We did the complete island tour. Our pilot, Emery, was attentive to all 6 passengers questions and was a wealth of historical knowledge. We were seated so that everyone on board, kids aged 7 & 10 included, could see clearly out at least one window. Safety briefing was understandable and didn't drag on forever. Then we were out to the helicopter. Be prepared, you take nothing but cameras & sunglasses with you, everything else stays behind. As one prone to motion sickness, I was told it would be fine, but in retrospect I would've enjoyed the flight far more with gravol on board LOL. The winds today likely contributed to that. The rainforest views of never ending waterfalls were breathtaking and hovering over breaching whales was spectacular. I'm glad we went, but won't be lining up again without my friend gravol :)

This is our second time flying Blue Hawaiian (first time was on Kauai). Their helicopters are smooth and quiet and their pilots are experienced and entertaining. three children (aged 5, 3, 1) came along for the flight (1yr is a lap child) and they loved every minute. They were able to use the microphone to ask questions to the pilot and to converse with mom/dad, etc. Top quality.

The staff had me and my husband a bit confused at first as we were booked for the Maui Spectacular but due to wind we would be doing the tour of West Maui and Molokai with an extra view of the Molokini crater. When they had us watch the pre flight video we were watching information on the helicopter we didn't book for. Thankfully they realized this and we ended up on the right one before lift off. The pilot and tour information was excellent and we enjoyed our tour very much. We didn't get our planned stop for refreshments but they ended up giving us a free DVD of our flight which helped make up for it. Although disappointed with the tour change because of weather, our day ended up being great.

Fabulous helicopter ride! Beautiful views of Maui and a great pilot! Our pilot was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. He also suggested other attractions to see while in Maui. It was neat to be able to purchase a DVD (which includes audio) of our personal helicopter ride as well for $25. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th year anniversary. Also, we had a lot of wind that day and I was surprised how well the helicopter handled. Very smooth and lots of fun. It's one of those things that I would recommend being on your bucket list! The whole staff was very friendly and made us feel safe and welcomed. Thanks for a memory of a lifetime!

My wife and I really enjoyed our recent experience on the Eco Star helecopter tour of north Maui and Molokai. Eric our pilot was amazing, and very well trained in the history and scenery of the islands. The cost had always held me back in past trips to Maui, but am I ever glad the I "bit the bullet" and made the reservation. The helicopter is a fabulous machine, and a big thank you to our pilot amid to all of the staff that put together these daily tours.

Another reviewer posted a comment "You get what you pay for" which is so true. We traveled with my brother-in-law and his wife and purchased the top tier tour (all of Maui) on the Eco-Star. It was expensive but worth it. I've been to Maui a couple times but this was my first helicopter tour. Wow. The Eco-Star gives the best views possible with practically 360 degrees in the front and very gracious views in the back because of raised seating. The guides are very good at turning around to give both sides of the helicopter the same views. It is encouraged to use the open mics to communicate throughout the ride. Our tour included a touch down on a ranch on the side of a mountain for pics, champagne/drinks, and cheeses and crackers. If you're on a budget you need to think it through considering price vs experience. You could pay less somewhere else and still be unhappy due to the poor views out of the helicopter or choices in tours. Choosing Blue Hawaiian takes the guess work out of the equation.

you are sitting in the front seat or the left seat in the rear. The other three in my group were not in a position to get any good pictures because all they saw on their side was the ocean. They were upset because no one told us about this. We paid extra for the Eco 360 because we thought it would be a smoother ride. Not sure because this was my first helicopter ride. There was some vibration and it was a little bumpy but maybe that was because of the winds. I would not recommend this unless you can get the front seat or the rear seat next to the left window.

Very comfortable. Informative pilot, made good adjustments to weather to ensure we had a good tour. Very good. We flew the ecostar. Really nice machine.

The tour of Maui was FANTASTIC especially with the whales we could see from above..The many waterfalls . hills and valleys are so magnificant to see! Our 16 yr old Daughter was amazed how cool and interesting this flight was. She smiled along with us during the flight. Tim,our piloit, was great and we enjoyed his extensive facts and knowledge of Maui. Mahalo, The Ripley Family

As we had no idea on what Maui offered it was fantastic. My husband and I were on a cruise Pride of America, we booked online prior to our trip. We caught a taxi to the airport, checked in, weighed and watched the safety movie. Our pilot Mike was very informative. There was so many whales with babies. We did a landing near Wailea I think it was and had some Pineapple champagne. Then went up the mountain over the crater that looks like the moon. The came many waterfalls and rainbows. Past Hana and the beautiful landscape along the coast We bought the dvd and am very happy with it as I get to relive the flight. As we were only at Maui for 2 day we definately think this is the only option and have time to relax while on holiday.

We've flown in airplanes all our lives, but had never taken a helicopter ride before, so we didn't know what to expect. Exhilaration - that's what! How incredible. The ride itself is fascinating. But on top of that, you're treated to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. And since we were there in February, that means the whales were there too. It was so cool to be able to look down and see them from a different perspective. Amazing. We took the Complete Island Tour which lasted about an hour. Our pilot (don't remember his name) was funny, informative and really set us at ease. We loved it! Although, if you're prone to motion sickness, you may want to take a bonine or dramamine an hour or so before your flight. We don't have a problem with that, but could see where some of the turns might cause someone with those tendencies to become sick. Again, we absolutely loved it and would do it again!

Blue Hawaii gave us an amazing view of Maui that we would not have seen any other way. The pilot (Anna) was excellent and gave us a super smooth ride inspite of windy weather. She was really knowledgeable about all the areas that we toured and made the trip entertaining and educational. We did not fly the exact route originally planned due to weather, but it was still a wonderful experience. We saw 2000' waterfalls, lush jungle valleys and amazing scenery in all directions. I would recommend this to anyone.

I am afraid of heights and WOULD DO THIS FLIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN! Please ask for Emery, our pilot, was amazing with his history and story telling and making sure that each and every one of us had a wonderful time and felt comfortable. Thank you for the highlight of our Maui trip!

We booked a 6 passenger van tour to Hanna and a helicopter flight back to Kahului Airport. We booked this particular tour because we wanted to experience the Hanna Highway but didn't want to miss the sights by having to drive it ourselves. It was a relaxing drive and we enjoyed the sights. Certainly the high point was the flight back it was wonderful and since we are small people we had the good luck to sit up front wow what a rush! Our Pilot was fantastic he had put together a mix of perfect music to accompanied our flight his commendatory was informative and funny. It was very quiet from all the passengers as we were all rendered speechless by the beauty and sweeping vistas . The physical sensation was one of floating and the ability to quickly or slowly maneuver was quite hypnotic we loved every sensation and moment and though expensive we felt worth every penny. We were provided lunch as part of the tour it was served in an open air picnic area in Hanna at the beach white table cloth and napkins real plates & cutlery a nice touch. Since we have weird allergies they attempted to accommodate us with a vegetarian option lettuce leaves with salad inside a bit meager. The other passengers lunch was a bit more substantial than ours with 2 kinds of wraps to choose from salad and brownies and looked terrific I was sorry to have wheat and dairy allergies! The van ride portion was not as exciting as the flight back it was slower and there are not many places to legally pull over and stop for pictures but we managed. We did stop but never swam at the pools since water levels were high that day and flash flood possible and the driver advised it was not safe. It was raining so better safe than sorry people do drown from flash floods it was reported a woman did a few days later but she was driving privately with her husband so very sad! We stopped at the halfway mark and could purchase food and the famed Banana bread but not us due to the gluten thing, everyone said it was wonderful. We saw much more than we would have and the driver was excellent with his history of the area and factoid and funny tidbits. But our favorite part was the Flight ! High Five!!

Had a great experience with our pilot Glenda. But before that - things to know - everyone wants up front to get the best view but be aware that seating is determined by your weight and they use a computer program to decide who sits where (that's why they weigh you). I believe couples always get to sit together but you can't reserve a front (or back seat). Also, you can only take your camera and sunglasses with you in the helicopter and they don't allow iPads because their size can block the window view for other passengers - take a "regular" camera only. That said, you don't even really need your own camera because they provide a fabulous DVD of your very own tour taken with two outside cameras and an internal camera - it also captures all the audio so you can hear everything the pilot says, as well as questions from the passengers TO the pilot. At a price of only $25 you'd be crazy not to get it - if only as insurance for whether your own pics turn out. Our pilot was great and maneuvered around the best sights so that passengers on both sides got to see everything. She was very knowledgable and personable - thanks Glenda! And I just loved when the theme to the old Hawaii Five-O show played as we were taking off - what a thrilling way to begin our adventure! We were on a 50 minute tour that I was afraid would seem short but lasted longer than I would have thought - well worth the cost.
