I love flying and so doing this trip was a 'no-brainer'. We chose the 1 hour, whole island tour. Gee, it was so good. We were very comfortable in the helicopter and had great views of everything. Often the pilot would circle around so that everyone had a chance to see the spectacular valleys and waterfalls. We even saw whales and the pilot circled so that we all got a view. Flying in to some of the valleys was a bit nerve racking but we felt very safe the whole time. We saw many things which just would not be possible any other way. THIS IS A MUST DO TOUR when on Maui. Rick the pilot was very knowledgeable and not only gave a good running commentary but also answered all our questions. A brilliant way to see the island. Even if you do the road trip around the island, do this as well. They are very complimentary tours.

Flying over the island of Hawaii in our Blue Hawaiian helicopter was probably one of our most favorite vacation memories. For a family of 5, we had the helicopter to ourselves. Our pilot was wonderful – providing interesting commentary along the way. And the views were spectacular – particularly of the volcano eruption which is hard to see from land. If you want to see the lava coming out of Kilauea this is the best vantage to see nature’s fury. And hovering over and down the waterfalls was amazing. The flight was smooth but for those that have a little motion sickness, bring some gum or take a little medicine because of all the turns. While a bit expensive for the tickets, definitely worth the new perspective you’ll get on your Hawaiian vacation!

Amazing and Beautiful Experience! My son and I took the West Maui and West Molokai tour on New Year's Day 2015 and it was the most amazing and beautiful tour experience in a helicopter. We saw the cliffs, gorgeous shorelines as well as the sugar cane fields of West Maui. Then we saw cliffs, shorelines and waterfalls of West Molokai! Spectacular! The pilot "Rick" was very knowledgeable with his history of the islands and provided a great synopsis of West Maui and Molokai. He let us enjoy the sites as well without too much talking. He was very courteous and always attentive to flying and the safety of all those onboard. He also pointed out a whale and some manta rays. Loved the tour! Wished it could have lasted the entire day! My son loved it! Loved the music too! Just beautiful, would do it again and recommend this tour to anyone! Arlene & Antonio

We had a wonderful helicopter ride in Maui. I booked the Eco-Star helicopter which was very comfortable. My daughter and I were alone in the back seat for this tour and we both got a window seat. I purchased the video that they provided of the actual tour we were on. The pilot was excellent and the staff very professional.

For those visiting Hawaii on a holiday, and into nature, not seeing the remoteness of what the islands has to offer would leave you leaving short changed. You could hike and climb, or you could go on a helicopter. Ok, not cheap but if added to the total cost, it washes out. You'll see parts of the island you just wouldn't see. We saw whales (only in winter months), waterfalls, and mountains. Molokai is the option to choose. So secluded and untouched. What Hawaii must have looked like before Capt Cook. A must see and do.

Our flight was very comfortable and informative, the pilot was great. When the pilot talked it was a nice blend of information and then nice background music, not too much chatter, just the right amount. The view from the air was spectacular! You see parts of Maui that you can only see from the air, amazing experience, well worth the money spent.

We did the tour of Maui/Molokai. The tour was really breathtaking. You really see the islands in a different light when doing this type of tour. Our Pilot was great, never knew until after the flight we were flying in 30mph winds. The tour was informative and have great Hawaiian music to go with it. My wife and I were very impressed with the views. I was bummed to find the audio for the dvd option did not work but the video views were still amazing. Would do again for sure.

Tim was a fantastic pilot and guide. First time on a helicopter, I did not expect to be so comfortable, but was happily surprised to totally enjoy the tour. Tim was entertaining and informative, and very professional. We saw whales, other islands, mountains, waterfalls, and sights you could only see from a helicopter. We enjoyed the entire 1.5 hour tour and bought the movie of our flight.

We recently took a one hour complete island tour of Maui and it was incredible. New helicopter, great pilot who answered all of our questions and gave a great guided tour. Was well worth the drive from Kaanapali.

Absolutely fantastic views of Maui! Tim was our pilot and he was very knowledgeable about the history of Maui and the natural history of the vegetation on the island which I really appreciated. He had some tips about nice hiking trails as well. Awesome!

Helicopter is comfortable, pilot flew it in a very professional manner,sights were great but our 2 hour triplasted exactly 1 hour and 40 minutes. Considering it cost around $1000 for 2 it seems like I was gyped out of about $200.

We did the Maui Splendor and loved it. Price was great and it was an easy process. Recommend you search for discounts because it was expensive but we saved a few hundred dollars by going through the hotel.

We had a great trip viewing north Maui and Molokai. The pilot is also a licensed travel guide and gave us some really great information on the Hawaiian islands. The only downside was our trip was supposed to be recorded and for some reason the camera recording equipment failed, but they gave us a complimentary copy of their entire video library of all the islands. At least I had my own pictures and video's. We also saw the whales playing and some manta ray's soaking up some sun so lots to see and you would never believe the height of the cliffs and water falls you see that are not accessible by any other form. Highly recommend spending the money on this adventure. Nice eco copters too. They do have lockers to store purses or backpacks. You can only take a camera onboard. 5 minutes from the car rental places.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Circle Island tour of Maui. Mike was a terrific pilot and a great tour guide as well, providing lots of interesting information about the island. The views from the air were awesome. My only disappointment was that the large waterfall in West Maui didn't have much water (no recent rains) but that wasn't the Blue Hawaiian fault. The helicopter was very comfortable, and safety briefing was thorough. All in all, well worth the expense.

There is always pros and cons with helicopter tours. Price is a con and this company is expensive but worth it. We flew inter-island in the morning and it was beautiful. The best part of our tour was the pilot, Chris. Vast experience, honest, humble and friendly. He made this bucket list trip the best. Thank you Chris. I would ask to fly with him and him only.
