Amazing views, great Pilot (Barrett) very knowledgeable about Hawaii and just a really nice guy! Would definitely fly with Blue Hawaii again! Well worth the money and time! Thanks again for a wonderful trip! Mary and Donna

Amazing experience and the pilot was so nice. Absolutely loved it!

I did lots of research before choosing Blue Hawaiian, and was very impressed with their safety and professionalism. What disappointed me was where they seated me on the helicopter. I had the back window seat on the left, and the pilot showed us sights primarily on the right side of the helicopter. I understand the need to balance weight for seating, but I am only 5’3” and could not see over the front seat occupants, both of who were quite tall. The height of the men in the middle seats in back prevented me from seeing out the right back window. I would have appreciated it if Mark, our pilot, had turned the craft so that I could see each sight as well. Since we were back in our car at 10:45 for a 10am tour, I think he would have had time to do this.

Overall this was a great experience but less than we expected. Naively, we expected to see flowing streams of molten lava just as shown by all the brochures from all the tour companies. We did see molten lava, but mostly black with some red. We did see lava flow into the sea but again, black and mostly obscured by steam. We did see quite a lot of red molten lava in the crater and that was definitely special. However, the helicopter seating arrangements are not equitable. The back row seats 4 persons, one at each window and 2 on the inside; I was one of the unfortunates with an inside seat. The viewing is definitely limited from these seats compared to window seats or front row seats. At U$300 per seat I expected at least an equal viewing opportunity as the other passengers. I couldn't see to my right at all because of a rather large passenger who fell asleep shortly after take-off and awoke upon landing!

If you have the extra cash and time, please take this tour. There are parts of Maui that are just too difficult to get to on foot or in a car, so the helicopter tour is the only way to go. I chose the Complete Island tour thru Blue Hawaiian's partner Hawaii Helicopters (the discounted tour). They film the helicopter tour and you can purchase it on DVD for a good price. I cannot remember the cost, but I think it was about 25 dollars. This was great and I would do it again!

great flight, white legs reflected in windows, great views comfy trip

We had Beth as our pilot and she did an absolutely fantastic job. Informative, pleasant, and great music. Worth ever penny.

Brody rocked. Great info and super personable. Best way to see the island without a doubt. Great tour....MAHALO!!

Brody was awesome! Informative and fun. An amazing experience and unique. This was worth every minute.

This was an excellent aerial tour. Jeremy's commentary was very interesting and explained things well. I can't imagine a better way to see the lava flows and waterfalls. A couple of times the audio was difficult to hear, but all in all, this was worth every penny of the ticket price!

We would like to thank Brody our pilot of the flight for this wonderful and amazing flight. He was the most informative person about the island of Kauai. The fact that he was from the island and of Polynesia descent made the tour more interesting with the stories and information he gave was really special. We will both remember this experience.

Brody, you did a wonderful job.. Made the Tour so special because of you love for your home. Your respect for the Crater made me not want to take pictures out of reverence. Thank you

Spectacular! The best way to experience the splendor of God's creation.

Great tour! the pilot was entertaining and informative - we would definitely recommend Blue Hawaiian - maybe we'll do one of the other tours when we visit again! Thank you!

The tour was OFF THE CHAIN !!!!!! Jeremy is the best pilot ever and very knowledgeable of the territory highly recommend
