By far, the greatest experience I had on the Island of Maui was the tour provided by Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Company. Maui itself is like a small American town in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I'm from Washington, D.C., and I have close, extended family in Greece. So, outside of New York, L.A., London, or Paris, most cities seem... more

We chose Blue Hawaiian based on the recommendation of friends who had flown with them. The tour was the highlight of our trip. An unbelievable experience we won't soon forget. The aircraft was comfortable and we were able to see much of the island we wouldn't have seen otherwise. We flew into the West Maui mountains where we saw spectacular... more

Earlier this week my family and I took a ride on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. We booked online and I think this saved us some money. I called b/c my AAA book said I got an AAA discount, but the online price was better than my discount. We chose Blue Hawaiian b/c Samantha Brown on the travel channel recommended it and... more

Our pilot, Glenda, gave us a great flight around the east part of Maui - Haleakala and Hana. It was like riding in a car, but up high! I was a little afraid of motion sickness, but that was not a factor. They have the little air blowers onboard like on airplanes. We got a discounted flight on the A-star... more

I chose the Blue Hawaiian helicopters since my wife was really concerned about my safety and they seemed to boast of the most safety awards. It was money well spent. My pilot Will Curry was a very experienced guy who explained lots of features of the landscape and gave us a safe but spectacular flight. The flight itself was spectacular... more

I went on the Blue Hawaiian Complete Island (Maui) tour last week. It was awesome!! David our pilot was great, giving us lots of island history with some personal touches. I had a great view sitting in the front seat right next to David. While the views of the coast and Mt Haleakala were beautiful, the West Maui mountains just... more

Whatever you do on Maui, definitely take a helicopter tour of the island. There are many to choose from and we decided on Blue Hawaiian. It was an excellent choice. The tour was phenomenal. Our pilot, Mike, was really friendly and informative and a great pilot. The entire trip was smooth and he deftly maneuvered the helicopter into positions so... more

Three of us (me, my wife, and 13 year-old son) took the Big Island tour in min-June. Bob was our pilot, and he was great. It really is a thrilling experience if you've never been in a chopper. The staff were friendly and informative. Bob, from the very start, was outstanding. He kept a narrative going throughout. He was fun... more

This is without question a relatively expensive event, especially for two people, but if you REALLY want to say that you have seen Maui, you should do it, or start saving to add it to your itinerary. Be sure to ask for the Eco Star helicopter. It is quieter and more comfortable than the other model that they have. The... more
