The whole experience from hotel pick up to the base, the pre flight education and the actual flight was brilliant. Our pilot Julie was fabulous. Chatted the whole way and told us the history of the Island. She ensured both sides of the helicopter got good views of the sites, and was clearly skilled and confident. Loved every minute of it.
This tour was booked thru Apple at Affordable Tours on Seaside AVe.She got us on the same day and this was by far the**** BEST**** Helicopter tour i've been on . The tour was about 45 min long and went around the whole island. The piolet Paul was very polite and pointed out all the island points of interest.JOB WELL DONE. Well worth the price. A MUST DO
Wife was afraid of heights but she loved this. Pilot and staff were comforting and friendly. Highly recommended! Don't miss this!
Great trip, very professional and the pilot was very knowledgeable, the scenery is absolutely amazing
Incredible tour/journey it was tremendous! don't forget to get your tapes of the tour:) Great pilot... very comfortable.... cool.... Beautiful....
What an exciting experience to see the gorgeous Hawaii from the skies!! A must do for visitors who's experiencing Hawaii for the 1st time!!! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
What An Experience To Fly Over Ohau ! I Highly Recommend This After You Have Explored The Island A Bit. The Landmarks are More Clear and Makes it more Fun. Trip is Expensive But Worth It. Make Sure You get A Pilot That Talks Allot About What You Are Seeing. Our Pilot Spencer Was Not the Best Tour Guide I have Had in Previous Trips. He Was A Little Irritated When I asked Questions About What we Were Flying Over. But All In All A Fun Flight.
Good tour, if you get a middle seat, you can’t see much. It was a very hot ride today and that made it uncomfortable for all of us. We asked if the could cool it down and the pillow said he couldn’t do anything about it. There are four seat in the back, so only the two door seats have good views, the center seats can’t see much. The pilot was good and we felt safe and the ride was to be 65 minutes and it was only 55. I wouldn’t do it again.
At first I was terrified about this excursion but, it was something my husband and children really wanted to do. My fears were quickly put at ease when I saw the professionalism and attention to safety! I felt comfortable knowing our pilot was trained in the military! Our ride was smooth and informational. We saw gorgeous views all over the island! So grateful that I faced my fears, it was so worth it!
La chambre était de bonne dimension, et avec vue sur le centre-ville. Bien entretenue (merci au personnel d'entretien, qui a été formidable!).
It was very nice. I could have used more information from the pilot. Other than that it was a delight.
This was a great experience. Was nervous a bit but got over it as soon as the helicopter left the ground. Our pilot was knowledgeable of the island. If you decide to get the usb drive of the tour, make sure the audio is on the drive. Each file was approximately 10 minutes, 5 minutes in on each file we lost sound. Disappointed as this was an extra we paid for the memory and only have part of the voice. The tour itself though was good.
I love helicopter tours! Had a great Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour in Maui. This was a bit disappointing. The pilot (can't remember his name) knew a lot about the island but shared info in little snippets instead of normal sentences that really told the story about what we were seeing. Also, it seemed like we quickly passed by many of the main attractions I hoped to see from the air. By the time I saw the area in question (such as the Dole plantation), we were nearly past it. I got a better look from the photos I was snapping than in real time. Maybe the experience would have been different with a different pilot, but this particular trip was not what I would have expected from Blue Hawaiian.
Overall, we really enjoyed our tour. The pilot was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting facts about the island. The day we went it was a little choppy, but the pilot was nice to tell us when we may expect to get smoother air. We were in the helicopter with a family of 4, two being small children. One of the kids found it very entertaining to constantly talk in the microphone to his dad, so it kind of took away from the tour for us. The pilot interacted with the kid a lot, which took away from our experience as we were not able to really ask questions or interact with the pilot. They offer a complimentary shuttle service from your hotel to the airport (where they have their helicopters), which was really nice.
Incontournable si vous êtes à Hawaï ! J'ai hésité avant de le faire à cause du tarif relativement important, mais finalement j'ai décidé de le faire et je n'ai pas regretté, tout ce que j'ai fait au sol, j'ai pu le voir du ciel et la perspective est totalement différente et incroyable !
