Our pilot was Mike G. My wife was very scared to go on as a first timer. He assured her she will enjoy and made her feel comfortable. Thank you to the whole team!! It was all worth it!!
Had a fabulous helicopter experience. The staff was cordial and friendly and the pilot - Greg was a rock-star. His demeanor, dialogue and even singing added a unique element to the experience. The pointers on where to look and obtain photos made the trip worthwhile. One note - it's great a video can be purchased, but would suggest cameras be mounted on the exterior of the helicopters. When taking some pictures, reflections can distort picture quality. This does not diminish the stellar experience this is.
We were in Maui for a week. We drove the road to Hana and got up for sunrise at Haleakala. Our trip on Blue Hawaiian was definitely the trip favorite of everyone. From check in and review of safety features to the narration of our pilot Derek this was a trip not to be missed. Thank you Blue Hawaiian for giving us a new perspective of Maui!!!
Because of my physical challenges-wheelchair bound--traveling can be difficult. Blue Hawaiian was excellent in assisting me in and out of the helicopter. They listened to my needs and were thoughtful in their actions. The helicopter ride was awe-inspiring. Our pilot shared Hawaii's beautiful culture and scenery and made our group of 5 feel welcomed. The staff from beginning to end were efficient, knowledgeable and fun. It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend!
We had no idea the tour would be so unbelievable! We knew it would be beautiful, but we were completely blown away. The Big Island Spectacular is worth the money -- you get incredible views of all the highlights of the island. We got amazing shots over Kilauea and of the incredibly tall waterfalls near the coastline. Our pilot, Shane, was very friendly and gave us excellent information about the history of the island and the geology. The staff were all very friendly as well, and gave us good info about what to bring and what to leave behind. The helicopter was climate-controlled and there were great views from every seat (and Shane made sure both sides of the helicopter got time looking at all the sights. We loved the tour so much, the first thing we did when we got back home from our vacation was to watch the video of the tour! It is worth mentioning that the music we were listening to on the tour stopped at the exact moment we touched down -- the whole experience was professional and well-run.
Ben was an great pilot full of knowledge. The views were amazing. The staff were friendly to deal with thank you. Loved It!
Beautiful ride with best crew, felt totally at ease and welcomed. Best way to explore hawaii and worth every penny. I just wishes we landed at one of the waterfalls
This was an amazing tour. Well worth the money. Our family loved everything about this ride. The staff and pilot were great and we just loved it!
We did the Maui Spectacular ride with Blue Hawaiian. It was our first time on a helicopter, and Tim our pilot could not have made us more comfortable and safe. Not to mention extremely knowledgeable about the island and a wonderful tour guide. We highly recommend this company and this particular tour- it makes a quick stop/landing in the middle of a ranch, which was definitely worth it.
Best helicopter tour on the island. I fly in helicopters for a living and still enjoyed this experience. Tour guide/pilot, Benjamin, was experienced pilot and was very knowledgeable about the island. He was safe but also made sure both sides of the aircraft could see everything. The video recorded was also a great purchased and allows us to relive the experience. The office staff that greeted us and performed our safety briefing were also amazing. Spend the money and do the tour. You won't regret it!! Also, wear dark clothing so you can take great pictures. Otherwise you will get your reflection in the windows in every picture!
Tour was extra special, absolutely stunning, and extremely well run - would happily do again! We even got a USB drive with a full video of our tour for later
This was an amazing trip! We were originally supposed to do the full island flying over the volcanoes but because of lighting over the volcanoes that morning it was canceled. We were bummed as I really wanted to see as much of a live crater as possible. We decided to take this trip instead and it was fantastic! Our pilot was wonderful! HIs knowledge of the island was great. It was obvious that he was in awe of the beauty of the island as much as we. We did the waterfall landing since the whole package was still cheaper than our original plan and I am really glad we did. One of the best parts has been to get the video as part of the trip. I get to relive the experience over and over by watching the video. There is no way a camera can capture all the sights and sounds that the video could show. I would highly recommend it!
Worth every penny! An absolute bucket list item for me and definitely a huge highlight of our vacation for all four of us. The views are incredible and you get to see so much of the island that is inaccessible otherwise. Staff and pilot were calm, professional and knowledgeable and we felt very safe the entire time.
Five (5) Stars is not enough!! Words can't describe this experience. A MUST!!! Once in a lifetime. Matt was awesome!! Staff at front desk great. Do it, you won't regret it!
For us this was an amazing experience. Mat, our pilot was super cool and very professional. Felt safe and we learned a lot. The waterfall landing was unreal, won’t spoil it for future visitors but it’s a real memory treat. Thanks Mat, great job 👏. Barrie and Sue. 19 Nov 22 Definitely recommend Blue Hawaiian.
