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.
Explore Tours Photo TourSix million years of powerful natural forces have sculpted Kauai into what it is today, a natural masterpiece. 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.

What an incredible experience! I don't know another way to access and appreciate the beauty and vastness of Mount Wai'ale'ale, Napali coast, Waimea canyon and the many waterfalls except by helicopter. The helicopter ride was so smooth and comfortable with great visibility. Our pilot, Alex, was a fun mix of information and personal anecdotes. I loved every minute, but my favorite part was seeing the whale and her calf as we were cruising the coastline. I also appreciated the pictures and video taken by the crew and helicopter to add to my own. There were some hiccups, but I felt Blue Hawaiian was very professional and responsive in addressing them. For example, our flight was cancelled due to weather. Greg, in particular, worked diligently to get us rescheduled. We had upgraded to the front seats but did not get them on the rescheduled flight. Our refund was already processed by the time we returned from our tour. We purchased the video and pictures taken by the crew and helicopter. The pictures of us in the helicopter were missing on the flash drive. One email and we received the missing photos. I originally scheduled the tour through TripAdvisor/Viator. I did not receive any communication leading up to the tour. I contacted Blue Hawaiian directly, had my first interaction with Greg who answered all my questions and made sure I received direct communication from then on. The trip description on TripAdvisor is not accurate. It mentioned flying over Poipu and descending into a crater. These did not happen. If I had it to do over, I would book through Blue Hawaiian directly. This was a big ticket item during our vacation, but I felt it was worth it. I would highly recommend to anyone able to do it and would not hesitate to take another trip with Blue Hawaiian.
Would give them 6 stars if I could. We had an exceptional experience. Our pilot, Mike, was awesome! We saw a bunch of whale which was super cold. Mike was great at pointing them out since they were way smaller than we expected. He made sure to rotate which side was able to see them so nobody missed out. The playlist was fire. The staff that worked with us before and after the flight was amazing as well. The safety briefing was informative.
Incredible experience, James was a fantastic tour guide.
Incredible experience! It's a unique opportunity; seeing Maui from above is breathtaking, it gives you goosebumps. The tour is very comprehensive; as you fly over the island, the pilot explains its vegetation, culture, and wildlife. It's a worthwhile cultural journey that allows you to connect with and appreciate the treasures hidden within the island.
We had an epic trip with Blue Hawaiian and Tim and as our pilot. The whole team was warm and professional. Tim took us on a flight of a lifetime. It was a bucket list item for us and it did not disappoint!
