The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago—almost as large as all the other islands combined—and bursting with life. Within 4,000 square miles of land, you’ll experience dense tropical rainforests, black-sand beaches, snow-capped peaks, remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements, and the incredible Kilauea volcano.

Maui is renowned for its unimaginable beauty. Alpine-like forests cover the upcountry slopes of Mt. Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano. The famed “Road to Hana” hugs the coast, white sandy beaches line the shores, and magnificent sea cliffs hover over the blue Pacific. An aerial tour of Maui will quickly reveal why it’s continually been voted “The World’s Best Island.”

Oahu is the cultural heart of the Hawaiian Islands, offering an eclectic mix of tradition, Hawaiian history, and stunning natural beauty. Beyond Waikiki Beach, the historic sights of Pearl Harbor and the cosmopolitan city of Honolulu, you’ll discover gorgeous shorelines, hidden valleys, cascading waterfalls, and the famed North Shore.

The incomparable Na Pali Coast, Waimea Valley (the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”), and stunning Mount Waiʻaleʻale (the second wettest place on earth), are among Kauai’s incredible wonders that are so remote, they are only accessible by helicopter.

Our tour of Oahu was absolutely incredible! We flew with pilot Sarah and she was so sweet, informative, and professional. They took care of everything for us and allowed us to sit back and enjoy. Would definitely recommend!
Spectacular Views, but the Overall Experience Could Be Better We enjoyed our Big Island Spectacular helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, although the overall experience didn't quite meet our expectations. The check-in facility was excellent, the helicopters were very nice, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Flying over the volcanoes and near the waterfalls was absolutely breathtaking and definitely the highlight of the experience! Unfortunately, there were a few disappointments. We were required to arrive an hour before departure, and with the additional fuel stop, our two-hour flight experience ended up taking nearly four hours from arrival to departure. There were no drinks or snacks provided or available for purchase, even during the fuel stop. Purchasing our flight video afterward added another 30 minutes of waiting. Our biggest disappointment was the narration. The pilot frequently seemed distracted, starting stories about the landscape but not finishing them. We were really looking forward to learning about the island's geography, history, and volcanic activity, but came away feeling like we'd learned very little during our two-hour flight. Overall, the scenery was incredible, the aircraft were comfortable, and the staff was lovely. We've experienced better helicopter tours with more engaging and informative pilots, but this certainly wasn't a bad experience. It was enjoyable, just not quite as spectacular as we'd hoped.
Really great time spent with Matt, the pilot. While there were some restraints because of weather (cloud cover) personalized or custom changes were made to make sure we experienced the best possible route... or we had the option of a complete refund! Very "dialed in" team knows their stuff and it was a wonderful quality time..
Great pilot!! Beautiful weather with wonderful history narrative.
