The views are just amazing and we were able to see a lot as the weather was on our side, we have done the complete island tour. We have chosen Blue Hawaiian, because we could talk to the pilot, which was really a plus. Mike, our pilot, was very friendly and informative. Juste à WOW experience and highly recommend it!!!

Went on our vacation with our 10 year old and 13 year old kids. Bought the high end tour in the biggest helicopter and the longest tour time. Our pilot was Michael. Hanger was very clean and nice. Crew on the ground were very professional and nice. The helicopter was a seven passenger Eurocopter. I'm a helicopter freak and this was a treat getting to ride in one. Our pilot was very safe and courteous and knew a lot of information about the island and the tour. We flew a loop of the island and landed for a snack. Would definitely do this again. My only complaint about the whole experience was the long check in time. We arrived at 10:30 as required. Watched a 5 minute FAA safety video and then sat and waited until 11:20 to leave. The lobby is very nice and they show a professional and educational video about the Hawaiian islands and some of their tours, but that's a long time to wait when you are on vacation. But that is a small complain for the overall experience. Would go again.

My wife and I have previously taken Blue Hawaiian on the Big Island and on Kuai - both excellent trips. Our tour of Maui achieved that same high level. The helicopters are comfortable, and the pilots are great and very informative. A helicopter tour is great way to get the lay of the land and should be done early in your stay - it can identify other places to go. Blue Hawaiian is a class act - and not all companies achieve that level.

I have never been on a helicopter before, so this was a first! I was a bit nervous, because I do not like to fly, but this was super fun! Tim was our pilot and he was a wealth of knowledge about the island and the history of the island. He played some really awesome music too! The views from above is pretty spectacular. You stop on top of one of the mountains and have a champagne toast! Be sure to wear closed toed shoes, as there are cow patties on the mountaintop. We took a lot of pictures from the helicopter, it is best to wear dark clothes so that your reflection doesnt show up in your pictures. We went on the morning tour. Take lots of pictures

If you've never done a helicopter tour in Maui, then you need to check out Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours. Their helicopters are state-of-the-art, quiet, smooth, and comfortable.

Our first helicopter trip and I was more than a little nervous. We had a private helicopter tour because I wanted it to be an exclusive experience for my husband and I, but with that said I wanted to be in the back seats. LOL. Mike, our great pilot, came out and tried/and did talk me into the middle seat up front. He was right and I am glad he talked me into it. The trip was amazing. We went on a great morning, with no clouds, took the Hana/Haleakala tour on Maui, and even got a sneak peak into an area Mike said he only gets to go into 30% of the time. My husband got awesome pictures which we already have put on our “vacation” wall. The staff were great and again, Mike was informative, professional and understanding of my apprehension. One of the highlights, beyond the waterfalls that you can only see from the air, was when we started out they played the Hawaii 5-0 song, very funny and a stress reducer. The views and the turns were spectacular. The hour trip “flew” and we recommend it to anyone who is going to any island in Hawaii.

My husband and I took this trip and really enjoyed it. The staff when we arrived was a little preoccupied, but as they processed the guests, they became more talkative and friendly. In fact, it seemed like the more I visited, the friendlier they became. So often when dealing with the public, you aren't treated well. The pilot was nice and we were able to see all but one valley on our tour. Unfortunately, clouds had moved in and made it unsafe. The views from above were amazing. I appreciated how the pilot took the time to make sure both sides of the helicopter received great views. He also did a great job talking us through the bumpier part of the flight and worked at reassuring a few of the really nervous passengers. I would go on another tour and see more of the island if I ever get back to Maui.

Went on the big island spectacular from Waikoloa with Greg O as our pilot. Helicopter was roomy- air conditioner blows better from the inner seats and the view is still fantastic. Views of Kilauea lava and Waimanu falls were gorgeous!! Excellent commentary and music by the pilot. Expensive, but worth every penny!

It was cloudy so we detoured but were satisfied. We saw Oprah's house and private road, and where Jurassic Park was filmed. Lots more.

I would highly recommend this helicopter tour! It was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. You start out flying under the clouds through the 5,000 foot high valley and mountains in West Maui. The tour then circles back to the East where you can see the last lava flows on the Island. You then land at a small cottage on top of one of the mountains where champagne is served and you can get a few cool pictures of the Island from above. From there the pilot takes you up to 9,000 feet to see the Haleakala volcano and crater practically in the clouds. He then circles above Hana town and you get to see all the waterfalls and the rain forrests. You get to see the entire Island in about 1 hour 45 minutes. The pilot was excellent, funny and engaging with each guest on a first name basis pointing out all the sights below and giving a lot of history about Maui. It didn't matter which seat you were in because he circled all the hot spots so everyone had a view. This is also one of the only helicopter tours that has a 2 way radio so you can talk with the pilot. Awesome trip worth every penny!!!!!

Two things that are worth the cost of admission in Maui - whale watching (during whale season) and helicopter rides. And if youre looking at helicopter tours, BH is such a great option. Their aircraft is new, up to date and super comfortable. Their pilots (at least ours) are top notch. We were not only provided a smooth, fun and exciting flight but one that was filled with substantial and intriguing information (not just the same old boring script read from a cruise line manual). The pics on their website speak foe themselves - stunning. And the data port video take homes are so cool. My wife thought we'd never watch those things again but we've actually had a blast revisiting our trip from the comfort of our Colorado home. It was so much fun. Highly recommended!

I had no idea what I was getting us into when I booked, but I knew I wanted this to be a dream trip for our family. We did the 30-minute West Maui tour. The helicopter was roomy. My kids got to sit in the front with the pilot. The headphones block engine noise and play lovely music while allowing everyone to communicate throughout the tour. I wish I could tell you the name of our pilot. He was fantastic, engaging, and knowledgeable. I should have taken a Dramamine, but getting sick did not ruin it for me. They provide a "comfort bag" ;) and a wet wipe for just such an occasion. My family didn't even know I got sick (thank you, engine noise). The pilot did, because he noticed the lemon scent when I opened the wet wipe, but he was kind about it, and we just kept going on the most amazing tour. Sorry if this is a little too graphic, but it really made a difference to me, and it may put someone else at ease who is hesitant to go. Go for it! We didn't buy the video, but we took our own photos and videos, and I will enjoy looking at them for years to come. Amazing experience.

Incredible 50 min tour of Molokai and West Maui. Able to see elephant island. Molokai cliffs, massive waterfalls, area of Jurassic Park filming. Back over to Maui and overfly Ka'anapali Beach area, then over Maui mountains back to airport. Dean great pilot, very smooth, very informative. Whole operation very organized and safe. Definitely recommend!

Our tour was amazing really good pilot explained what was doing and why we saw tall cliffs and waterfalls to manta rays and turtles in the sea thanks

Amazing adventure worth every penny. Highly professional and courteous staff at the Maui operation. Would highly recommend them and this adventure. Great way to kick off our week in Maui.
