Enjoyed my first helicopter ride, our pilot Geoff was knowledgeable and friendly made the time "fly" by.

The positives - pilot very nice, knowledgeable, friendly, answered all our questions. We (family of 4) ended up being the only passengers, all of us had excellent views. The ride was very smooth and even my 8 year old who had been very nervous really enjoyed herself. All the staff we interacted with were extremely nice. The neutral - basically saw Lava flowing into ocean, vast expanses of lava with steam vents, etc., and 1 waterfall in a 45 minute ride. I hoped to see a bit more and think more could have been fit in but felt like we circled the same sites multiple times. The ride is advertised as 50 minutes yet ours was barely 45 minutes with some redundant views - one wonders if this is a cost cutting move esp. if fewer folks on the flight. The not so good - we were excited to purchase the video (after spending 1200, what's another 40! Especially since that helps you remember what you spent so much on.). But it did not work for our flight. This was quite disappointing and all we got for this was "sorry". And last point...this is a very expensive ride. When we went to Jagger Museum later in the evening to see the lava flow by twilight and night, honestly i felt this was just as thrilling to see. there are many potential excursions to spend your money on in Hawaii. Think carefully about this one. If you are blessed with the money to spare, go for it! Otherwise, i advise going to park first and seeing if you get sufficient thrill from that at a small fraction of the cost. to me, this ride was worth $600, not $1200, with the lack of video being esp. disappointing.

This was our second trip on Blue Hawaiian... first out of Hilo a year ago, now Maui. Just an awesome experience. The aircraft are impeccable, pilots so knowledgeable and polite, and the staff so accommodating. Our trip was the Maui Island Experience and it was great. The best way to see Hana and really see the waterfalls. Great views of Haleakala, many valleys, and other great views. A great experience!!

Amazing flight!

First helicopter ride for both of us. It was so smooth. Shay was great and the island is amazing. We would have missed so much if we missed this. Thank you! It was awesome!

Scotty gave us wonderful tour and info on the island. Experience was amazing!!

This tour was awesome! The pilot, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable, and took us around to 360 degrees so everyone could see a get video/pictures of everything. We were very happy with the tour. Definitely worth doing!
