      This tour was absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny! We took a ride in the island of Kaua. The views from the sky are unbelievable. Felt very safe flying with our blue Hawaiian pilot, Robert. He also gave great facts and history behind some of the sights we saw. Would 100% recommend!

      Great Helicopter Tour of Oahu!
      In just an hour, this helicopter rides brings you around the entire island of Oahu. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hawaii. It was my first helicopter ride, and I was a bit nervous for the flight. However, we felt like we were in good hands with our pilot. I believe Tim was his name. He was very informative and professional. Be sure to take lots of pics and videos while in the sky!

      The best way to see Oahu
      A helicopter tour is the BEST way to see the diverse regions of Oahu. I had never been on a helicopter before and felt like I was in great hands. There is a safety video and briefing before the tour. You will also wear a life vest on your waist. Inside the helicopter you have a headset and microphone so you can ask the pilot questions (during designated times when it is safe). Our pilot was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour of the island with an emphasis on the different regions. He frequently would turn the helicopter so everyone got a good view of whatever important site. I would recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters again.

      Thrilling and Knowledgeable
      WOW, what can I say...IT WAS FANTASTIC! There were 5 of us and 3 had never flown in a helicopter before. Safety instruction was simple and easy to follow to follow and our newbies did not get air sick!!! Highly recommend Marcus (our pilot) ...his knowledge of the island and his playlist was so great! Imagine rising up to crest over a mountain to the Hawaii Five O theme song!

      Almost like fraud
      Flight NOT as long as advertised (10%-20% shorter). Different route than shown on the cards and online. Pilots are NOT certified tour guides (falsely advertised). Ground staff NOT friendly and helpful (Shana very rude). Almost no view from the middle and right-hand seats. Cannot recommend this company. 비행 시간이 광고된 것보다 길지 않음(10%~20% 짧음). 카드 및 온라인에 표시된 것과 다른 경로. 조종사는 공인 투어 가이드가 아님(허위 광고). 지상 직원이 친절하고 도움이 되지 않음(샤나는 매우 무례함). 중간 및 오른쪽 좌석에서는 시야가 거의 확보되지 않음. 이 회사를 추천할 수 없습니다.

      Rebooking and cancellation until I found a better operator.
      Booked my flight, was offered a different time slot and 2 hours before departure the flight was canceled, due to technical issues with the helicopter. But I was offered to fly the next day. With this I lost my confidence in them and booked a flight with Rainbow which was available right away, very professional and even cheaper. The flight was great so at the end the trouble turned out to be a blessing.

      Wonderful Family Excursion
      The staff was polite and friendly. The pilot was informative and humorous. The tour was gentle with spectacular scenery. And they all were kind and understanding when one of the youngsters experienced a bout of motion sickness.

      Truly incredible experience from the moment we took to the air. Our pilot Marcus was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wonderful commentary. Spectacular views and a perspective of the island that can only be gained from the comfort of a helicopter. Highly recommend!

      1st time in a helicopter
      First time in a helicopter, I was a bit nervous but everyone here was very professional, calm and kind. Amazing way to see and learn about the entire island. Marcus was a great guide and smooth pilot.

      Such a shame
      We booked a sailing tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters with the tour rep in the Marriott Beach resort in Waikiki Beach. We waited an hour to be picked up from our hotel. Then waited another half an hour before we boarded the catamaran. The crew, three of them, we ok. They went through the required safety briefing and offered drinks. We were promises snacks but none arrived. We had a lovely sail which lasted an hour and a half. When we got back our transport wasn’t waiting for us. There wasn’t a rest room and when, after half an hour, we asked if we could us the one on the catamaran we were told no! We waited over 45 minutes for the transport to arrive to take us back to our hotel. It was a lovely cruise but it was spoilt by lack of facilities when we got off and poor transport arrangements.

      Hawaii’s version of Ryan air!
      Truly terrible experience. Rudest round crew ever. Please make sure you get a seating commitment before you book or they will stick you in the worst possible seats and tell you that you’re welcome to forfeit your payment and not fly with them. I wish I did! If you have never flown by helicopter you may like this but if you have flown with a real company before, this is like flying Ryan air!!!

      Fantastic!
      Booked this tour through the hotel and probably would have been cheaper direct. Staff were really friendly and helpful, great safety precautions and really good and knowledgeable pilot, Benjamin. It’s not a cheap excursion but so pleased I did it and would 100% recommend. It was cloudy when I took my flight which was a shame but we saw migrating humpbacks which was amazing!

      Excellent time for first-timers on a helicopter. Our pilot Koji was excellent; the ride was smooth, his narration of the sights and history of Oahu was perfect and his skill and experience were clearly evident. Highly recommend Blue Hawaiian!

    I was scared but it was a great time. The wind defiantly made me hold my breath from time to time but overall the pilot was great and was very knowledgeable. Seeing Pearl harbor from that view was amazing. And flying over the mountains and looking down into waterfalls was unreal.

    First time visit to Hawaii - Oahu island. Did a lot of things on the ground but running out of time to see the entire island.

    Blue Hawaiian Helicopter was easy to book, change my booking and eventually go on the tour.

    The pilot Benjamin was very informative. He would actually turn so the guests on the left or right would get a good view of something of interest that we were flying over. The weather was also very cooperative that day!

    The ground crew were also amazing!

    Would highly recommend them! Wish they had professional photos done either during the flight or after. The after flight video is too long for today’s shortened attention spans.

    Koji, our pilot, was amazing! His commentary throughout the flight was informative and light. The bonus in the flight was spotting whales. Viewing Oahu from the air was the best way to see many of the sacred sights and hear the legends. The whole team was wonderful, from checking in and getting the safety prep through to disembarking. Very professional and I highly recommend booking your flight - don't wait - you won't regret it!!

    There were flash flood warnings that morning and kept telling us the flight was on . We drove an hour and 45 mins from the other side of the island called like 3 times on the way and they finally called us as we pulled in to say the tour was canceled. This was very unprofessional they knew by the forecast that would not be going there was 5 inches of rain that morning . We risked our lives driving through the storms with water on the roads because if we did not show up we would lose our $750.00 for being a no show .

    The trip was amazing, we sat at the front seats and the views were great. The pilot did an amazing job explaining and flying felt like nothing for been our first time in a helicopter. Definitely recommend it.

    We've never been on a helicopter so this was something new. After watching the safety video we headed out to the helicopter and after some pictures and getting buckled in we took off. The views were spectacular and our pilot Koji was great. the flight was so smooth and Koji would tell us when he was going to turn and in what direction and his information was great. We highly recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.

    The whole organization was perfect.
    We liked the safety video.
    The pilot was very nice. He even flew a curve so that we had a good view from the other side. The pilot also told us and explained a lot of interesting things.
    We felt very safe.
    The background music was great too.

    Company was very organized and friendly. They made the helicopter ride easy and safe. I did the half island tour and saw some incredible sights. Our pilot Markus S was quite knowledgeable on Pearl Harbor and Oahu. He made the tour very interesting. I had a request to over fly a long forgotten airfield Haleiwa which he was glad to to do. It just made my day and vacation. Can’t thank him enough. When the ride was done I was like a kid and wanted to go again.
