This is a must to do tour to appreciate the overall beauty of Kauai You will see Rainbows, falls, etc... Waimea Canyon And the Na Pali Coast , from the air it is a must!
We chose this tour based on the Trip Advisor reviews and glad we did. We did the West Maui/Molokai tour so that we could see whales form the air. Our pilot did not disappoint. the pilots are trained tour guides and ours gave us many helpful insights during our trip. The helicopter was clean and comfortable and the view was out of this world. The Jurassic park music when descending in the sea cliffs of Molokai was a beautiful touch. Taking this helicopter trip gives you a much better understanding of the islands and their many micro climes.
Went on Blue Hawaiian helicopters on Maui. Had Katie as pilot and she was super with a great attitude. Took us to West Maui and Molokai. Even though expensive it was well worth the experience. ground crew was good also.
This was my second time in Maui and flying with Blue Hawaiian and they NEVER dissapoint. The helicopter was super comfortable and our pilot Jeremy was AWESOME! We toured over the Iao Valley and got to see so many whales and dolphins hanging around near Lahaina, we couldn't believe our eyes!! My grandmother is super scared of flying but Jeremy was excellent and very reassuring. Cherry on the cake was seeing a breathtaking rainbow right at the end of the trip. Surreal unforgetable ride!! Must do!!
Two of us booked the Molokai flight. It was cancelled but we were able to rescheduled. The weather was not perfect but adequate. We were very lucky to get the two passenger seats in the front of the Eco Star helicopter. This gave us lots of legroom, direct communication with the pilot and an excellent view. The flight took one hour and gave us an incredible look at West Maui, the eastern end of Molokai and a good look at humpback whales. Clearly this flight, while expensive, became the highlight of our vacation. Highly recommended.
This helicopter tour was absolutely amazing. The whales and the sea cliffs were super awesome. Our pilot was Mike and he was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He brought us through all of the valleys and around the coasts which was beautiful. I highly recommend this heli tour I felt totally safe and think it is great for anyone who is thinking about doing it.
We booked the Hana & Volcano tour, fantastic new US version of the Eurocopter. Amazing views of the coast, waterfalls, celebrity gardens & the volcano crater. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.
Our guide, Greg O, GoGo, was great, we saw whales breaching, Madame Pele fire dancing, incredible views of the Kohala coast valleys and waterfalls. Very comfortable, great window views, sound system was truly good. We were on the eco star helicopter more expensive but well worth it. Took our grandson and he was busy with his go pro and grinning the whole time. Definitely the way to see the big island.
Rick (the pilot) showed us a fantastic time. Booked the 90 min Maui Spectacular, but due to weather issues up the top of the big mountain, he took us on a brilliant sightsseing tour of Molokini and a shipwreck instead. Was not disappointed in the slightest. Thanks Rick! Bloody well done.
This helicopter tour, especially across Maui and to Molokai is an unforgettable & surreal experience! It wasn't my first flight- I've also done Kauai (also incredible!!) a couple of years ago. Even still I was speechless and in complete awe and goosebumps the entire time. Our pilot ("Chase") was perfect in all senses; engaging, professional, easy going, competent, informative, and fun. He took us past loads of whales, waterfalls, valleys, vistas, the bluest seas and coastlines. If its possible to fall in love in 45 minutes, this is it! Well worth the money, even if you have to splurge. The staff is fantastic, playful, and kind. And the aircraft was super sleek and comfortable. I can't wait to go back!
We wanted to see the rest of Maui which can only be done by air. Our pilot, Noah gave a one hour tour that was simply fantastic. He was also very knowledgeable regarding how the islands were formed and the different weather microcosms prevalent on the island. We were also able to view the many waterfalls on the island some of them falling directly into the ocean. You're in Hawaii don't leave without seeing all of it. We also saw whales swimming off shore. The best money spent on Maui!!!!!
We had a great tour of West Maui and Molokai. We had to cancel our original date because of bad weather and Blue Hawaiian was very accommodating at arranging another date. It was so windy the day we went but you would never have known. It was a fun experience and I would highly recommend purchasing the video for $25. It is a great reminder of what you saw.
We flew over Kauai the first day there. Breathtaking views of mountains, canyons, waterfalls and beaches for miles. It was nice to explore the island via Sky first because then we knew where we wanted to visit via land. Do it!
My 11 yr. old daughter and I had the amazing opportunity to fly the Maui/Molokai tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter while visiting Maui. I'm slightly regretting this magical experience, as she now wants to be a helicopter pilot! The ground crew was entertaining and professional while we waited and we were lucky to have Chase as our pilot. He was cool as a cucumber and made us all feel at ease during the flight. One lady was slightly queasy and he made sure she was comfortable and ok. Although he stuck with the tour route, when there were pods of whales or other significant features, he made sure we all got a great view and time to enjoy the sights! Many friends have asked me if it's 'worth the cost' and I emphatically reply, "YES". There is nothing like this experience and I'm so grateful to have purchased the video of our personal flight to always relive! Thanks BHH!!!
Before we left for Maui I was looking at reviews of helicopter tours and someone made the point that if you are going all the way to Hawaii, don't miss this experience, despite the cost. I am so glad I took this advice to heart. We loved our tour of West Maui and Molokai. It was a fantastic way to see both islands and a few whales along the way. It was the highlight of our trip - for both the teens and adults. I'm home now, have reviewed my credit card balance and am still advocating that this is a must do experience.
