. On our flight, the Pilot was unhappy with the first Eco-Star we were placed in. He wasn't happy with the performance of one of the components, which he later advised wouldn't have impacted our flight, but in the interest of safety made the decision to swap vehicles. We were unloaded from the Helicopter, which was promptly moved to their on-site hangar, and loaded onto a new helicopter once the pilot had thoroughly checked and tested it. While our flight was slightly delayed, the other passengers agreed with us that it was better to be safe than sorry. The company apologized for the inconvenience and even provided us with a free copy of our in-flight DVD for our troubles. The flight itself was simply amazing. The seats were comfortable, each equipped with Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones. The scenery is beautiful, as one would expect in Maui, and you get a perspective of the unique topography of the island most never get to experience. The ride itself is smooth, though there are enough turns, climbs, and descents to make it feel like an adventure. We did the Maui Spectacular, which included landing at their Ranch, which has an amazing view of the beaches with the mountains behind you. Drinks, including Champagne, soft drinks, juices, and water were served, and it was a great time to relax and get to know our pilot and fellow passengers. Each helicopter is equipped with cameras in the front, sides, and inside the cabin that records the ride, and DVDs of the trip are available for sale upon landing. If you are going to Maui, or any of the islands, I Highly recommend Blue Hawaiian. You can take in all the sights in just a few hours, and the experience is unmatched and well worth the investment.

On June 25, 2014, my husband and I had the incredibly delightful pleasure of a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour of Molakai/ Maui. It was quite easy to sign up and the representative stayed on the telephone directing us on the car ride to the heliport. Talk about concierge service! Tim Perry was an outstanding pilot and guide. I am a teacher and eagerly look forward to sharing the information I learned from his excellent narration about the topography, ecology, agriculture, and culture of Hawaii. The helicopter ride itself was quite safe and smooth so it was exciting without being frightening. An amazing sound track added to the adventure. This trip was a highlight of our vacation and I so look forward to sharing the video with my family and my students. When we return to Hawaii we will definitely book another flight and request Captain Tim. The video tour we purchased shows our big smiles throughout the flight and captures our joy at seeing the beautiful sites we would have missed had we not taken an air tour. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

We flew Blue Hawaiian a few years ago on Maui as a special occasion, and just did our second flight again this year. This will ALWAYS BE THE BEST thing you could do on Maui to see the island and the beauty that is not available to see in any other way like this. Staff is VERY friendly and accommodating, very professional business. Pilot Mike Thatcher and was the BEST!!! I would definitely NOT miss the opportunity to do this. Was WELL worth the investment. (PS: Flying over Hana beats an entire day on the ROAD to Hana, in a much faster way. This way, you can simply then drive a portion of the way to Hana to experience the Rainbow trees and a few falls/hikes, and not burn an entire day doing so).

Our pilot, Justin was awesome. Very knowledgeable and funny too! Best way to see those beautiful falls , rain forests , the breathtaking view of the oceans.

We had originally scheduled this flight for a birthday experience, but Maui weather was not on the same page with us. Storms and clouds canceled our flight, but we were re-scheduled to a day later in our vacation. The pilots are very knowledgeable and the helicopters are very new and clean. If you get motion sickness, take something ahead of time, because the helicopter definitely moves and swivels to get pictures of waterfalls and other sights. I don't usually get sick, but after an hour and a half flight, I was feeling a little nauseated. We took the Maui Spectacular which is 1.5 hours with a landing on the slope of Haleakala for some pineapple wine! Rick was our pilot and he was GREAT!

Anybody who likes helicopter rides HAS to take this Blue Hawaiian tour. Haleakala is a 10,000 foot volcanic peak on Maui. Views from the air are breathtaking. Driving to Haleakala take hours - a helicopter trip takes minutes. Hana is a rain forest on Maui's eastern coast. It is dotted with dozens of scene waterfalls that you can't access from the ground. Our wonderful pilot, Rick, skillfully maneuvered the draft so that all on board got a great view of these sights. 100% worth the $$$ and something I'll do again on Maui.

It was eight years between flights and Blue Hawaiian still provides excellent service and a great fun experience. Due to bad weather we weren't able to do the exact tour we booked, but the staff were extremely accommodating offering refund, rebooking or an alternative route. We took the alternative route and enjoyed it immensely. We did the tour with a stop off for some pineapple sparkling wine at the ranch, this was a highlight because you stop high up on the mountain and have plenty of time to soak in the views. The Eco-Star helicopter is perfect for this type of tour, everyone has a great view. A must do in Maui!

I didn't have very high expectations but I've liked the few helicopter rides I've done before. Blue Hawaiian exceeded my expectations. Everything feels new, well organized and definitely safe. Even though I was in a middle seat in the second row I could see everything. Our pilot was professional but very friendly. The sights were stunning - waterfalls, rainforest, coastline. It put Maui in great perspective. I recommend you do it early in your visit.

We took the West Maui Mountain tour and were not disappointed. My father had been slightly apprehensive after reading some reviews on trip/you tube that on the right hand side of the helicopter you have rubbish views. My husband and I were sat in the back on the right and I assure you we had excellent views. This was not an issue at all. It is really really beautiful. Our Pilot, Ryan made sure to turn so everyone got to see everything. He narrated and explained what we were seeing really well and let us know when we would hit air bumps to reassure the more nervous fliers in our Helicopter. The whole process felt really safe, from the moment we stepped in and watched our safety briefing to the diligence they take in arranging seating plans, and checking the helicopters. Overall a must do, I'm so glad we did this tour it was well worth the money. We also bought a DVD of our trip so we can relive it at home.
