Helicopter tours are expensive. For many it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. So when you take a tour you want to make sure the experience is memorable. Blue Hawaiian makes sure its guests get the most out of their flight. Our first scheduled flight was cancelled due to weather. We saw other companies flying off into the cloudy sky. Blue Hawaiian chose to cancel rather than fly in less than ideal conditions. Appreciated them doing this. We were able to reschedule our flight. Conditions were much better on our 2nd try. Had a wonderful flight we will remember forever. I am giving only 4 stars due to the nature of helicopter tours in general and not Blue Hawaiian specifically. Helicopter tours are expensive and weather is unpredictable. 5 stars for Blue Hawaiian if weather was perfect. That may be unfair, but tours are expensive. So my advice, if possible, wait to book to get as perfect weather conditions as possible.

Amazing flight with Brandon. Entertaining and informative. We loved every minute of it and it flew by very quickly. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

We absolutely knew we had to do a helicopter tour for our 40th anniversary trip to Maui. I had looked at many of the companies that offered a tour. I chose Blue Hawaiian because they were simply rated the best. They might have been a little more expensive than some but really.....it was well worth it. From the individual headphones to the microphones we each had to communicate and hear with. It was worth it!!! We decided to do the EcoStar and the Hana/Haleakala tour. It seems like the stars aligned for us as we were lucky enough to get the two front seats with our pilot Barrett! What a thrill! It was the adventure of a lifetime and we are so happy we chose Blue Hawaiian Helicopter. We chose to purchase the tour we were on too. We just had to have a copy of our once in a lifetime adventure!! Mahalo to Barrett. What a great host, pilot and knowledgeable and personable guy!

Brad: He is just the most awesome tour director and pilot. Most informative trip with humour and answering our questions. He knows this trip so well and his flying ability was superb as we dropped into craters and flew close enough to touch the trees beside the waterfalls. Lots of opportunities to take photos and whet our appetite for the DVD. Thanks Brad for the metric references and the stories to remember forever. Cheers and more blue sky in your future. Mahalo.

Geoff, our pilot, was charming, confident and provided wonderful commentary on our aerial journey. What amazing views! My husband was giddy with pleasure with his front seat window view, and I scored the center front seat, so we were fortunate in that respect. But I know for a fact that the Australian couple behind us was just as enamored with the experience as we were. We were on the tarmac on a late Saturday morn, when they canceled our first flight due to incoming clouds and low visibility. Of course, we were disappointed, but I took the advice of others and planned for this contingency by booking the flight early in our stay so we could shuffle it if necessary. Two days later, we were up in the air. So worth the wait and reschedule for the right weather!

Excellent experience. Scott our pilot, did a great job of explaining what we where seeing, and the different demographic area's we where flying over. Also saw a lot of whales during our flight along with amazing canyons, waterfalls and coastlines. Would recommend to all. Don't like heights, but was comfortable, smooth and very relaxing. Aloha!

Haven't ever done a helicopter tour before so I can't really compare it to anything else, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Staff and pilot were professional, informative and friendly. Not much we can add that others haven't already said. Admittedly expensive, so probably won't do anything like this again soon, but definately worth it this time.

First rate pilot, and great scenic tour. Not too much to say except it was amazing and we would do it again!

My wife and I were in Hawaii to celebrate our anniversary (41 years). We have been there numerous times but usually stayed with relatives so we never actually did all the things tourists do there. This was the first time we acted like tourists and the excursion with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was a tremendous hit with both of us. Not only did we get to see the island from a different perspective we were totally impressed with the staff; their attentiveness to detail and safety and their professionalism as well as be some of the friendliest people you could. I don't know when we're going back but the helicopter flight will be on the top of our Hawaiian "Bucket List"!!! Mahalo.

I can't say enough about the great experience I had today on the Kohala tour. This was my first time on a helicopter & I felt very safe with Eric. The company really emphasized safety which was very reassuring. He was very knowledgeable about where we were, showing us things that could only be seen by air. It was a fantastic time.

Surprised my family at the last minute and booked this 60min tour - what agreat way to see the best of the Island None of us had flew in a Helicopter before so this was anew experience for all 4 of us.Excellent pilot in Johnathan who displayed a fantastic knowledge of everything we flew over. The flight was smooth and we saw the beach and corals from a view point that you only see on t.v. Forget the price this is a tour that you HAVE to do on your trip to Honolulu.

We flew with Julie and our trip was AMAZING! One of our favorite things during our 9 day stay on Oahu! It was my daughters first helicopter flight and also mine. I would definitely do this one again. We flew over Oahu and saw the most amazing scenery that could NEVER be seen by car or bus. I would do this again in a heartbeat! Thank you Blue Hawaiian! And thanks to the great video Blue Hawaiian took of our trip we have our own personal memories that can be relived anytime we want! I highly recommend purchasing the video! Only $25 and worth every penny! You will never see Pearl Harbor the way we saw it if you don't fly over! This helicopter tour is a must when visiting Oahu.

We had a great trip and the scenery was fabulous! I wish the weather had cooperated more though but never the less it was great. Pilot Chris was good and very informative. We would definately do this again!

Maybe I'm partial, but I did my homework, and Blue Hawaiian is the BEST. Our pilot, Barrett, is a native of Kauai, and his wonderful, funny and laid back narrative fit in perfectly with the music and SPECTACULAR scenery. This is the only way to see the whole island...we drove the road both ways more than once and up to the top of Waimea, but this helicopter ride was the highlight of our trip. Just amazing, and we will never forget how well we were treated by everyone (thank you for the follow up email, Patti), but esp. our pilot, Barrett, you ROCK! Thank you, Blue Hawaiian (I'm sorry I can't name you all, but everyone I dealt with was super nice), for taking such good care of these first time visitors! Kauai is God's own paradise, and seeing it by air is a splurge well worth taking. Call Blue Hawaiian for the time of your life!!!

All Helicopter rides had been canceled prior to ours due to poor weather conditions. Our Pilot Steve wanted to give it a shot to see if the weather had changed near our tour destination. Although we would have loved to seen the Kohala Coast today, safety was more important to all of us. We did end up getting a helicopter ride just unable to reach the destination due to poor weather conditions. The Polite said Quality Over Quantity, and safety first! Since we did not reach our destination we did receive a full refund and we still were able to be in the air for a good 30 minutes to witness some of the coast and Island. Our Pilot made the ride enjoyable and entertaining and I would recommend them to anyone. Hopefully we can get back to the island soon and we will book through Blue Hawaiian again!
