My review of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters comes from the viewpoint of a community member rather than a consumer. Helicopter tour companies clearly have a direct impact on their environment, particularly when it comes to noise levels as they fly over residential areas. As a concerned community member, I made a plea to the CEO of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, explaining that their helicopters flying over my neighborhood were too frequent, creating excessive noise. The CEO of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was immediately responsive to my concern and made changes to their fleet's flight paths, directing their helicopters to take different routes to avoid flying directly over my neighborhood. Although this may seem like a simple adjustment, it has made a world of a difference for both myself and my neighbors. We can hear our televisions again! This significant alteration has improved the quality of life for residents in my community. I write this review to commend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for their sensitivity and quick responsiveness to the people they live among. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is a company that is not solely focused on the bottom line, but instead is conscientious to the needs of the people of Hawaii. I encourage anyone interested in experiencing a helicopter tour of our remarkable Oahu, to book with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters as their choice. As we continue to realize that we are truly interconnected on a global scale, strong support for companies like Blue Hawaiian Helicopters will benefit us all.
They have excellent copters, I recommend spending the extra $ to go on an Eco-Star model. We took the north shore tour, saw lots of great waterfalls, both on the coast and in the valleys that we explored. The pilot was very knowledgable & answered questions as people asked. Cross your fingers that you get seated in the front or on one of the windows because the two back middle seats don't have great views for cameras.
Brian was an excellant pilot and the views were spectacular. Everyone in the office was very professional and helpful in all areas.
Just back from two hours of sheer amazement flying through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world! Our pilot, Toshi, enabled us to see lava flowing into the ocean and exploding like fireworks. From there we viewed the rugged coastline on the east side of the Big Island and up into a deep canyon to see beautiful waterfalls. An absolute must-do trip.
We have used this company a couple of times now. Pilot was very professional and kept us informed of where we were and what we were seeing. Very enjoyable
Great helicopter ride with equally great views. Marco was our pilot and he was very knowledgeable about the island. Did the 50 minute tour which was just right for our girls. He ensured that both sides could get the same views of everything. Got to see the oldest volcano on the island and all the beautiful waterfalls that now reside there. Well worth the price.
We had Chase as our pilot. We did the new tour that allows you to land and explore a waterfall for 30 minutes. The views are absolutely stunning and the waterfall where you land is unbelievable. The tour was a lot of money for our family of 4 and it lasted for about 90 mins...but it might have been worth it. I'll likely never spend that much money so quickly again, but I'll also never create such great memories with my family so quickly either... I'd almost say this is a MUST do if you come to Kona....it was a great couple of hours. Something you won't forget.
Had a very excellent aerial view of the Island of Oahu. Covering forty five to fifty minutes flew over the island many places not assailable by foot and vehicle. The Pilot a retired military personnel, Kristy did a super job as a tour guide, and an excellent pilot. We flew in an Eco-Star, the view was exceptional flew over the inspirational Pearl Harbour, the Arizona and the mighty USS Missouri. Seen the impressive Waimea Bay and the number of water falls on the north shore. Toured Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hauauma Bay, Mokoli'i Island famously known as Chinaman's Hat. From there flew over Makpau'u Point with the legendary Lighthouse and the entrance to Kaneohe Bay and Sea Life Park. A very informative and interesting tour, highly recommended.
DO NOT MISS this experience! I'm not a fan of flying but this was an INCREDIBLE experience. From the volcanoes, to the ocean, to the waterfalls, a must see. Very professionally handled. Chad, our pilot, was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about the area and put you at ease. Would do again in a heartbeat.
I was a little nervous as it was my first helicopter tour but I am so glad I had this wonderful experience. Brian was so helpful and he provided lots of information about the Island. He seemed like that he loved his job.
70% of Kauai is not accessible by foot or car. You can only see it from the air. We had the best pilot -- Scott H. -- and the best day -- no clouds. It was an incredible experience.
My first ever helicopter ride. Booked it due to the blue bible suggestion and friend's recommendation. God how they even exceed that high expectations! There is no one minute that is boring! Scott is super friendly and willing to take questions and even divert a bit to accommodate curious mind! Yes it is not cheap but I would say worth every penny!
I would recommend this to all my friends and family
Excellent tour! Ethan was a great pilot. I usually get motion sick, but this was smooth and easy. Not uncomfortable at all. The flight around the lava flowing into the ocean and the cauldron of lava was extraordinary! The falls were fabulous as well. This tour was worth every penny and I would do it again!
Ethan did a fabulous job and we had a great experience flying the volcano and water falls. He was very informative and added a lot to the trip. Smooth flying on a clear day. We love Blue Hawaiian!
