Our pilot Eric was great. Our flight was smooth and it was very interesting to see things that not everyone gets to see. I would definitely do it again and I will the next time I come back hopefully on another island.

Excellent flying and narration. The views were breathtaking. Certain locations, and attractions can only be viewed and appreciated from the air.

We flew with Mike, and it was an amazing trip. Mike was a good helicopter pilot, and made the trip good. Best regard from the Danish ohana Fossing

We got this tour as a gift for our wedding and had an amazing time. We would recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours for a fantastic time! And thank you to our pilot Mike who was very knowledgeable, friendly and an amazing pilot! We will never forget this amazing experience.

If you're thinking about a helicopter trip when in Hawaii. Look no further. Blue Hawaiian is your stop. Upon arrival we were met by Kawehi at check in. She was incredibly friendly and got us checked in quickly. She made us feel right at home and let us know what we could expect. She told us our pilot, Tim, was a walking encyclopedia and we should ask lots of questions. Boy was she right. We boarded our helicopter and met Tim. We loved his music from start to finnish. During the flight, Tim, answered all our questions which was so important to helping us understand some of the things we were looking at. We were a little worried about one of us getting effected by motion sickness but Tim kept the helicopter stable the whole trip and nobody even thought about it. You haven't seen Hawaii unless you see it by air!!! We will do this again on our next trip. See you guys soon. I hope.

Awesome. Took the 45 minute Blue Star trip. Smooth flying and amazing views. Chris the pilot made sure both sides saw each site.

Was looking forward to the ride since i booked the Maui vacation in February. We booked the whole island tour that would last about an hour. Today was my very first time in a helicopter and yes it was exciting... But my headphones didnt work....so apart from noise canceling sounds i heard no word of what the pilot said...so i really cant comment on his knowledge. Second thing that i could not believe was that we were only flying over land, with exception of the Ocean right off Kahului. I was hoping to see the Road to Hana from the Ocean. I was hoping to see the coastline.... I was hoping to see Kapalua, Lahaina but then from the Ocean... Nope... We only saw the inland and the areas whee you cant come to. Fair....great to see that from air...but i thought we could have flown a bit more over the Ocean and we could have seen more of shoreline. Anyway, upon return, i expressed my dissatisfaction about the headphones and got an apology along with a free DVD of the flight (25 usd value)! Still not satisfied. Maybe my hopes were just too high!

We took the Eco-Star Hana/Haleakala tour at 9:00am today and it was awesome. We had rain last night which made for dozens of beautiful waterfalls. This was my first helicopter ride and I sat behind the pilot....wonderful views. Personally, I would like more commentary from the pilot but that is just me and does not take away from giving them 5 stars.

Right from our check in we felt very taken care of. Weigh in, safety brief taken care of by Mary, then introduced to Eric our pilot, then out into the hell. Eric was great at explaining everything we were up for, as for sights, valley, and cliffs. He is a very good tour guide as well as pilot, comedic at times with his descriptions of valleys and heir names, right from the water up into the mountain. Alll in all it was worth every penny, DO IT, you won't regret it. http://www.bluehawaiian.com

I took a scenic flight over Kauai as part of a full-day excursion with NCL's "Pride of Hawaii" on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. This was a wonderful experience. The ride was smooth and we got to see so much of the island and its beautiful, rugged scenery. The pilot provided a very helpful narration and I enjoyed the themed musical backdrop as well. I purchased the souvenir video at the end -- the only thing that marred it (just slightly) is that there was some sort of dirt on the camera enclosures that I wish they'd cleaned before we took off.

I just wanted to say that my wife and I had the most wonderful experience with our helicopter tour. The staff was very professional and even though our original tour was canceled due to a problem with the AC on the helicopter, we were re-booked and upgraded for a full tour of Maui. Our pilot Tim was very knowledgeable about the island features and we had a very smooth flight. We had a very pleasant experience that we will always remember. I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. I can't wait for our next trip to the islands.

First time in Hawaii we decided to stretch the budget just enough to experience it fully. I always wanted to fly in a helicopter, and it felt like Maui is a great first place to try it. We booked our flight with Blu Hawaiian through their website. Took me some time to decide which package to go with, and I ended up picking the middle option (per our hotel's concierge's recommendation) which included the two parts of the island. The advertisement said in the fine print that the pictures are not exactly the same as the actual flight (pictures are closer etc) so I expected I'll need my binoculars to see anything. The flight was just the opposite, we got to see all the sights and waterfalls from close distance and Mike, our pilot, even made sure to make special turns to ensure that all passengers get a good view of the sights. Mike also made sure he knows all of us by name, and that he can pronounce our names correctly. He talked to us the entire flight. Asking questions, pointing relevant information etc. He made sure to know which hotels our group was from to point them out from the air when we passes by them. Towards the end of the flight, my wife got a bit motion sick and as soon as I told him, he made the needed changes to reduce her motion sickness while still keeping the rest of the group entertained from the views on our way back. Not less important, the entire flight was captured in HD using 4 cameras (1 inside and 3 outside) which was sold in full HD quality for a small extra fee on a memory card to view at home. The video included the background music we listened to through the Bose noise cancellation headphones throughout the flight as well as the internal communication channel track. The pilot switched between the cameras so that it captured the most relevant part of the flight. For example, every time he talked to any of us, he switched to the internal camera. This was an amazing experience and highly recommended if you can squeeze it into your budget.

Our helicopter ride was cancelled because of Hurricane Iselle, but the company was amazing and we were refunded immediately. Will definitely book again when we go back.

An spectacular way to explore the island - with awasome waterfalls and glowing lava - John, our pilot on the Eco-Star, did an excelent job - smoth flying while sharing all his knowlede about the island with us - great choice in music and jokes :) Money well spend

After the famous Road to Hana, we splurged and decided to take the tour of Maui with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters that was recommend to us by Ashley (Expedia). The staff was wonderful and they made us feel right at home. Rick was our pilot for our flight and we found out that he use to live about 2 miles from us. Destiny, I say. This is one of the best ways to see the Island of Maui and I will definitely do this again. The staff are the greatest and make you feel special. Thanks to everyone who helped make our first helicopter ride a great experience. Fly high Rick and be safe. That’s all there is to it! Thank you so much!
