Incredible journey and sights. 90 minutes was amazing from start to finish!

Incredible, unforgettable experience. Any nerves we had before the tour disappeared the moment we took off. Chewy struck the perfect balance between keeping things light and delivering fascinating information. I would do this again and again — it was truly the highlight of our trip. The experience was absolutely indescribable… ethereal in every sense. Mahalo Amanda Harrington

My mother and I had the pleasure of experiencing the "Discover Hilo" tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters this past Monday (7/28/25). It was truly amazing! There is no better way to see the extent of the lava flows, both new and old, except from above in a helicopter. Everyone at Blue Hawaiian was fantastic. Our ground crew of Eric and Julianna made us feel welcome and comfortable as soon as we arrived until we walked back to the car. Eric even shared some welcome tips on hiking trails in the Hilo area for a future visit! Our pilot, David (aka "Chewie"), was a real treat. He was not only personable, but extremely knowledgeable about everything he flew us to see. He even took an extra opportunity to climb a bit so a young girl on our flight could get a better view of Mauna Loa. Highly recommend this tour and company if you're looking for this type of experience on your vacation! We will definitely use Blue Hawaiian again.

Fantastic. Excellent service, fascinating viewing. We had a great time. Strongly recommended!

Greg and the flight were fantastic! Hard to describe how cool and special this place is. Jeff G.

Unforgettable Helicopter Ride with Matt – A Breathtaking Experience! If you’re even considering a helicopter tour, stop what you’re doing and book it now—especially if you have the chance to fly with Matt as your pilot. From the moment we lifted off the ground, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who not only knew the land but loved it. Matt greeted us like old friends, and his easygoing, genuine personality immediately put everyone at ease. He wasn’t just a pilot; he was a storyteller, a guide, and honestly, the kind of person you wish you could hang out with after the tour.

By far the best experience on Kaui. The pilot Iseya was very knowledgeable and friendly as well.

Flying with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was amazing and a big highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Our pilot, Dale, was very informative and taught us so much about the island and its landmarks. This experience was fantastic and very unique- I highly recommend!!

It was a satisfying 50 minutes and very entertaining.

Incredible experience. Barrett was informative and professional. Only way to see Kauai!

Very good trip!

I like it because the captain is friendly, the counter is friendly, the people are friendly, the helicopter is safe, and they smile a lot. I like the explanations. They are friendly.

Our helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian was absolutely incredible—an unforgettable way to experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauai. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and awe-inspiring. We took our flight around 10 a.m., which ended up being perfect timing. It had rained heavily earlier that morning, but by the time we lifted off, the skies had cleared—revealing countless waterfalls (we saw over 30!), including the iconic Jurassic Park waterfall. The recent rain made the landscape even more dramatic, and flying into the Valley of the Kings and along the stunning Napali Coast was absolutely breathtaking. Our pilot was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and courteous. They made sure everyone had a chance to see each point of interest, rotating and pointing out highlights so that no one missed a moment. Their skill and attention made the entire flight feel smooth, safe, and enjoyable. As a larger person, I was required to purchase the courtesy seat, and I have to say—it made for a very comfortable and enjoyable ride. I appreciated the consideration for both safety and comfort. We also purchased the in-flight video, and it’s been such a joy to relive the experience and share it with friends and family. If you’re considering a helicopter tour on Kauai, I can’t recommend Blue Hawaiian highly enough—they helped create one of the most memorable moments of our trip.

Wow 🤩 this bucket list experience for our family was phenomenal. Appreciate the professionalism of everyone from check-in to departing, plus making it fun and interesting even through the safety briefing. Ryan, our pilot, shared great stories and information plus had an awesome 😎 playlist. Appreciate his banter (cuz you know pilots like to chatter) and his favorite places list. Mahalo and thanks for letting us feel like Ohana. Aloha!

Amazing experience! It was a beautiful tour filled with so much info. Our pilot, Chris, was amazing. We were a little nervous before the trip since this was the first time in a helicopter for us, but we felt so comfortable and safe. The crew on the ground were so kind and helpful as well. 100% recommend and would do it again.
