An experience of Lifetime!!!!! - Everything about this experience was spectacular! Every person we met from the time we arrived to the time we departed was top notch! Our pilot Matt was exceptional! He was knowledgeable and attentive. He pointed out everything that we could’ve possibly wanted to see. With explanations of where and what we were looking at. He also has a great sense of humor! My fiancé and I got engaged at the waterfall. Matt happily pointed out that you do weddings too! Our ride met all of our expectations and we would definitely go again! This is the only way to really see some amazing parts of Hawaii!

A must of you want to fly by Helicopter! - Blue Hawaiian Helicopter really put the icing on the cake for our family vacation! This tour from their Waikoloa location is the best flying experience I've ever been part of! The staff at their office was great so was Jim, our Pilot. We took the tour with the landing by the waterfall and it was awesome! We bought the video from our escapade and will watch it many times! Thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopter for a great time!

Waterfall landing is a must! - First time in a helicopter, and it was fantastic! We felt very comfortable and safe with our pilot and were in awe of the beautiful views from up above, especially flying through the gorgeous green valleys with waterfalls all around us. The waterfall landing was breathtaking.

Highlight of our trip - We did the landing at a private waterfall and it was worth every penny. Absolutely amazing experience. The entire staff was great and Greg our pilot made our flight a wonderful time even picking fresh bananas when we landed to share with us.

Expensive, but so worth it. - This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Our pilot was very professional and a font of knowledge. Answered all questions and had a calm and confident demeanour that assured nervous travellers in our group. We explored fantastic areas of the island - deep valleys and tall cascading waterfalls that can only be seen from a helicopter. Felt like we were on the set of Jurassic Park! This was not a cheap excursion, but wow, was it worth every penny! Highly recommend! You won't know what you would miss until you see it!

North Kohala Coast-Big Island - Brilliant! This was our fifth time on Blue Hawaiian, however first time with the Kohala "Landing" feature. Cam was our pilot and what a magnificent job he did maneuvering the chopper through the stunning valleys and precision landing at the base of the waterfall. The interactive flight session and visibility through the panoramic windows was superb. This is a very romantic tour and one not to be missed seeing our beautiful Kohala Coast Line and seven valleys of majestic vistas. Alissa checked us in and Cam took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy and enjoying our tour with Blue Hawaiian. We had guests from Laguna Beach of which one was a first time helicopter flyer. They both were extremely impressed with the tour. Outstanding! Mahalo Nui Loa D.Schultz Kailua Kona

Don't cheat yourself - Fly with pilot Greg - What makes for a truly memorable and breathtaking helicopter tour of the Big Island? Just ask our pilot Greg. It was his masterful flying and communication that made this by far the best heli tour ever (and I’ve been on quite a few). As a Professor of Educational Psychology, I know a few things about how to engage learners Pilot Greg deserves an honorary PhD in Education. He was explicit about the rules with clearly-stated explanations about what was required, why, and how to use the various safety equipment. As we flew over the still simmering and smoldering volcano, he explained with pinpoint accuracy the history of the volcanic activity on the island, the series of recent volcanic events, and the current status of Mauna Kea. We saw the earth evolve with lava! Greg punctuated the learning with chatting with the passengers. Myself, my friend from London, and two lovely nurse anesthetists from New Orleans. He fostered a true sense of group esprit de corps and we all found ourselves is perfect harmony. The lively conversations never deterred from the sightseeing. Greg knew where to find whales and dolphins. When he spotted a boat on the northern side of the island, he explained that this was a sure indicator of unusually calm seas. Eventually we landed in front of a very steep and majestic waterfall. As we walked about the small grassy/rocky area, the comradery was even more wonderful. Greg shared a bit about his family and the four passengers spoke about familiar themes that engaged the whole group. We took group shots and Greg shot a selfie of all of us. Was the 2+ hour flight expensive? Absolutely. But it was replete with wonderful memories and new friendships. Make this investment in a lifetime memory.
