Completely worth the price you pay! Everything from start to finish was absolutely professional. We originally had a tour with another company Safari Helicopters and that experience was completely awful And they canceled my tour and wouldn't allow me to properly reschedule. We did the safety briefing with both companies and blue Hawaiians was so much more professional and well done. I called blue Hawaiian and they were so gracious and accommodating. With the construction all over the roads and quiet you can take a tour out of Princeville airport and not deal with traffic as well as an option. But seriously, fly with blue Hawaiian and don't try to save 80 bucks it is not worth it! Blue Hawaiian has the reputation and reviews to back for a reason!
Although a bit pricey, it is definitely a wonderful experience. We opted to take the “Big Island Spectacular” which lasted about 2 hours. It departs from Waikoloa which has nothing around it so it makes it hard to miss. We flew over the Kilauea volcano, rainforests, 1200 ft. waterfalls, gorgeous beaches, and other incredible sights. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and gave us great information on all of the sites and answered all questions (I found out later that he was a State of Hawaii certified tour guide). Seeing the Kilauea volcano up close was amazing. To see the lava flows and sudden brush fires makes you understand the extremes that are happening. We saw a small lava flow into the ocean but were told that at times this could be rather large. Each seat on the helicopter had a great view and the pilot made sure he went around so everyone had a great photo opportunity. Then we went to the north island to see some of the largest waterfalls that I’ve ever seen. These were hundreds of feet tall (with one at 1200 feet). This part of the island is not accessible by land or sea, so it was a unique experience. Also in the north part of the island are the tropical rain forests where many movies were filmed. Overall, it was money well spent to see the breathtaking sights and was an adventure of a lifetime!
Mark was very knowledgeable and was passionate about the island. The tour was smooth and Mark made sure that both sides had chances to take pictures.
Great tour! Breathtaking views!
Guy was awesome and the tour was fantastic! Loved every minute!
Guy was a fabulous guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and all the current issues. He explained everything as we went over it and he really completely made the trip!
Great experience!
Jeremy was a very knowledgeable pilot and made our flight the perfect finish tour day in HiLo.
Had an awesome flight. Loren was great with his commentary and is funny which helps distract a nervous flyer. All staff are very friendly. thank you- MA halo

Excellent experience, Great pilot
Fantastic helicopter ride. Our first. Thanks to the pilot for putting up with all my son's questions. He was very informative. Well worth the expense.
What an AWESOME experience. Greg was our pilot today. Very knowledgeable of the island and the history. It was worth every penny.
Jeremy gave us a ride that exceeded our expectations. We saw sights we'll never see anyone else in the world.
