The helicopter tour is the best way to see the island. Me and my husband backpacked Waimea Canyon, snorkeled off a Catamaran and toured the island by boat, and hiked the 8 mile portion of the Na Pali Coast trail. With all that exploration, I would say that I would have missed out if I had not done the helicopter tour. You will see spots of the island up close that are inaccessible any other way. I sat behind the pilot and I suggest requesting a seat on the opposite side of the pilot as you will get more photo opportunities. But even though I was seated behind the pilot (they assign your seat based on weight), I couldn't complain. They do what they can to make sure your side gets a good view and the experience was amazing regardless of the seat. I did have a coupon from one of those travel books that features their helicopter on the cover, but the coupon was not put out by Blue Hawaiian, if I had looked closer, it was put out by Expedia. The girl at the desk said customers bring that coupon to her all the time but they cannot honor it. If you are military, ask for the discount. If you show them your ID, they will give a substantial discount.
We had an excellent experience. Our Pilot did a good job of explaining and giving everyone a close view. Unfortunately the volcano is not flowing much right now.
There is no better helicopter tour operator in Maui period. This was our second time doing this. I recommend the 90 minute tour. Mike S was a wonderful pilot and knowledgeable tour guide.
NO words, but AWESOME!!!!!
Pilot Brody was amazing! Awesome commentary!
Wow! Fantastic! Your helicopter tour made our trip. I cannot imagine how much we would have missed of the Island if we didn't take this tour. Everyone who visits should take this trip. Thanks for a great time! Beth our pilot was terrific! If you don't take a tour with Blue Hawaiian your really missing out on something fantastic.
Weather was great! The commentary with Scott was informative and humorous. The views were awesome. The flying done by our pilot made the trip fun and adventurous. He made sure that both sides got to see all the sites. Thank you.
Fantastic event! Highly recommended for all. Pilot Scott is a great tour guide.
Fantastic time! This is the absolute best way to see the island Greg was an amazing pilot.
excellent tour and views!!
Thank you Julie for a fantastic tour of Maui. Unforgettable! We will remember it when we get back to rainy England!
Excellent Pilot, Mike S.! Great personality and fun information about the Island. Amazing!!!!
We did the volcano and waterfall tour from Hilo. Was a great opportunity to see Hawaii from the air and get a unique perspective of the big island. Casey our pilot was fantastic as were all the staff who checked us in. We traveled with our 18 month old who wasn't sure while we were on the ground but enjoyed the flying and fell asleep. Highly recommend this tour.
Rick was our pilot and tour guide and he did a magnificent job! The entire experience was so professional and yet it was also very personal. Thank you.
Great trip with Kristy with a K. Thank you so much.
