Who knew. Molakai and West Maui opened my eyes to the wonders of Hawaii. Wow. Cliffs, water falls, valleys, veg, and the reef. This was a bucket list fulfillment. Thanks Blue!
Pilot commentary was great but not what I expected for price. Good way to see Hana without driving it. Video for purchase has no audio so have no record of what we saw. Pictures taken have major reflection problems. Glad I did it though because never been in a helicopter before. If u sit in front seat, don't pick your nose because u are on camera front the start.
We did the complete hour Maui tour in the Eco Star. OMG the views. We wish we did it first on our trip.
Loved, loved, loved this flight over the entire island of Maui. Chris was our pilot; his take off, flight and landings were perfectly smooth. We felt completely safe with him. We took the first flight at 7:45am before any volcanic fog or wind came up. Pilot narration was very informative, but the views were breathtaking. We flew over Hana instead of driving the road. Don't know why we waited so long to do this. We see why Blue Hawaiian is rated the best, that's because they are!!!
We had a great time! Mike was an excellent pilot, with a wealth of knowledge of the islands. Very friendly and professional. Loved all of the gorgeous views! We got lucky too, as the weather was great! We would definitely recommend you guys to our friends/family!
Just an amazing flight around the island - very skilled pilot, who gave us a great commentary while showing us around the beautiful island. If you do one thing when in Honolulu take this flight
What a great helicopter tour - so organized, It's no Surprise that they are the best on the island. The ride was such an amazing experience and our Pilot, Chris was so informative and personable. I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian!
My fiancee and I picked up the ~2 hour trip around the entire Maui island and thoroughly enjoyed it! The pilot/tour guide was very knowledgeable! Being in the heli we were able to land on the side of Haleakala, enjoy a glass of champagne, and venture through areas of that aren't accessible by foot (mostly) or plane! Plus, just being in for a heli trip by itself was quite an experience. The entire trip, including all commentary and questions are captured and can be purchased at the end of the trip for $25 on their own SD card, which is a great deal. Highly suggest trying to sit in the front 2 seats - best views and tons of leg room.
We arrived and checked in, then before our flight instructions we were told that because of low visibility we wouldn't be able to view everything Maui had to offer. Clouds had descended on the peaks of the island and we couldn't see to fly over them. They offered us the trip of the west side of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai and never ever will regret our decision. We will never ever forget it! From the dense foliage covered mountain peaks, some as high as 5000 feet to the beautiful coral beach of Molokai, and the 2000 foot waterfall which is the largest in the world, we reveled in the fact that we were seeing some of the most remote areas in the world. Our pilot Rick had a couple surprises for us. One of which was the shipwreck shore with a 1940 wrecked ship just offshore from Larry Ellison's private island. The entire staff was top notch and extremely helpful, but our pilot guide Rick made it the best!
Three friends wanting to see the highlights of Maui in one easy trip. Every thing was well orgainized. The tour was so amazing, it was the highlight of the holiday. Our piolt Glenda, was very profession, informative and easy to understand, she made us all fee at ease. What spectacular scenery, with the added advantage of clouds. I would certainly recommend this tour for everyone. Thank you Blue Hawaiian.
Its pricey and if you have never done one - maybe worth it. Its short - about 45 minutes. But the view is breathtaking. Not sure it was worth the price.
Check in was a breeze and all the staff was very friendly yet professional. We booked the hour long whole island tour and it was perfect. It sure didn't seem like an hour but we were actually up for about 70 minutes! The views were awesome-- seeing valleys and waterfalls that you can't see from the ground. Our pilot was very informational and tried to make everyone feel welcome. We had an early morning booking so were able to to see all peaks before the clouds came in. Our pilot made sure to do turns at each scenic place so both sides could see things. I would definately recommend you do this at least once.
We have taken helicopter tours in various places throughout the US. While we were on Hawaii we did a tour in Oahu and Maui both on blue Hawaiin. We had an amazing time on both trips. This place is a class act and wish they had locations all over the world!
We took this helicopter ride the first day on Kauaui to get the birdseye view of island before exploring by car. What an experience. It is an absolute spectacular island and you have the best view from this vantage. Barrett was our pilot who is a local lad and ready to share all his local information and so good at remember names. I believe the trip was about an hour and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have relived the experience through the DVD that you receive after your trip taken via cameras on the helicopter. Great trip
I bought my husband a helicopter tour for his birthday. The pictures do not do it justice. Absolutely amazing! We were very fortunate with the weather and we were able to go to the very back along the volcano walls. It looks like a scene from Jurassic Park. I can't recommend this tour enough. The guide was very fun and knowledgeable too.
