Awesome, simply a remarkable experience.

SPECTACULAR !! The natural scenery enhanced by a wonderful pilot finding the rainbows and waterfalls to make every view memorable

Awesome first experience. Loved our pilot!!! Views were amazing!!!

the tour was amazing. our pilot Carl was super kind and helpful and professional. the Italian guys thank him so much!

Great tour! Pilot was very entertaining!!

Patrick was great, really funny. Great songs. Major Tom needs to be included in the soundtrack.

Pilot was great and very courteous! I loved seeing the lava.

It's been 11 years since we've been to Maui so we decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary by going to the Big Island. We had Greg O pilot us to the Kohala Coast on Aug 7, 2017. He was great as he addressed us all by name which helped to keep everyone engaged especially with the kids so that my son was interested in asking questions. Greg was knowledgeable and professional. Beautiful island and helicopter is the only way to see the amazing coast line and the many waterfalls up north in Kohala. After the tour Greg went above and beyond as he helped each party take a picture in front of the helicopter we flew in. We decided to purchase a copy of our trip which they put on USB. It has the actual recording of our flight and two way conversation with pilot. One of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island and was great to have Blue Hawaiian make it more memorable. Thanks Greg and the rest of Blue Hawaiian team. We will fly Blue when we come back to another island

Took the Big Island Spectacular-Eco tour. The helicopter set up was helpful to be able to see around. If you end up in the back in one of the two middle seats, your view won't be quite so good. However, they assign seats to balance weight load, so you don't have any control over where you sit. On our day, it was a bit cloudy by our 12:15 tour. During the summer (June) it is better to go earlier. Unfortunately the clouds didn't allow us to get right over main crater of the Kilauea volcano. However, our pilot was able to take us over the Pu'u O'o vent to see lava and then over the spot where it goes into the ocean underwater. That is incredible. Even more incredible were waterfalls in the Kohala Mountains. We flew into one of the valleys to get up close. It was surreal with the fog over the top of the valley and we were in the narrow valley under it an between the walls. Truly incredible. We did buy the video on a jump drive. It was good video; the pilot changes the views on it to show the best view. A couple of things; it was a little warm in the helicopter. We were unsure if we would need a jacket and absolutely not. Second, you stop halfway on the trip, over in Hilo, to refuel. You can get out, get some air and go to the restroom. Finally, a member of our party had injured themselves before the flight. Blue Hawaiian was excellent with them. In Hilo, they had a golf cart available for them to get into and drive to the restrooms. Excellent service!

Our pilot, Beth, was fabulous and knowledgeable. Weather was perfect with very few bumps! Not too many clouds. Cater was great and coast was amazing.

We took the lava tour out of Hilo.....at 5pm........ground crew was organized....the pilot was cordial and knowledgeable of our surroundings as we flew up to the lava field....the cabin on board was fully enclosed as others I observed while waiting to board were open cabin.....we flew up to the waterfalls first then over to the volcano...there were 3 points of lava interest......the open cone near the top of the volcano.....the flow headed down towards the sea, and then the lava spilling into the ocean......we wore headsets to hear the pilots plus had microphones to ask questions and converse with pilot all and all an awesome trip..........kids loved it....13 yrs and 17 yrs old

Fantastic tour! Although it may seem a bit pricy, but having flown multiple different helicopter tours before, this is easily the best tour we've been on by far. The views of the lava and ocean were simply outstanding. Our pilot Carl was outgoing and knowledgeable, and made the tour ten times better than it already was. We drove here from Kona two hours away, but the trip was worth it.

I booked Blue Hawaiian Helicopters' "Blue Skies of Oahu" helicopter tour through the hotel concierge. We rode in one of those newer "eco-star" choppers. If you don't care about taking pictures, then sitting anywhere would be fine. But if you're the type that likes to take a lot of pictures THE ONLY GOOD SEAT WOULD BE A FRONT SEAT. I don't care what they say about having a great view regardless of where you sit. It's just not true. How would you like to snap a picture but at the last minute the hand of the guy sitting in front suddenly goes up and you get a picture of his hand instead of the view you wanted? It happened several times. It's annoying! Don't get me wrong - the staff was excellent and the safety briefing they gave was excellent. I also sat beside the window - but it's not the same as sitting in front.

Amazing tour, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Crater, Hanauma Bay,Makapuu point, east coast beaches, Jurassic Valley, north shore beaches including Sunset and Banzai Tunnel and the icing on the cake of Pearl Harbour. Great great views that you can only see from the helicopter

Finished a flight around Kauai and Blue Hawaiin have delivered again!!  Went with them last year on Big Island and just as good-would not look anywhere else if I get the chance again-these guys are jus good!  Very professional, safety conscious and customer focussed.  Pilot Beth was outstanding and gave a great guided tour.  You have to buy the video-none of your pictures or videos are as good as the video.  Mahalo Blue Hawaiin....
