I would give this experience ten stars if I could!! It's a bit pricey but well worth it!!! Our pilot was Greg and he was very knowledgable about the island's history and knew everything about where we flew. His narrative combined with the scenery and the onboard music made the trip incredible! Great experience and would highly recommend.

How else can I put it... If you can do this trip,DO IT. I had taken the Kohala tour earlier this year (when I was on business here without the family) and enjoyed it so much that when we decided to spend the holidays on the island, the Big Island trip was my present to the whole family.(Grandma, mom, dad and both two girls, 13 &10.) COVID protocols (temp checks,masks,sanitizer)were well in place and the only time we were allowed to unmask was for the picture you see. After a short safety video and attaching our life vest belts we were off. Little did we know what we had in store. We met our pilot Toshi and were loaded onboard in the seating assignment the had picked. Turns out both girls got front row seats while the adults took the back. My youngest was seated right next to Toshi and he dubbed her the de facto copilot and tour guide. What did she want to see? Where did she want to go? Highlights: *Kilauea awoke days before our arrival. Had the chance to see the lava lake and fountains of lava! *Toshi’s extensive island knowledge and pilot skills. 23 years working for this company, you can tell the man loves his work, and it shows. WHAT AN WONDERFUL TIME HE GAVE OUR FAMILY! He kept joking with my daughter “This waterfall is 800 feet tall, what do you think?” She’d says how cool/awesome it was. “I can tell you’re not impressed, Let’s go find a bigger one!”.😊 The final leg of the trip was so beautiful that it brought our entire family to tears! Simply cannot recommend Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours enough, and if you can book a whole helicopter ask for Toshi! If not and you get lucky enough to get Toshi as your pilot, be ready for the best tour ever!

I could not give this enough stars. It is not cheap but they give you an experience you will never forget. Such beautiful views, knowledgeable pilot, and attentiveness makes this a must do while in Hawaii. Greg was our pilot and he was absolutely amazing at his job and above with being friendly and caring of each passengers comfort and experience! We landed near a waterfall which added to the breath taking adventure.

The are a lot of things people recommend or describe on vacations as "experience of a lifetime" and most are not. This was! What a ride. A two hour tour over amazing waterfalls, volcanic lands, and the active volcano! I was lucky as the sky was clear and the seeing inside the crater was amazing. Outstanding informative pilot, top quality clean and new looking helicopter, a well organized safety/orientation presentation and views that are without equal. One of the best things I have done on a trip, and certainly a huge highlight on the big island.

It wasn't a first for us but if you've never been in a helicopter you just might want to take the two hour trip around the island of Hawaii. The helicopters are clean, comfortable and maintained. From the air you will fly into the valleys, see the spectacular coastline, fly over the volcano and more. We even saw some whales. While the experience isn't cheap, the trip is definitely worth it and if you pay $100 more you can get a front seat. Our pilot, Shane, was interesting and provided a lot of information.

This is not an inexpensive activity, but it's an amazing one! The geology and landscape of this island is incredible, and this trip shows you a lot of it! Our pilot was Marco, and Marco is such a nice guy. He engages with the guests, and is very good about explaining the various aspects of the island - the volcanoes, the various lava flows, waterfalls, valleys, etc. Marco is also good about explaining what's going to happen next (e.g. it's going to get a little bumpy, but it's perfectly safe).

This was the most expensive thing I did on my trip and it was worth every single penny! Seeing the island from the air was incredible. The lava flows, the volcanos, the coastline, the valleys, were all spectacular. The crew at Blue Hawaii was very professional and our pilot was awesome.

Nice pilot and helicopter. Called to book the front seat for myself and GF for the Big Island Spectacular 2h ride (and paying extra) and were provided with several time slots that worked. When we arrived, we were seated in the back middle and window. Pilot and ground crew could do nothing so figured we would address it when we returned. What they didn't disclose was that the 2h trip includes about a 30 min diversion to Hilo airport where you land and change aircraft for 25 min or so. Then the second half of the flight is virtually all flying northerly along the coast so if you're on the starboard side of the aircraft, you mostly will get pictures out to see. When we landed (again), no one was available in the office to speak with. Disappointing and had there been full disclosure, we would have gone another time, taken another operator, etc.

Not sure where to start, other than my family and I had an unbelievable time and want to tell everyone that this is a must do if on the big island. The helicopter was clean and flew very nicely, the music and narration was amazing and what we saw on our flight was breathtaking, words can not describe how amazing it was. A shout-out needs to be made to our pilot Toshi, who was funny, persoanable and made our journey even more special. Thank you Toshi.

If I could I’d leave the 10⭐️ review. This tour is by far one of the best lifetime experiences and it’s worth every dime. We flew next to the volcanos, saw the Akaka falls which indeed are just the baby waterfalls compared to the rest of the waterfalls out pilot flew us by! The view itself was astonishing but the tour wouldn’t be that of an experience if it wouldn’t be to our pilot, Toshy who told us a lot of details in such a passionate way. On top of that during the ride we enjoyed the super appropriately chosen Jurassic park music. Loved, loved, loved this tour and I’d highly recommend it to everybody!

We did the Big Island Spectacular with waterfall landing and OMG! Our pilot, Matthew, was very easy going and offered a great wealth of knowledge about the island the whole way around. We did this at the beginning of our stay and couldn't have planned that better, as it gave us a very high level overview (literally) of the geography of the island, so made getting around the rest of the week pretty simple. I highly recommend the waterfall landing. I've never been that close to the base of the waterfall and experienced such power (pretty much every other waterfall has rails around it so you can't get that close) This was truly an amazing experience, and Matthew took fantastic pictures of us that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

De una forma segura pero emocionante, se avista el cráter en erupción de la isla grande. El tour resulta de las mejores experiencias en la Isla y si estás en Oahu, Maui o alguna otra isla, hay que trasladarse a la Grande para ver el Tour. Realmente recomendable!

Had the pleasure of taking a Blue Hawaiian tour in 2007 and knew that when we returned to the Big Island with our 12 year old son, a tour would be at the top of our list. Did this excursion at the beginning of our stay on the Kona Coast. Shane was our pilot. He was an excellent tour guide and made it comfortable for all (including our sometimes shy 12 year old son) to ask as many questions as they wanted. Would definitely put this high on the list of excursions for those visiting the islands. Have never used another helicopter company in Hawaii, so do not have a point of comparison, but based on our two experiences with Blue Hawaiian, 14 years apart, would not hesitate to recommend them!

This tour is simply amazing! Our pilot, Matt, gave us a very smooth flight and told us much history and information about the sights we saw from above. We were treated to flyover of the US military base shortly after takeoff We were told it is a very rare occurrence to get clearance to fly through their airspace. We had been on a Big island driving tour the previous day so we had seen many of these spots from the ground, but the air perspective was totally different. The views inside of the craters at Volcanos National Park were incredible, as was the peek inside the huge steam vent. Then we flew over to the gorgeous Hamakua Coast and into the stunning valleys along that coast which you can’t see from the ground. The Waimanu Valley in particular was stunning with it’s series of 2,000+ feet tall waterfalls cascading over the cliffs. But the most magical moment of our tour was the landing at a remote waterfall right on the coast - a paradise all our own - for about 20 minutes anyway. Matt was very accommodating of a family photo shoot, and knew which angles to use to get the best shot of the helicopter, family and waterfall all in one image. As a note: I booked this tour when Kilauea was still erupting. When it stopped, I almost cancelled this tour. I'm so glad I didn't. It was incredible even without the eruption.

Such a fun adventure! We had a beautiful day too. We were able to see the lava fields, the volcanos, then head around the coast to see waterfalls and the coastline. We all had a wonderful time and would do it again.
