I've been on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters previously and both times they have been excellent experiences. They start you off with a safety video then put you into seats assigned primarily for the best weight distribution. Matt was our pilot. Everyone was very friendly. This location was 5 minutes from our Hilton resort. It helps if you wear black clothing to cut down on the reflections when taking photos through the windows. Depending on the position of the helicopter you may have to wait for the right shots. Matt was very good about moving the aircraft around so everyone could take photos. They make a video of your flight that you can purchase when you get back (for about $60). It's a good memory. Moving your camera (I used my Samsung S10+ for my camera and it worked great) around near the glass to find a good reflection free shot also helps. I found the closer to the glass I held my camera the better. Matt explains a lot to you and you use the hand held microphones to ask questions and communicate with him (and others) when flying. This is a great adventure. I got some good photos which are now hanging on my wall at home. Highly recommended.

It was something to behold! Flying over water, then mountains, then in through the valleys to see numerous waterfalls, it was quite breathtaking to say the least.

Entire staff were fantastic. Professional and courteous. Shane the pilot did a great job of describing the the views, and helping us get the most out of the experience.

We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this business. All staff is friendly and professional. We definitely felt we were in good hands. Our pilot was knowledgeable, interesting and friendly. He managed to engage my sons (ages 11 an 8) in conversations. Everyone loved the flight, the scenery, and the entire experience.

We weren't necessarily going to do this tour, but some friends recommended and I'm glad they did. The staff was very well prepared, the safety information well-done, and everyone was very friendly. But that's not why you're reading. The tour is absolutely stunning. You start off heading to the east/northeast and see views of lush farmland before approaching deep rainforest valleys, where you go down into places that are extremely difficult to see by land -- watching waterfalls flow from the clouds down a cliffside. Then you come out to the coast and see just how beautiful the Big Island is. Light and dark blue waters, pristine and barely touched beaches and waterfalls running through the cliffs into the ocean below. The ride is extremely smooth and the pilot (Greg) was very knowledgeable, funny, and had the right balance of storytelling and just letting you enjoy the scenery. 100% recommend this if you're on the Big Island.

Kai and Blue Hawaiian tours were spectacular! Janie, our on-ground assistant, was so helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome! The flight was a bucket list item and did not disappoint! The coastline is beyond amazing and Kai provided a wonderful commentary as well as encouraging questions. A memory to be treasure for sure!

My daughter and I enjoyed seeing the Big Island from the air. Blue Hawaiian Helicopter pilots and staff were so kind and accomodating. In our experience, our flight had to turn around for safety concerns and they added a flight the next day to accommodate us. I appreciate their wisdom and how they took care of us. Once the weather cooperated, we had a terrific adventure!

Our pilot and guide--Greg--was top notch. He was professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and attuned to all of his guests, especially with my tween daughter. I value that Greg has years of experience as a pilot with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, which showed in his professionalism and comfortable interaction with guests, and is a long-term resident of the Big Island, part of the community. For these helicopter tours, the pilot/guide is not only safely "delivering" you to sites, but s/he is a critical part of *making* the experience-- the knowledgeable explanations, the informative yet comfortable conversation, and the creative soundtrack that complements some of the viewing. I think it would be too easy to do some or all of this wrong, distracting from the experience. Greg did all of this so *right*, on top of his core responsibilities as a pilot. I had considered paying less at a competitor (and also skip the amazing landing right at the waterfall), and I know now that would have been a big mistake. This experience was a highlight of our trip--an expensive trip that won't be repeated for years, if ever--and Greg and the Blue Hawaiian setup together made this an awesome experience and exceptional memory.

My two daughters and I went on a northern 80 minute tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter this past Saturday. It was our last full day on the big island and it actually took me the whole 10 days we were there to talk my daughter’s into agreeing to go. Matt was our pilot and he was great. He was informative and talked to us the whole time. There was some major wind that day and the ride was still great. We got to see parts of the island that otherwise we’d never get to see. I would definitely use Blue Hawaiian again. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Seriously amazing views and very comfortable. Our pilot, Kai, put us at ease and got us close to some incredible waterfalls. We ended up buying the video package. I really recommend just enjoying the ride and getting the video package instead of trying to video and take photos while flying, it diminishes the experience. Highly recommend, I want to go back and do a longer tour now!!

Fantastic experience! This was our first helicopter tour. Pilot and staff were great! We will definitely do this again.

WOW! This was an incredible trip and our pilot Greg Fredericks was wonderful. Blue Hawaiian lived up to their #1 ranking. Seeing magma from above was sooo cool, but for me the trip along the coast & into the valley with 1,000-2,000 ft. waterfalls was TOPS -- it was beyond anything I could've imagined and wish I could go back again and again. I cried, it was so beautiful and cry every time I re-watch it. YES, spend the extra $40 and get the recording of your trip. The waterfall landing was the icing and cherry on top...SPECTACULAR!

booked the 09.15 spectacular tour. Turned up on the first day but was cancelled due to weather. Re-booked with no problem for the same time next day. Blue Hawaian picked us up from the hotel which was very convenient. First time in a helicopter. We had the front seats which was brilliant. our pilot was Melinda who was great - friendly, informative and put all at their ease. The flight was smooth and the sights amazing. Melinda got us so close to the lava, waterfalls and important sights and we felt so safe we could concentrate fully on the views - it made the experience. She made sure everyone had a view and a photo opportunity. The lava was incredible to see and had been my main purpose for going but the trip up the valleys and the waterfalls were something else - truly breathtaking. you see tthings you wouldn't access by car or only with hours of trekking. 2 hours flew (sic) by and even the flight back to waikaloa looking down the coast to our hotel was fantastic. the music in the headphones was well chosen for each part of the trip and we could ask Melinda questions re sights etc via microphone when needed. This is not cheap but i have to say it's worth every cent. Don't think about it just do it. An experience you will never forget.

Went on the flight first thing this morning and it was great. My wife and have learned on tours like this the pilot, driver or guide makes all the difference in the world. Chase our pilot did a FANTASTIC job! The passenger list included my wife and myself from the Midwest, an older Japanese couple and a young family from Toronto who had two lap children and Chase was able to interact and tried to connect with everyone. Not an easy task. His knowledge of the Island and the history of the various volcano eruptions was very helpful. In addition his focus to make sure he maneuvered the helicopter so all passengers got see the numerous waterfalls and glowing lava put the SPECTACULAR in the tour. Great job Chase! Our only disappointment was we waited till our 5th trip to the Big Island to the flight. Mahalo to Chase and all the ground personnel.

We took the Big Island Spectacular flight, first flight was cancelled due to weather, but had no issue rescheduled. Chase was our pilot, tour started by heading to Volcano National Park and we were able to see the lava bubbling, it was super cool. Then we headed to the coast and saw the most amazing waterfalls. Chase was full of information and a fantastic pilot. Highly recommend, great way to see the island!
