Reviews of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Marcy Knudsen
Shane Beeder was the BEST pilot and tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the island and the details of the landscape. Also, we felt so safe the entire time. We flew Nov. 25th at 8am. Tip: pay the extra for the landing at the waterfall…so worth it!! Also, loved the music chosen for our flight. Highly, highly recommend flying with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters!

We took the Big Island Spectacular tour out of Waikoloa Village and had a great time. we were the first to arrive and paid an additional $400 to get front seats. This is an expensive trip, but the front seat was definitely better and the views and pilot were excellent. In the end, my wife and I both felt it was an excellent decision to purchase the trip and front.

We saw a little bit of lava, a lot of waterfalls, and experienced all the climate...
