Blue Hawaiian helicopter big island spectacular - Amazing way to see the island without driving a lot and we had a great pilot with lots of insight named Matt. Recommend to anyone traveling in the Kona area

The tour was very well... - The tour was very well organized. The instructions were clear, the waiting area comfortable. The tour started on time. Our guide Shane was fantastic; very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw various beautiful landscapes, many of which are unaccessible from land. I highly recommend this tour.

Beyond Amazing - We went on the Big island Spectacular out of Waikoloa 3-22-24. The staff from start to finish were beyond exceptional and professional. Our pilot Shane was the most informative, knowledgeable, personable, and caring person. He filled our hearts with the history and love of Hawai’i and showed us not only the beauty of the Island, but gave us that eternal history. Thank you Blue Hawaiian for making our 3rd trip to the Big Island so ver memorable. Doug & Carol

Awesome helicopter Experience - We had booked the full circle Island Tour but the weather wasn't on our side. with speaking to GREG our pilot we decided to go with his recommendation due to the weather keeping everyone's safety as his first priority. Although we were disappointed we couldn't do our original tour what Greg showed us was spectacular, amazing countryside waterfalls like you wouldn't believe and whale watching from a helicopter that was an amazing sight to see. we have purchased the USB and can't wait to look at it to remind us of our spectacular flight with Blue Hawaiin Helicopters. We were given a refund of the unused portion of our tour & was amazed that my credit card had been refunded by the time we returned to our accommodation. We highly recommend Blue Hawaiin Helicopters for their friendly greeting and personal service and look forward to flying with them again when we return again from Australia. Thanks Everyone Garry, Val & Cheryl

The Big Island Tour is Spectacular and worth the extra cost - We fly on Blue Hawaiian out of Waikola on the Big Island Spectacular tour. The tour was amazing yet pricey; however we felt it was worth the cost. Any tour is going to be an investment and if you are going to do it might as well go "all in". The tour is divided in 2 parts. The 1st part flies you around the volcanoes. Note - on most days wind, clouds, smoke may prevent you from seeing all the volcanoes. The day of our tour it was too smoky to fly over Kilauea which is OK as safety 1st! After flying over the volcanoes, which is amazing, you will be taken back to home base for refueling. Pro Tip - during refueling you get off the helicopter so good time for a bathroom break or to get a snack. The 2nd part of the Big Island Spectacular takes you to the East and North side of the Big Island. You will see green valleys, waterfalls and the coast. The highlight of the trip is when they land you in a (very) small grassy area at the base of a waterfall. Words cannot describe how amazing this is to experience. You get 20 minutes or so to walk around take pictures, etc. Bonus on our trip - there were LOTS of humpback whales. Our pilot fly us over the water and tipped the helicopter left and right so everyone could see the whales. We saw Mama whales and their babies playing in the water; must have seen at least a dozen whales. It was incredible! Pro Tips - Blue Hawaiian asks you to show up 1 hour before departure and respect the time it tales to get you ready to fly. Do not inconvenience your fellow passengers by being late. Flights are weight balanced; they weigh you when you get there (don't worry no one sees the weigh in); respect the fact in order to be safe, based on weight, you are placed in certain seats in the helicopter. Do not argue with the staff on where they want you to sit as safety 1st!! The staff does their best to keep groups together. 3 seats in front with the pilot front left and 2 passengers. 4 seats in the back, 2 outside, 2 inside. The "inside seats" have great views so don't worry. The Blue Hawaiian staff & pilots at Waikoloa are fantastic! Janie (sp) was super accommodating and helpful. Our pilot was Kai and he was cool as could be making our flight smooth and safe. As mentioned, Blue Hawaiian's #1 priority s safety; they won't fly if they think it's not safe (which is great). Worth mentioning 1 more time; flying on a helicopter is a big investment. If you can afford it, step up for the Big Island Spectacular, it's worth the cost.

Fantastic! - This was the most amazing experience! We felt so safe and our pilot Hans was so kind and such a great host! By far our favorite thing we did on the island. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Highly highly recommend!!!!!

Fantastic - It was an absolutely amazing experience. I don’t like scary rides and I couldn’t believe how smooth a ride it was. James was an outstanding pilot and tour guide. It was so beautiful just like a show on National Geographic. Jane’s was so informative and took care that we all saw everything he pointed out. Thanks
