Great first flight
Reviewed by: Rachel Price, 2021/05/31We had the best flight! It was our first time on Oahu. This was a wonderful way to see the island from the air before we started exploring. We had a great pilot who was very knowledgeable. We will definitely be doing this again!

Amazing O'ahu Island Flight
Reviewed by: Chris, 2020/01/25Aloha!
We had an amazing flight enjoying overwhelming views of the island, amongst others the North Shore, beaches, mountains, volcanos, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and a waterfall. Our very experienced pilot Miguel explained everything in detail and provided a lot of insight.
This was a once-in-a-liftetime experience, which we do not want to miss, and the highlight of our O'ahu holidays.
Mahalo!

Pilot/guide friendly and knowledgeable
Reviewed by: Frequent flier, 2020/01/18It was all saftey 1st, then a very educational and friendly flight.
Ground staff at "check-in" however could be friendlier...we fliers are investing quite a bit: our futures and our cash.
Smiles cost nothing but can add great value.

1 thing less to do on my bucket-list. =D
Reviewed by: Tim, 2019/11/19Paul Patron was an excellent pilot, made the tour very calm and safe. Informed us interesting facts of the island.This is a MUST do, an experience like no other. We were able to see about 2/3 of Oahu by land on a 10 hr bus tour the day before and then be able to see the same amount of the island in 45 min!! Views were magnificent, just like if you were to see it on National Geographic or something.

A flight to remember!
Reviewed by: Helen Griffiths, 2019/04/07From start to finish the whole experience was phenomenal, prompt pick up from our hotel, safety briefing then off we went, the cab to the helicopter was nice and cool, be sure to wear dark clothing as recommended in the pre flight info, failure to do so will result in you being given a dark t shirt to put on over your clothing.
The music and commentary accompanying the flight really made it special. Our pilot ensured that there were plenty of photo opportunities and ensured everyone on board got a great view.
I would definitely recommend this trip, it was great seeing Oahu from the sky and would do it all over again if I could! Thank you Blue Hawaii Helicopters for an unforgettable experience! Mahalo

A fun ride with a great view
Reviewed by: Mike in SC, 2018/05/12Great staff. Knowledgeable pilot. Great background music during the flight :)
The views were great, despite the overcast conditions.
Now I want to go back and dive at all those reefs I saw and hike up to those waterfalls.
I never realized just how small Pearl Harbor was until I saw it from the air with my own eyes.
This is something a visitor should do at least once.
If I did it again, I wouldn’t bother taking my own pictures and videos (they take video for you) and just enjoy the view.

Highlight of our trip
Reviewed by: Craig, 2017/10/29This was by far the highlight of our trip. If you want to really see all of Oahu do it from the air. Our pilot Darren was terrific! I was seriously thinking about booking again for the next day....it’s that much fun.

Awesome Experience
Reviewed by: CL, Houston, 2017/07/29Best way to see the Island from a birdseye view. From the time we were picked up at our hotel until we returned everyone was very friendly and helpful. Darren was our pilot and was very informative of the entire island. Gave each side of the helicopter a great view and time for photos as we traveled.

Reviewed by: Arnold, 2016/06/21I had 4 ladies youngest 69 oldest 86 wanted to do a helicopter ride and hoped to see Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) but settled instead for what they described as a fantastic view of Pearl Harbor from an aerial perspective.

Best thing you can do on Oahu!
Reviewed by: Ryszard, 2016/05/03Nothing compares to see the whole Island from above.
Definitely must-do for every visitor.

Amazing
Reviewed by: Yue, 2016/02/28Amazing view of Oahu Hawaii! It was such an exciting experience that I've never had before. Our pilot Julie was awesome. She made good narration during the whole trip. The only thing that disappointed me was my seat. Seats were allocated randomly, and mine was not a window seat, so that I didn't have the best perspective to take pictures.

Great flight
Reviewed by: Dirk, 2016/01/02I have flown with Blue Hawaiian on the other Islands and have always found the experience to be excellent. This time was no exception. It was a beautiful clear day and our pilot, Kristi (sp), was extremely good at narrating the tour of the Island as she flew and was also very funny. The only disappointment that I had was that the video recorder on the helicopter was broken so I wasn't able to purchase a DVD of our flight. Had I known this before we took off, I would have taken many more pictures. My fault for not asking!

Amazing experience, a must do for anyone visiting Hawaii.
Reviewed by: paulh1011, 2015/08/24Blue Hawaiian made it a truly perfect addition to our holiday with their professionalism, knowledgeable staff and top-service. The little extras made the difference such as the ability to buy the video immediately after the flight for a very reasonable $40. A great first-time helicopter experience for us and hopefully not the last one!

Loved it
Reviewed by: Alyssa, 2015/08/22I've lived in Hawaii for about 8 years and I thought I've seen everything. Just getting to ride a helicopter was already an amazing experience. Getting to ride it over Hawaii made it even better. I felt like a tourist seeing Hawaii for the first time. I'm also a big fan of Jurasic World and I kinda freaked when I found out they used Blue Hawaii Helicopter for the movie. I would recomend this tour to anyone; even locals.

Hawaiian Paradise...I was so blown away! Glad we did it!
Reviewed by: Ms. Ems, 2015/03/02In celebration of our 11th Year Anniversary, my husband and I agreed getting on a helicopter tour. At first, I was worried about motion sickness, and all these negative thoughts we had in our minds especially that we have young children but as we were heading to the helicopter site, the fear that we've had before is turning to an excitement, even more so after we were checked-in by Vincent, who was very helpful, funny, and was able to answer some of the questions and concerns I had before the flight. The weather was cooperating with us too as it was sunny, bright blue skies, with no high winds considering that there was a storm and strong winds the day before. We were asked to check-in 45 minutes before the flight and I thought that was too early but once we got there, the time actually went by too fast as we watched videos of these great sceneries taken on the flights that got us even more fired up!
Adam was our pilot that day and he was very professional, friendly, and informative. He even had us take our time to see the whales as we spotted them swimming in the ocean (we saw 4), and also tons of turtles floating above the water. I like how he communicates with everyone as well and made sure that we are all doing okay.
We are local residents by the way, we've been living in Oahu for 19 years and I have never seen the island so remarkably beautiful until we took this flight! It was amazing and I never stopped talking about it! The sceneries were breathtaking, especially the views of Kaneohe Sandbar! Just incredibly stunning, and what a stress reliever! I don't know how else to express myself but our experience was beyond our expectation! I never appreciated Mother Nature as much as I do now so thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for showing us these and the wonderful experience that will truly last a lifetime! Lucky to live Hawaii..INDEED!

Awesome Experience
Reviewed by: Oregon Mom, 2014/09/06We stayed in Oahu for a week and it wasn't enough time visit all the placed that I had panned. The helicopter tour was a great way to see the entire island within an hour. The pilot talked about all the major points of the island. Especially looking down the Pearl Harbor was an experience that I never forget.
