My 14 year old nieces were visiting Hawaii for the first time and I was intent on blowing their minds. The top of the list was to take a helicopter tour of the volcanoes on the Big Island that are inaccessible by car and dangerous to hike, so the helicopter was the logical choice. My wife and I had never taken a helicopter tour so it was a bonus for us as well. Blue Hawaiian has a wonderful reputation and they did not disappoint. They are clearly a very professional operation. Their equipment appears very well maintained, staff is friendly and the pilot was highly skilled and a great pilot. The ride was very smooth and the pilot was attentive to giving all passengers excellent views and camera angles of the sites we saw. My only complaints are that we were not informed until on the flight that we would not be able to fly over the Kilauea caldera due to flight restrictions imposed by the National Park Service. I did not ask a lot of details ahead of time about the route, so some of the blame for not knowing this is my fault. Also, the pilot, though an excellent pilot seemed a little confused or uninformed about some of the facts about Hawaii and the park. I think he was fairly new with the company. Overall, though I wouldn't let these small disappointments stop you from going. It was a great tour, very safe and comfortable and an overall memorable experience. Enjoy!

Captain Jason Trask, as well Captain Barrett are awesome flight instructors, and I simply loved my EC130B4 flight training. I just passed my EC130B4 check ride and now I am part of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Ohana (family).I will give my best to be part of the best Tour Company in the USA. So happy here. Words are not enough. I have flown over the Amazon Jungle, Offshore Oil Rig Platforms for so many years but nothing compares to natural wonders in Hawaii. What a paradise to be living and working. I feel blessed for this opportunity that just a few pilots had in their whole life. The BHH flight tour around Big Island is amazing, magnificent, spectacular and awe-inspiring. I loved the views of the Caldera, Pu'u 'O'o Vent, Lava Flow into the ocean at Kamokuna entry point, Waipio Valley, Waterfalls everywhere, which made me feel like the pilot in the movie " Jurassic Park" . I am a pilot but it took my breath away. I am feeling very blessed by Heavenly Father today. July, 19 2017.

We took four people on the two hour flight to see the volcanos and water falls! Shane was our pilot and he was a great guide and excellent pilot! He made sure that both side of the helicopter got to see all the wonderful sites! Definitely worth the cost and would recommend. The entire staging crew was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Can't wait to see the video of our flight!

We've been visiting the Big Island for over 40 years, making the drive to Hilo & the volcanoes via the Parker Ranch & the Hamakua coast numerous times. So different flying out of Waikoloa! So many waterfalls dropping into the sea from this approach. Enjoyed every minute.

We took a helicopter tour of the Kohala Coast with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and it was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island. There was a lot of vog in the air when we first took off but it added another dimension to our trip that we did not have when things cleared up later. Our spectacular flight took us over the "Shark Fins", by Waipio Valley and Pololu Valley and into Waimanu Valley with its numerous waterfalls, some of which plunge thousands of feet down the cliffs. We also flew along the cliffs by the shoreline . There were great views of the transitions from desert to green fields to rain forests to the steep walled cliffs of the valleys and the coastline and over a large cinder cone. We were able to get several great photos. I have wanted to do a flight like this after having seen many film/video segments of this coast from the air over a few decades now. The ride was very smooth and our pilot was a super guide, some times circling a view to ensure we got to see it from all angles. I definitely want to do this again on my next visit to the Big Island.

What a wonderful experience!! Our pilot Mark was awesome! He was kind, informative and professional! This is a great way to see the island!

Our pilot Jack gave us a great experience.

Very good!

Wish we could've given this trip another star. Absolutely stunning-to imagine what birds see every day. Speechless. Thank you, Shaye!

Excellent. double thumps up. Thx million to Roddy.

This was our first time on a helicopter. It was FANTASTIC. The staff is very knowledgeable and they make sure they show you as much of the island as possible(We were on the Big Island). We felt safe the entire time and would love to do it again one day!

Our pilot, Brody, was AMAZING! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We learned so much about the island, and the flight was fantastic. My husband was a little nervous, but he made us feel safe and definitely knew his way around the island! We will be recommending this tour to our friends! THANK YOU!!

Ride was awesome. And our pilot was even more awesome. Handled questions from my 7 and 9 year old grandkids great. They really felt part of the experience. Brent was our pilots name. Again, excellent experience all around.

Rick our pilot was awesome. Very friendly, and very informative. This is definitely a must-do here in Hawaii.

Dear Brody, I really enjoyed this once in a lifetime experience. This was a breathtaking beautiful view that I will remember for a lifetime. Thank you for taking us there.
