Booked the trip with Brent Turner at Boss Frogs..he was so helpful and got us a super deal on the helicopter trip. We loved the trip,my first time and I hate flying but this was magic. Pilot Noah gave us amazing views of Maui and Molokai, he is very knowledgeable and made this a magic experience. Don't miss this one, and book with Brent.
If you want to see Maui from every angle and talk to your friends while flying, then definitely try Blue Hawaiian. It was safe and well worth the money for a once in a lifetime experience. Breathtaking!
We opted for the Maui Spectacular and thoroughly enjoyed the trip - definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The spectacular views over the many waterfalls and mountains were just beautiful and I think the only way to truly appreciate the sheer beauty and rugged scenery that Maui has to offer. The pilot was very friendly and professional and I would definitely recommend this trip
We rode front seat in the EcoStar helicopter with pilot Mike, who was fantastic. He was very informative and personable. He made the ride feel thrilling but also made it feel safe. The views were SPECTACULAR! we went Molokai/west Maui. The cliffs of Molokai were breathtaking. Can't recommend this enough! Just do it!
After 3 previous tries and bad weather on the mountain we finally were able to experience the Maui Spectacular tour. We were not disappointed! It was fantastic and so was our pilot, Chase. The sparkling wine was a nice added touch!
We would have to say this was the highlight of our vacation! An amazing experience. We did the Maui Spectacular/ whole island tour. Yes they are pricey but we looked at it as a once in a lifetime experience. You would never do it again. I would also say don't waste your precious moments trying to take photos just buy the video at the end. The pilot has a few different angels of video going the whole trip; you could never get the same! Our pilot was Mike & he made the experience; he was very personable. He remembered all our names & made sure to turn that we all got the same view. Well worth every penny.
We booked a volcano tour with Blue Hawaiian that was all we could ask for.....and with a big surprise. Not only did we see lava fire outbreaks in many places, which was great...BUT.....it rained off and on, and when the sun broke through we saw rainbows, and not normal ones....we were above the rainbow and were treated to a full 360 rainbow BELOW us. Awesome!
Mike was our pilot for February 2, 2016 tour. He was very informative about the island and pointed out a lot of history for us. He certainly knew the area and has flown over all the islands and told us some history about them. Mike conversed with each of us and knew all our names during conversations so we didn't talk over anyone else! He made certain that all on the helicopter were able to view the waterfalls, vegetation and whales and other things. My husband said this was his favorite thing we did while on Maui and I agree with him! Thanks to Mike, our pilot!
Not only was it an unusually clear day that left both mountains in plain view but we had Pilot Rick! We have always chosen Blue Hawaiian when it was time to show our friends and family the island from the air and this time we all agreed it was the best! He knew the island better than most and piloted our flight very smoothly. Ask for a seat by the pilot as there is more room to stretch out and better visibility.
I have never been on a helicopter and would go back in a heartbeat. The staff was very considerate for those who were concerned and they followed very strict safety rules. The pilot (Gernod) was excellent and the views were out of this world. The highlight of our Maui trip!
This was our first helicopter tour and left us wanting to do it again. The company was very professional as was the pilot. They try hard to make it a great experience for you. We did the Molokai trip. Truly an excellent experience.
Chase was an amazing pilot and made our time in the helicopter wonderful. He gave many interesting facts as well as making sure we were comfortable.
One pilot, 3 groups of 2. I am 6'3 and 230 so I had the pleasure of riding in the back seat center. Not by the window, but still plenty to see. The flight was 45 min and went fast. But the experience was amazing. Second to when I went sky diving at age 21 in AZ. If you have the luck of drawing the front seats take them. They keep you and your partner together so don't worry about being seperated, but one group are up front with the pilot while the other two pairs are back seats big guys in the middle, ladies at the window. I chose this route because the volcano can be difficult with bad weather and enjoyed it. I went on the submarine tour and it was a 5/10, catamaran 7/10, and the helicopter 9.5/10. If money is tight save up for this experience and cut corners everywhere else.
Our family did the "Maui Spectacular" tour. What a beautiful way to see all of Maui. The west maui mountains were breathtaking but what truly made our trip was our pilot Katie. My wife was so nervous to fly but Katie made her feel comfortable and at ease. And our 5 year old son loved it! This trip is a MUST do if you go to Hawaii. Thank you Katie and thank you Blue Hawaiian! We can't wait to visit again.
We took the 65 minute "Complete Maui" helicopter tour on February 11th. Tim Perry was our pilot. We LOVED it! First of all, a big thank you to Tim. He was incredibly informative and really funny. He made us feel comfortable (e.g. highlighting why we were experiencing 'bumpiness') and, from what I can, appeared to know what he was doing 'behind the wheel.' The tour was beautiful, covering all the landscape Maui has to offer, including hovering over whales and getting some great pics. A big thanks to Tim for making our trip perfect!
