Fabulous tour. The waterfalls and cliffs are breath taking ..the landing is amazing. Such beauty that few get to see. Well worth the price for the experience.

Great experience. Don’t miss it. Loved the waterfall landing. We witnessed a couple get engaged at the waterfall! Kai, our pilot, did a great job communicating, we felt safe and in expert hands.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours was amazing! I proposed to my girlfriend during the tour, and it turned out to be a seamless, breathtaking, and truly unforgettable experience. The staff was incredibly kind and supportive, helping me pull off the surprise perfectly. The tour itself was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see hidden gems of Hawaii that would be impossible to reach otherwise. We flew over valleys, landslides, grasslands, and stunning hidden waterfalls. Our pilot was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer all our questions. He explained the fascinating history of how the islands were formed in a way that was both informative and engaging. When we landed at the secluded waterfalls, I popped the question. Our pilot captured the entire moment on video for us. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Highly recommend this experience—whether you're celebrating something special or just want to see Hawaii from a breathtaking new perspective.
What an amazing experience. Our pilot was knowledgeable of the sites seen and enhanced his monologue with cultural lore. The trip was further enhanced by a customize soundtrack built by the pilot. A full sensory experience.
We were extremely disappointed with our experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Less than two days before our scheduled tour — which we had booked and paid for weeks in advance — they abruptly canceled due to not enough people for the volcano tour (we are a family of 4). To make matters worse, they didn’t offer any alternative options at a discounted rate despite the short notice. We had planned our trip around this tour, and the lack of customer service and consideration left a very negative impression. We expected better from a company with such a strong reputation.
Our experience was what dream vacations are all about. If you just take the ride alone, it is worth seeing the island from a topside view. We went early in our trip and it really helped orient us to the island. Blue Hawaiian is a top notch organization, from communication to safety to your overall experience. Now, throw in the volcano was actually erupting and the knowledgeable pilot Mike and it was almost perfect. BUT if you want PERFECT...spend the extra and do the waterfall landing!!! I don't know how they even got the helicopter down there but I will never forget that 20 minutes at that waterfall with my wife! Thank you Mike and Blue Hawaiian
Chose this tour with a landing at the note of another reviewer - THANK YOU! The whole ride was spectacular, but landing in front of a 300' waterfall with only one other couple and the pilot there to enjoy it? This was an incredible experience we won't soon forget!
Pilot was very professional. Smooth flight! We had a lot of fun. It was great to land at the waterfall
My daughter and I decided to book a last minute tour. We weren’t quite sure what to expect but left Blue Hawaiian with amazing memories and photos. Greg was our pilot and was phenomenal! Totally recommend doing the landing. The photo opportunities are incredible and the whale sighting was a great bonus! DO NOT miss out on this opportunity to see the Big Island in a completely different way!
Unforgettable moment flying above big island in Kohala coast! Amazing tour specially with first class seat 😍
Everything about this experience was spectacular! Every person we met from the time we arrived to the time we departed was top notch! Our pilot Matt was exceptional! He was knowledgeable and attentive. He pointed out everything that we could’ve possibly wanted to see. With explanations of where and what we were looking at. He also has a great sense of humor! My fiancé and I got engaged at the waterfall. Matt happily pointed out that you do weddings too! Our ride met all of our expectations and we would definitely go again! This is the only way to really see some amazing parts of Hawaii!
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter really put the icing on the cake for our family vacation! This tour from their Waikoloa location is the best flying experience I've ever been part of! The staff at their office was great so was Jim, our Pilot. We took the tour with the landing by the waterfall and it was awesome! We bought the video from our escapade and will watch it many times! Thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopter for a great time!
Did the helicopter tour with landing and it was simply breathtaking!!! Definitely worth the extra bucks for the landing. Once in a lifetime experience. The falls near the landing area was spectacular! My wife and I really enjoyed this trip! Our pilot Matt was great! He explained every question you asked him and even gave a great suggestion for dinner after the tour!
First time in a helicopter, and it was fantastic! We felt very comfortable and safe with our pilot and were in awe of the beautiful views from up above, especially flying through the gorgeous green valleys with waterfalls all around us. The waterfall landing was breathtaking.
Not only was this an amazing experieince that words cannot describe, but also a special Shout-out to the Wonderful Staff who went out of their way to make it special : James-Pilot, Janalyn, Rhonda, Merm, Janie, and of course Chloe! :) we cant wait to see you again in August. Jon and Kaelynn Regis
We did the landing at a private waterfall and it was worth every penny. Absolutely amazing experience. The entire staff was great and Greg our pilot made our flight a wonderful time even picking fresh bananas when we landed to share with us.
This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Our pilot was very professional and a font of knowledge. Answered all questions and had a calm and confident demeanour that assured nervous travellers in our group. We explored fantastic areas of the island - deep valleys and tall cascading waterfalls that can only be seen from a helicopter. Felt like we were on the set of Jurassic Park! This was not a cheap excursion, but wow, was it worth every penny! Highly recommend! You won't know what you would miss until you see it!
Brilliant! This was our fifth time on Blue Hawaiian, however first time with the Kohala "Landing" feature. Cam was our pilot and what a magnificent job he did maneuvering the chopper through the stunning valleys and precision landing at the base of the waterfall. The interactive flight session and visibility through the panoramic windows was superb. This is a very romantic tour and one not to be missed seeing our beautiful Kohala Coast Line and seven valleys of majestic vistas. Alissa checked us in and Cam took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy and enjoying our tour with Blue Hawaiian. We had guests from Laguna Beach of which one was a first time helicopter flyer. They both were extremely impressed with the tour. Outstanding! Mahalo Nui Loa D.Schultz Kailua Kona
What makes for a truly memorable and breathtaking helicopter tour of the Big Island? Just ask our pilot Greg. It was his masterful flying and communication that made this by far the best heli tour ever (and I’ve been on quite a few). As a Professor of Educational Psychology, I know a few things about how to engage learners Pilot Greg deserves an honorary PhD in Education. He was explicit about the rules with clearly-stated explanations about what was required, why, and how to use the various safety equipment. As we flew over the still simmering and smoldering volcano, he explained with pinpoint accuracy the history of the volcanic activity on the island, the series of recent volcanic events, and the current status of Mauna Kea. We saw the earth evolve with lava! Greg punctuated the learning with chatting with the passengers. Myself, my friend from London, and two lovely nurse anesthetists from New Orleans. He fostered a true sense of group esprit de corps and we all found ourselves is perfect harmony. The lively conversations never deterred from the sightseeing. Greg knew where to find whales and dolphins. When he spotted a boat on the northern side of the island, he explained that this was a sure indicator of unusually calm seas. Eventually we landed in front of a very steep and majestic waterfall. As we walked about the small grassy/rocky area, the comradery was even more wonderful. Greg shared a bit about his family and the four passengers spoke about familiar themes that engaged the whole group. We took group shots and Greg shot a selfie of all of us. Was the 2+ hour flight expensive? Absolutely. But it was replete with wonderful memories and new friendships. Make this investment in a lifetime memory.
Edmund was awesome and it was beautiful! The waterfall stop is a must do. Recommend highly. Felt safe and relaxing.
