I cannot say enough about blue Hawaiian helicopter tors in Oahu. The staff totally rocks, the pilot totally rocked. My two sons; 21 and 17 took the 45 minute tour, they were so happy and had a fantastic experience while up in the air with the pilot. They enjoy history so much and being able to see Pearl Harbor and how the Japanese were able to invade Oahu, brought them so much joy and knowledge. The pilot took them on the path that the Japanese used when they bombed Pearl Harbor. This tour is worth every penny that you will spend, and to see the excitement and joy in my sons faces was worth this trip. Upon arriving at the tour company we were greeted by a true Hawaiian gentleman. He treated my sons like they were kings and I cannot say enough about him. My sons also received a video of their flight trip around Oahu, so spend the extra money and obtain the scan disk, to remember the beautiful sites from above. This is a must do tour! And I wish to thank the gentleman in the photo for everything they did for my sons. Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours totally rocks. Aloha

We really splurged on our anniversary gift to our selves and went with the "Big Island Spectacular" with the additional "waterfall landing" for an additional $150 per person. This option only appeared available on their mobile website. I have to say the big island spectacular was really good, but not sure I would pay $575 per person again for that adventure. I would probably just pay for the waterfalls only. However, with the addition of the Waterfall Landing it was all worth the price. We were able to land in an exclusive and remote area where a huge waterfall filled a pool below. Simply stunning and memorable to say the least. We went in mid-August so our first reservation had to be cancelled due to weather over the lava fields. Apparently this was a frequent occurrence as several other folds were rumbling of this as well. If you want to do this tour around hurricane season, do it early in your trip and ensure you have some spare days to reschedule if need be.

This company was recommended to us and we are glad we listened. I am passing on the recommendation with full endorsement. We pre-booked from Australia on their website and whenever I phoned they were so helpful. I booked three trips but the one in Honolulu was rained off. We were actually on the bus collecting other passengers to head to the heliport when the office radioed. The office was very good and offered us a restricted flight, a reschedule or a refund. Unfortunately we had to take the refund due to time limitations. Was so looking forward to flying over Pearl Harbour. Our flight in Hilo was the CIRCLE OF FIRE AND WATERFALLS tour over the Kilauea Volcano and local waterfalls. Very enjoyable and spectacular. The only downside was I had requested front seats when I booked ages in advance but ended up in the back seat. View was not too bad and I did get some good photos. We ordered the video of our trip but the commentary was missing. They offered it to us for free but being silly I never took it. STUPID. The views would have been great still. Our last flight was in Kauai and was the ECO ADVENTURE tour which took us over Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali coastline. Again, spectacular, again in the same seats but when we were in the valley with the waterfalls, visibility was better where I was than in the front. There is a reason for everything. Once again the commentary was missing from our trip but this time I did take the usb for free. On both flights everyone was professional and courteous. The helicopters were clean and looked to be in good condition. The pilots were knowledgeable and entertaining. They even made a lady who turned up in a white top buy a black t-shirt so she did not reflect of the windows and spoil it for the others. It does state to wear dark clothes on the paperwork. Thank you Blue Hawaii but please get your sound recording systems sorted out.

Absolute highlight of The Big Island. Worth every dollar. A very efficient well operated service from check in the take off to landing. Our pilot, Tom, was the best. We couldn't have wished for a better experience. To see and active volcano from above is a big bucket list item ticked off. Even if the volcano isn't erupting, the trip would be unbelievable.

We took our two teenagers on a tour of Maui via a helicopter We were shown through waterfalls , found several whales in the ocean and saw spectacular sights We felt completely safe and the company was highly professional Would recommend this to anyone It's a great adventure and pilots are fantastic Well worth every it !!!

I'm petrified of heights - I don't even go on verandas high up. BUT I loved this. The take off and landing were so smooth, and the whole flight, I couldn't believe it. So since it was a smooth take off and felt like nothing I stayed quite relaxed the whole time and got to enjoy looking out at everything. The pilot is great at helping to calm you down too if you're nervous. We went over the islands active volcano and crater - which is currently flowing and it's an amazing sight to see. You wouldn't see it on foot. But we loved the waterfall / cliff sights we saw and flying in to them was amazing. Quite surreal. Everything was perfect. Don't worry if you are sitting on the outside as our pilot would fly back and make sure both sides got to see all the great sights. It's well worth the money.

Where to start. Gee so much to tell. 2 hour tour worth every cent. Everything explained as we traveled to the volcano and then to actually see the lava so close. Several turns around the top so the 6 passengers could see and not miss anything. Photographers dream. Then to follow the underground lava tube with steam rising from the ground to where the lava was spilling into the sea. Just awesome! Then to fly along the coast and have explanations of the earthquake shifts in the land. Fly up the valley to see waterfalls over a hundred metres drop. You just have to do it!

We thoroughly enjoyed this helicopter ride. The company is spot on professional. Chase, our pilot, was exceptional... Courteous, knowledgeable, heck of a pilot... and we probably won't ever forget his statement about the "comfort bag" in case you feel the Aloha coming... Funny guy. The island is beautiful. Do this if you can!

We booked this tour after a great experience with the sister company for a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon in November. While the Grand Canyon tour was spectacular, the Blue Hawaiian tour was a bit of a disappointment. In all fairness, President Obama was on Oahu the day we were scheduled to tour, and that had a significant impact on our experience (example - unbelievable pre-flight security measures with TSA, and a last-minute flight plan change that reduced the scope of the tour by one-third). The pilot was competent, but did not provide much narrative so we were not really sure what we were looking at. On the plus side, he did fly us into a canyon to view an incredible water fall (don't know which canyon, however), and we followed a whale for a bit.

Our pilot, Coleen, was a great conversationalist and an excellent pilot. We loved the experience and would highly recommend it.

This was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw an active volcano, red, gray, and silver lava, and had a beautiful view of the waterfalls. Our pilot was very knowledgable and had a great sense of humor.

It's a little pricey but well worth it. The views are amazing. And our pilot was excellent and very informative. We were able to show flowing and bubbling lava. Amazing!

What a safe and professional business. Pilot, Miguel, was great. Worth the cost to see places on Kauai that are not accessible.

This is one of the best $500 I've spent in my life. The experience is indescribable and the ride was so smooth. It's like flying on a magic carpet, the views are something that you only experience once in a lifetime. Shay, our pilot was great. He really enjoys his job and he provided an awesome experience. I'm not really for touristy stuff, but this is one you can't miss.

Very friendly and polite staff. Great pilot, fun and knowledgeable. Tour was fantastic. Beautiful scenery. Smooth ride, immaculate helicopter and facility. Very safety conscious. Wear dark clothes for the ride so there isn't any glare for taking pictures. They make you change into a dark tee shirt if you have light color tops on or a shiny top. Worth every penny.
