We went for the complete Maui island tour and it was spectacular waterfalls and vistas you could only see from a chopper! Incredible views in the valleys and the slopes of Haleakala were astounding. Thank you Tara and Trevor for the gift
This trip was definitely worth the money, we took the 45 minute trip which was just right for us, never been on a helicopter before, ride was smooth and quiet, had headphones so we could hear the pilot give history on the island, fishing, inhabitants, etc. You could also ask any questions along the way. I tell you we saw things that you only see in pictures waterfalls, valleys, ocean views, things you can absolutely not see except for by air. My party loved this trip! Next time, I would take the ultimate tour that goes over the entire island! Staff was friendly and efficient. Cold lavender towels provided after landing.
Something to do and not miss, we did the complete island tour which lasts for about 1 hour and was superb, our lady pilot was great and explained a lot and the views you get are breathtaking, it is not cheap at 300USD per person. Everything was professional, on time and safe. The heliport is close by the airport so a bit far from the main beach areas so you will need a transfer to get there.
Doing a helicopter ride of Maui is definitely worth a splurge; you see so many places you won't in a car. Our pilot was great and very informative; the ride was smooth. Our flight was delayed over an hour which was frustrating, but they did apologize and gave us complimentary DVDs of our flight.
We surprised our parents with the shortest 45 min helicopter tour since my mom mentioned she was terrified of riding in one. The original morning tour was canceled but they upgraded them to the next level helicopter later that same day which was nice of them. Our parents both loved it and were surprised at how smooth the ride was. They mentioned the pilot (Eric) was great, the only thing they would have changed is stay on longer. It's probably worth booking the longer tours. Thank you for the memorable experience you all gave them!
Probably like most people, this is something we really wanted to do but wasn't sure if it was worth the price. Without a doubt it was completely worth it. We did the West Maui - Molokai tour with our pilot Hugo and everything about it was perfect. He shared interesting facts as he flew us through crazy canyons, incredible waterfalls, and the world's tallest sea cliffs...all places that you can't see any other way. The views and experience is awesome and the photos turned out great. Safety and professionalism were outstanding. Thanks for the highlight of our trip!!
We firstly signed up for Haleakala Volcanic Crater but due to the weather, blue Hawaiian crew suggested us to take the west maui/molokai tour. They said the ride to the volcanic crater on that day could have been bumpy. And i must say, haleakala looked less cloudy. But they were right... because the ride to Molokai was very smooth and cool... the ladies at the counter were very smiling and friendly. I asked them many questions since I was anxious. I would like to thank them again for calming me down... of course the safety of the guests is their top priority so we were well informed before the ride... and the ride.... OH MY GOD... seriously I didnt want to go West Maui before and then I realized how thankful I am to the weather. Our pilot Chris was also very informative.. he gave us information about the island and hawaii in general. He saw a whale too and then try to show it to us (of course without being too close)... also you get to listen the amazing music while youre on the ride... and i dont know if our pilot did it on purpose but at the climax of the song we were at the top of the mountains or coming out of clouds... generally thanks Blue Hawaiian Team! It was an amazing ride...
Five us went on a tour of the island in February. They were very helpful and informative, being sure that we had our questions answered and that we had interesting information during the flight. This is our third Hawaii helicopter tour, and it was very good. The pilot was both personable and professional as he provided us an excellent experience. The six year old with us was delighted with the experience, and so were the grownups.
I got the blue Hawaiian helicopter trip around the island for my wife's birthday and the tour was nothing short of breathtaking the tour took us really close to a huge waterfall and took us along the coast line where they filmed the Jurassic park movies. It was a little pricey but it was well worth the cost as the views were spectacular.
WE started the day by taking a van tour from Kahalui on the road to Hana, had a picnic lunch, and then were trans ported to the Hana airport. Blue Hawaiian picked us up there and flew us all the Way down the southeast corner of Maui and back acrosss to the west. We flew by Wailea and the hotels there, all the while looking at the top of Haleakala. Our pilot Tim was outstanding and told us all stories about the volcano and how the island of Maui was formed. Educational and scenic at the same time. A great time.
We were in the chopper and headed across the channel from Maui towards Molokai when our pilot turned us around and headed back. The land radar had not shown the storm clouds visible when up there and they were ominous. The ride was incredibly smooth and painless and I was happy to keep it that way!!!
This was the highlight for us in Maui. We did the complete island tour in a beautiful clear day. Tim, our pilot is amazing. He made sure we have 360 view no matter where we sat. He guided the tour with matching music. It was great fun. We saw many waterfalls too. This is one of the best to do.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 90 minute tour of Maui with Glenda. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left after our tour, the staff of Blue Hawaiian was wonderful. The ride itself was phenomenal! While the weather did not allow us to see the Haleakala Crater, we in NO WAY felt that we were short changed on our tour. It was a beautiful way to enjoy a beautiful island. Thank you to everyone at Blue Hawaiian!
The flight is amazing. Our pilot had great information for us and the views were drop dead gorgeous. Money well spent.
This is definitely one of the highlights from my trip to Maui! The staff was very nice and helpful. The first day we booked our tour was very overcast so they couldn't fly. They were very helpful in allowing us to re-book at a time convenient for us and they upgraded us to a longer tour. Our pilot was Hugo (the BEST!!) and he was very friendly and made the tour really fun. The views from the helicopter are just incredible. I was in the middle in the back and I was able to see and take pictures with no problem. Hugo flew us over the ocean to spot whales and also was excited about how clear the day was. We were on the West Maui Mountains and Molokai tour and it was perfect. The music in the head set is also fun. I recognized the music from Jurassic Park which was great. Some of my best pictures from my trip to Maui are from this helicopter tour. Don't miss it!
