Really beautiful coastline and valley sights. The wind is strong so the chopper moves around quite a lot. I admit it was scary at times but beautiful sights make it worth it! Definitely recommend & would do it again.

We took a Road to Hana driving tour with a flight back on one of the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. I was impressed with the safety procedures completed by the staff. As this was my first ride on a chopper, knowing my safety was so important to them made me feel totally confident with the ride. The chopper was comfortable and spacious with large windows. Our pilot made sure we had the best views possible during our air tour of Maui. I would love to do this again.

Our pilot, Rick, was not only an excellent pilot, but served as a very knowledgeable guide to the islands. Our group consisted of four, ages 7 to 70, and all of us were very pleased with the tour, safety and professionalism of the Blue Hawaiian team. We will use Blue Hawaiian again.

The Maui trips are affected by weather so call to confirm your scheduled tour is still available before driving an hour from main resorts in west. Otherwise they will try and sell you another tour. Seats in the middle/back of the eco-star chopper do not allow for photography, a huge drawback. Seats are assigned based on weight distribution. If you are in middle/back you must purchase a video of the trip for $42 to get the photos you want. Everything was well organized and pilot was informative and friendly.

We have used blue Hawaiian 3 times. Each time, we see something different even if it's the same trip. From mountains to waterfalls, to beaches to cliffs, whales to ships, the view from above is simply amazing.

My wife and I rode with Blue yesterday as part of a Road to Hana combo tour. The flight was wonderful and informative. We flew along the coast and far up in to the rainforest. The views were breathtaking. Our pilot was friendly and informative. A few things to keep in mind: If your are over 240 lbs they charge you almost double. Also, since the heliport is kinda in the middle of nowhere make sure you've scheduled your ride back in advance.

We did a Family helicopter tour in the Dominican Republic last year and knew we had to do one in Hawaii. We did the 2 island 50 minute tour and it was amazing. The tour guide at our resort recommended another company but we booked blue Hawaiian on our own. We did that because the helicopter we were on sat 6 people and the competitor's sat 7. Our family of 5 wanted the tour for ourselves so we bought the 6th seat. It was about $1600USD for all of us. Like I said very expensive but with it. Our pilot took a little off our original plan and we ventured over the ocean and were able to see a couple Whales breach. Unreal!!!! Our pilots name was Dean and he was fantastic. Enjoy!

Getting an overhead view of Kauai is something everybody should do. The pilot we had was fun, had a love for flying and Hawaii that was infectious. It was a flying history lesson that I'd love to be able to do again tomorrow. Hopefully someday, well worth doing this trip!

My friend and I did a private flight with Tim at the controls and providing historical insight and background of everything along the way. My friend Rob who has taken several helicopter flights on the islands said that Tim was the best pilot he has flown with. It was my first helicopter flight and I was amazed at how smooth and pleasant the entire trip was. The scenery from the air was fantastic with close views of the canyons and waterfalls. Korina and Loke who took care of us at the base couldn't have been more friendly and informative. They also have a video record of the entire flight available when you land. What a wonderful experience! A once in a lifetime event!

Not having been to this part of Hawaii before this is one of our best vacations- in part to experiencing the whole island of Maui tour by helicopter. With 5 in our family we really had a chartered flight- lucky us!! Reading other trip advisor comments I rang confirming that today would be good no matter whether it was morning or afternoon as the weather had steadily been perfect with no cloud and only minor winds. This Eco star tour was worth every cent. Excellent safety instructions, Bose noise cancelling headphones with appropriate music and a microphone to talk to the pilot and each other. We had Gernot the pilot supervisor with 22 years experience- lucky us- the conditions were amazing and he said that's why he wished to go today.Seeing the road to Hana from above meant we didn't have to do the tour on road.(It was very much like the roads in NZ so for us probably wouldn't have been that worthwhile).The greenery, valleys and deep crevices, lava tubes, Jurassic park scenery and amazing waterfalls, as well as the "crater" were all in their splendour.65 minutes of pure bliss, wonder and laughs. A highlight was seeing 6 humpback whales!!! 2 lots of 3- what a treat. We bought a wee aviator bear, magnet, a t shirt,as well as the DVD which was hilarious for us to watch due to our teenage girls comments. All the ground and support crew were also amazing. Just a wee note that parking is $7 and if you don't have the right amount no change is given(we could have parked for 4 hours! but really who cares when you experience the ride). Thanks to Gernot and Blue Hawaiian helicopters this will be a memorable time for us and our girls for years to come!!!

I got the "blue skies of Oahu" tour as a gift and loved every second of it. From pick up to drop off. Ground crew was great. Especially Martin (?) who took care of pick ups. Very friendly and professional. Keep on singing buddy :) Chris, our pilot, was awesome. He was professional and made me feel safe. I loved how he narrated the tour, it made me smile a lot!! Thanks! The views were spectacular and a fantastic way to see the island. All in all a VERY good day! I would recommend it to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

The West Maui/ Molokai Tour was fantastic! You check in for your tour about 45 minutes prior to your scheduled departure. The waiting area is comfortable with seating areas throughout, water, tea, coffee, and some water features that help to calm your nerves (if you're like me and are nervous to fly in a helicopter for the first time, this is great). We went on one of the larger Eco Star helicopters, which I highly recommend! They are much larger then their other helicopters (a-star??), and look like they'd be a bit cramped inside. This was my first helicopter tour, but I can definitely recommend the West Maui Molokai Tour for those visiting Maui. It is great to see Molokai, an island most people don't get to experience. Molokai has the largest sea cliffs in the world, and is full of enormous waterfalls, which are truly breathtaking! Our pilot Rick was fantastic!- He was super knowledgeable on the history and geological history of Molokai. Due to weather we were unable to explore West Maui, but Rick took us whale watching instead. I have been on several whale watches and seen them from the beach a bunch, but seeing whales from an aerial view was such a unique sight- it was amazing! The entire experience was excellent. I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!

We did the west Maui and Molokai helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian ecostar helicopters. It was expensive but definitely worth it. This was our first helicopter ride and we were amazed how smooth the ride was. The views of the Island and the waterfalls were stunning. Strongly recommend.

We enjoyed our flight and found it very informative. We did see several whales in the water and a number of waterfalls. Felt safe the entire time.

Blue Hawaiian proves to the best among the others . Our pilot was amazing and she took care of each and every one . Always prefer to fly by eco type gives more space. The 2 hour one is the best.
