Incredible and priceless experience.

Incredible experience...HIGHLY recommend splurging for a flight over the volcano. Greg was a fantastic pilot...knowledgeable, friendly, SMOOTH !! My son and I had an AMAZING experience!!

I flew with Blue Hawaiian last week for their Big Island Spectacular with waterfall landing. I went by myself and wanted the full experience so I upgraded to the front passenger seating, which I highly recommend by the way! Hans was our pilot and I had the best time! He was really informative, and made sure we had great views of the sites! When he flew us over the valleys, our whole group had goosebumps, it was so amazing! The waterfall landing was a nice break as well since it’s their longest tour (2hrs). I’ve done a helicopter tour in Kauai and a doors off in Maui with different companies, and thanks to Hans, this tour is now one of my favorite experiences!

The Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour was amazing! Duke was a fantastic pilot !!! The entire experience was euphoric !!! Thank you so much for the once in a lifetime adventure!!

Absolutely breathtaking!! Derek Schmitt (our pilot), was incredible and very knowledgeable about the land, people and culture. Couldn’t have asked for a better pilot!! Mahalo, Derek!!

Just has a flight with Derek and it was amazing!!! We had such a great time and he was a super nice guy. Highly recommend this :)

Great experience! The view is one of a kind!!

Amazing! Pilot Ethan did a great job!

Fortunately, the volcano was erupting when we arrived, so we were able to see it. I'll do it again next time!

Ethan took us on a wonderful flight over the Big Island. The highlight of course was the erupting volcano, and Ethan did a great job making sure both sides of the helicopter had ample time to see everything!

Wonderful experience!

The Blue Hawaiian Helicopter was absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! The entire process was incredibly professional and beyond enjoyable. It is a "Must Do" adventure while in Hilo!!!

Ethan was a fantastic tour guide, and as a pilot myself, I felt completely safe and confident in his airmanship. Seeing the island and the volcano from this vantage point was indescribably beautiful! I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy many places and activities throughout my life, and this one truly tops the list of most exhilarating and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

I sat next to the daughter with her parents. Both parents were sick during the tour. It's too bad they don't sell the wrist bands for motion sickness. The sites were incredible to see from above. I was touring the Napali coast by boat earlier in the week. Seeing the Napali coast by air just completes the view of the island. It is unfortunate that Blue Hawaii refuses to take cash to purchase the video but expects you to tip in cash for the pilot. Credit cards charge 4%, you would think a smart business person would want to increase their profits for customers who want to pay cash instead of turning them away with finality.

Derek was the best pilot and has an amazing love for the land and knowledge of the history. My wife and I highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!
