Great way to see a lot of the island in 45 mins! Our experience was consistent with many of the others. Originally scheduled for Haleakala & Hana, but was diverted to West Maui & Molokai due to weather, which was still a great experience. Weather above Haleakala is so unpredictable, so be prepared to reschedule or to be diverted if necessary. If you really have your heart set on Haleakala & Hana, I suggest making an appointment at the beginning of your trip. That way, you can reschedule for later in the trip if weather doesn't cooperate. Our guide was Eric, who was pleasant and a very good local knowledge of the islands. We would definitely return again and/or recommend Blue Hawaiian!

We did the 2 hour tour in Big Island and loved it so much (5 star tour) we decided to do this one too. There was no comparison. The volume on the headsets was poor. We could barely hear the pilot. I told her before flight and the volume was to full capacity. Neither of us could hear her well. The sights were beautiful but almost half of this tour is spent crossing the water to Molokai! Because if this you would expect great information when over the land. She spent more time talking about the whales and how amazing they are. They aren't here this time of year! We should have heard about what is here now! Compared to the awesome tour we had on the Big Island we were very disappointed in this one. I would not repeat or recommend this one.

My daughter and I took the 50-minute helicopter ride over West Maui and Molokai and were impressed by the spectacular scenery. We took a helicopter tour of Kauai a few years ago and thought nothing could beat it, but the stunning cliffs and waterfalls on the north side of Molokai are more than a match. Our pilot made sure the ride was full of "oh wow" moments, positioned the helicopter to provide close-up camera angles for passengers on both sides, and answered our questions cheerfully. We were also impressed by the friendly professionalism of the Blue Hawaiian staff. We needed a tour that could provide a chair lift for disability access to the helicopter, and the staff had everything set up so that getting on and off the helicopter went very smoothly. This level of service makes all the difference -- much appreciated!

We were lucky to have front seats on the eco helicopter. Views of my life, visual impressions were comparable to New Zealand Fiordland. That was the most memorable experience on Hawaii for me. Rain, fog/clouds, sun, rainbows above and under, big mystic waterfalls so close... Breathtaking! Worth every penny, I would go again! THANKS!

We really enjoyed this trip! It allowed us to see the entire island of Maui, especially things we wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise. We originally didn't book the trip that included a landing mid flight but were upgraded for free. I tell you it was the highlight of the trip. If I had to do it over again, I would book the trip with the stop and pay for it. Like the others have said, call them locally and you will get a better deal based on their available seats. Thanks!

My parents gifted my husband and I with a helicopter tour of West Maui and Molokai for our honeymoon. WOW, what an incredible experience. Blue Hawaiian is reasonably priced and will give you an amazing experience you will never forget. We arrived 45 minutes before flight (as told to do) wearing dark colors (so they don't reflect off the glass and interfere with photographs). We were then weighed (DON'T WORRY, you can't see the number-- plus who the heck wants to see that number while they are on vacation with all that delicious Hawaiian food!?). They weigh you so they can balance the helicopter. You then watch a short 5 minute safety video and put on your life jackets (think fanny pack). You then get a seat assignment and wait with your small group to board your helicopter. Each helicopter seats 6 + pilot. Chase, our helicopter pilot was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island and the sites. When he wasn't sharing information, he played great island music that broadcasted through our headphones (I loved this). The other staff at Blue Hawaiian were also awesome and very accommodating. They offer to take your picture in front of the helicopter (you don't even have to ask!). There are no gimmicks, up selling, etc-- just an amazing time with excellent service. They even offer great coffee and free lockers to store your belongings! Seeing the island by helicopter is the only way folks! We will definitely book a tour again through Blue Hawaiian on our next visit to Maui!

I took the tour of West Maui and Molokai and it was great. Lots of amazing views and the pilot was providing us with neat facts throughout. Highly recommend booking through Blue Hawaiian!

We had two different tours planned but neither of them came off as planned. One was canceled completely and the other was cut short by weather. The helicopters boast that they have theater seating which allows a good view for all and that is true. What becomes difficult to impossible is to take pictures from anything but the window seats.

Chase our pilot was amazing... I was very nervous starting out, but it was the best experience I could have wished for... I felt very safe and the views were amazing... I loved the waterfalls and the scenery!!

We did the Eco Star full island and we loved every minute if it. It was beautiful to see the islands and waterfalls, and our pilot Rick was knowledgable and fun! Worth every penny.

We took a helicopter ride in Maui 15 years ago on our honeymoon with Blue Hawaiian & just came back to do it again with our kids. It was incredible once again. The views are breathtaking & you see so much that you could never see on land. We did the full island tour. We saw several waterfalls, gorgeous valleys, cliffs, coastlines... We even got to play over a rainbow between cliffs. The pictures are amazing. This is another must-do on any trip to Maui.

We booked the 90 minute tour. Upon check in we were informed that due to poor weather, we would not be touring east Maui, but instead would be adding Molokai to the tour. The northern shore and sea cliffs are legendary and did not disappoint. Having lived on Kauai for eight years and having enjoyed dozens of helicopter tours, I did not have great expectations for the Maui tour. Boy was I wrong!!! The tour was amazing and incredibly memorable. As a resident of Maui, an air tour with Blue Hawaiian would be in my top three "must dos" for anyone visiting Maui. The staff was most helpful and our pilot Chase was exceptional. Very professional pilot and made everyone on the helicopter feel comfortable and welcome. Outstanding experience!!!

I took my Granddaughter with me for our helicopter experience. It was amazing! The views were awesome! We took the West Maui Rainforest, Falls and Molokai tour. Our pilot, Tim, gave us a bit of education while on our tour. The sights are something you can't see anyway but from up high. So happy we took the tour! We will remember this always.

There is no way to fully explain the beauty of this tour. They offer a DVD of your individual tour so make sure you do not pass that up. You will watch it over and over. The pilot was great and the places we went were just WOW from 2000 foot water falls to the grand canyon of the pacific. Even the water falls that was used on Fantasy Island

They say "do one thing a day that scares you." On June 27, that "thing" for me was this helicopter trip. And it was sooooo worth it. From the moment we walked in the door, the staff was fantastic. We were a last minute booking, thanks to a snafu at another company. Blue Hawaiian got us on a flight within 30 minutes, and it couldn't have been better. The pilot had a great personality and was knowledgeable and entertaining. The helicopter was comfortable and spotless. Of course, the views were breathtaking. I highly recommend the tour for anyone and highly highly recommend Blue Hawaiian.
