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.

Unbelievable views, well worth the money. Smooth ride, unreal scenery.
We were so impressed by his knowledge, loved it and would highly recommend it with Hans!!
Marco was great and very informative. The ride was so smooth and he was so professional. A great experience!! I would recommend it.
One of the best things we did at the Big Island! We've NEVER ridden a helicopter before and we flew with our 12 year old with Down syndrome who has sensory issues to loud noises. Honestly, most of our family didn't think he'd be able to join. BUT we showed him the video footage from Blue Hawaiian Helicopter's website to warm him up. Then, we called in advance and the company said we could come earlier and were so friendly and accommodating. When we arrived, we were greeted and Juliana in particular was so welcoming, patient, and understanding with us and our son. She made sure he had time to warm up and feel comfortable. Our pilot, Greg, was good! He was informative, friendly, and very patient with our son and family. We filled the helicopter. And we got to view some of the most breathtaking scenes of our lives.
I felt totally safe on my first helicopter experience in the Big Island many years ago. Then I tried an open door helicopter experience in Kauai and said I"d never get on another one- scary! I was back on the Big Island with 3 kids in tow and they begged to do a helicopter experience. I was hesitant, but after re reading my review decided to go for it. Unfortunately, by the time I decided we couldn't get a helicopter ride to see the volcano since it was active and that's when everyone wants to see it. Instead I booked a helicopter ride to see the island. They told us to get there an hour early to go thru safety procedures. 30 minutes would have been fine because it ended up being a lot of sitting around, but we make friends with their cat mascot. And then it was time for take off! I was a little nervous at first, but our pilot put me at ease within a few minutes. And it really was such a cool and gorgeous way to see the island! My kids seemed to think it was pretty cool too, although my youngest enjoyed talking into the microphone and annoying us the most. We landed safety, took a few pics and were excited that we were the very last flight of '24. I've now been on a total of 3 helicopter rides and would do it again, but think i'll hold off on anymore open door rides.
Had our first ever helicopter experience here with Blue Hawaiian and James, our pilot. It was absolutely amazing. Super professional operation, felt entirely safe at all times. Would absolutely do again!
