We had a group of 12 split between 2 helicopters and all had a wonderful experience. We did the tour over Molokai and Maui and it was fun to see Molokai - so much untouched, pristine land. Our pilot was great and very informative. He answered all of our questions! Definitely worth the money if you have never done a helicopter tour here before. Years ago I used a different company and both were good, but Blue Hawaiian has a very impressive fleet of helicopters!

This was truly a once in a lifetime experience! We toured the big island of Hawaii with our pilot Jason who was an amazing tour guide for this trip. The ride took us between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa from Waikola to the Volcano Park. There we saw the caldera full of molten lava, scientists working in the East Rift zone and the lava flowing towards Hilo through the forest. Keep your expectations of lava in check! The amazing photos you see of lava spewing forth only occur during an eruption. However, what you will see is lava pockets and lakes. Hawaii does not have violent explosions - they call them gentle giants for a reason! From there we flew over Hilo to the rainy side of the island and viewed the amazing 2000 ft tall waterfalls on the north end of the island. Overall an amazing experience with a fun, well trained pilot! Do it if you're on the edge about it! best $350 I've ever spent!!!

What a fantastic way to see Maui and Molokai....I was so nervous so didnt catch our pilots name(he was from Austria) was very interesting listening to everything he was saying about the areas we were flying over.....highly recommend a helicopter ride with these guys very professional and friendly staff.....hope we get a chance to come back again oneday thank you....

Did the west Maui nad Molokai tour. We have done this twice once in the Winter and in the Summer. The Winter is better when the whales are to be seen, however, the scenic beauty as you travel over the various landscapes are spectacular. On this trip if you are on the right side of the copter be sure to ask the pilot to turn so the ocean isn't the majority of what you see

Having been to Hawaii several times, I've heard from may people how great helicopter tours were. I was always a skeptic as my days in the military did not leave me with a high opinion of helicopters. But, I finally let curiosity get the best of me and booked the West Maui and Molokai trip for my birthday. All I can say it, why did I wait so long! The check in was easy and the safety video, easy to follow. We were escorted out to our waiting helo pretty quickly. Seating is done by weight and balance so you don't get to pick your seat. They tell you where to sit. We booked the Eco Star and I would definitely recommend this upgrade. The seating is in bucket seats, the windows are much larger, and the back seats are elevated. This makes for great views wherever you sit. I was directly behind the pilot and could easily look out the front windshield and right side windows as well as the huge windows on my side. Our pilot was very sure and steady. He gave great commentary and was fun to talk to. I was surprised how close we got to the valley walls and waterfalls. Absolutely breathtaking! I've never been on the ground in Molokai but after seeing it from this perspective I don't think I'd want to. It would be a let down after what we saw. This tour really showed us the inaccessible but beautiful valleys that make up the island as well as some great places in West Maui. It was fun to pick out our condo on Ka'anapali as we returned to Maui. Then we made a quick dip into the west Maui mountains and popped out on the other side just above the golf course. I can't say enough good things about the tour and Blue Hawaiian. Well organized, professional and worth every penny. I will definitely do another trip with them on whatever island we visit next.

We did the "Maui and Molokai" tour. Tehcnically: Expected duration "45 to 50" minutes. Our flight last 49 minutes Landscapes and waterfall were awesome and with saw much more than only driving or hiking. Nevertheless, dont expect any aeronotic thrill. It was like being seated in the living room watching tv. Great views but no thrill. Still wondering if it was worth the money.

The service was great we watched a safety video and then we went outside and went up in the air. The dip was scary to me other then that I did ok I got a lot of great pictures.

Great experience on this beautiful adventure. Our pilot Justin was very informative and interacted will all on board. Evangeline

We were blessed with a beautiful day, and Rick made the most of it! Awesome, informative and beautiful trip. Thankyou Rick and Blue Hawaiian!

The helicopter ride was very comfortable and felt perfectly safe. The guide was ok; he was clearly a bit bored with piloting the tourist routes and said as much. However, he capable narrated the sights and was happy to take pictures of us and the other couple on our flight when we landed for pineapple champagne (provided). It's a wonderful way to get an overview of the island.

A good experience, seeing things that you only see by air. Good commentary by the pilot. For the photographers amongst you, take a polarising filter. I didn't, and most of my photos have reflections on them.

Our pilot was so interesting. We certainly saw and learned things we would not have otherwise been privy to. My 9 yr old son struggled with ear pain from the elevation changes, but our pilot was very thoughtful and tried to take them slowly for his sake. If you are easily motion sick like we are, you might take some Dramamine before you go, but not so much that you are sleepy and miss out. We really enjoyed this experience, even with a little ear pain and motion sickness.

First flight in a helicopter, so was not sure what to expect but it was worth every penny!-fantastic views and commentary from the excellent pilot Justin. if you are thinking of doing this trip go for it, you won't regret it. We did the West Maui 30 minute trip. It went too fast though, but we saw a lot. Amazing! - I totally recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Thank you! (ps the Video we bought is excellent and was reasonably priced) Mahalo!

went with blue hawaiian before and they were great from start to finish. this trip was the best from champagne on the knoll to the ride clear around the island was perfect definitely blue hawaiian again!!!

We did the flight over the active volcano on the big island. Amazing seeing an active volcano and beautiful waterfalls. Don't expect to see lava spurting and flowing everywhere or close-ups to the waterfalls though like the pictures portray. The quality of the recorded DVD was very poor which was disappointing. Overall though a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
