I’ve always liked helicopters, whether from afar or up close. If I was 70 years, younger, learning to fly would be at the top of my to-do list. Having a chance to take a helicopter flight with blue Hawaiian with the icing on my cake. Flying over KILAUEA after a recent eruption was a magical moment. I loved it. Michael did a great job and upgrading to first class was well worth it.
Mixed Experience - Great Ride, but Rushed Service The helicopter tour itself was fantastic. The views of the Big Island were stunning, and my kids absolutely loved their first helicopter ride. The pilot was skilled and the flight experience lived up to expectations. However, the overall experience felt extremely rushed. We were told before takeoff that we could take photos with the helicopter after the ride, but were given barely a minute once we landed - not nearly enough time to get decent family photos. I also paid extra for the photo and video package. Unfortunately, this was disappointing. They took just one quick pose at the beginning of the ride, and the video was simply from cameras mounted on the helicopter - nothing special or personalized. For the price point, I expected more attention to the photo opportunities, especially since capturing memories is such an important part of these experiences. Bottom line: If you’re going purely for the aerial views and flight experience, you’ll enjoy it. But if professional photos are important to you, manage your expectations or consider bringing your own camera.
5/5 stars! Amazing views and very great experience. Highly recommend for people who go appreciate good site seeing, volcanoes, and waterfalls. As well as island scenery. Very comfortable and air conditioned helicopter. Ask for Mike as your pilot!
My wife and I went to Maui for our honeymoon, and one of the excursions we booked is the “Ultimate Road to Hana by Land & Air”. We had a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Our trip started off with our pilot, Chris, who was very warm and inviting. He made the ride very smooth & fun. We were then greeted by our tour guide, Scott, who gave us a lot of information on everything about East Maui, and Hawaii as a whole. He was so knowledgable and he offered to take so many wonderful photos of us! This trip exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend “Blue Hawaiian Helicopters” to anyone wanting to explore Maui with locals who know everything there is to know about the island.
My favorite part was flying close to the Valley of Kings.
It was my first time riding a helicopter. I never expected it to be so amazing. The scenery was spectacular, the pilot's explanations were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderfulness of helicopter sightseeing.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is great. The staff is amazing. Everyone is very professional and friendly. They know what they are doing treat everyone very well. Our pilot handled the aircraft extremely well. The flight was smooth and very comfortable. The helicopters are clean and very well maintained. The trip was well worth the price.
Shane Beeder was the BEST pilot and tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the island and the details of the landscape. Also, we felt so safe the entire time. We flew Nov. 25th at 8am. Tip: pay the extra for the landing at the waterfall…so worth it!! Also, loved the music chosen for our flight. Highly, highly recommend flying with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!
Excellent experience, professional, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable pilot and crew. The kids had a blast
Today's flight with Capitan Pete was just amazing! Smooth flying, unbelievable views, well organized, everything you might want from a heli trip! We were able to see the center of ancient Maui volcano in the North of the island and other places that one cannot reach by car or foot. I would hifhly recommend the company for any helicopter adventures. Thank you, Blue Hawaiian! Marina
Totally Awesome what away to end our trip.
What an amazing experience! The pilot was so nice and knowledgeable and nothing beats the stunning views. Don’t skip this adventure!
Matt is a fantastic pilot. So nice & great handler of the helicopter!
