We enjoyed our helicopter tour even though it rained hard on us during a small part of the tour. The pilot was awesome. The sad part was that the tour was supposed to show us a waterfall and it did not.
It was awesome the pilot was very informative the views of the sacred waterfall was cool. I’m a big lighthouse fanatic didn’t know Oahu had two lighthouses. Flying over Pearl Harbor and the air strip were it was bombed. It is a differant perspective over it as well.
Great customer service… The Helicopter ride was amazing. Amy our pilot did a very nice job pointing out different sights with detailed explanations. Great music selection during the ride as well. As windy as it was Amy kept us with a smooth ride. We missed the water falls and believe it was weather related. The trip was delayed, but the customer service given, got us off on time. Great job, thank you for the great tour and service.
This was my first helicopter ride, and it exceeded all my expectations. The aerial views of Hawaii were incredible, and the whole team made us feel comfortable and safe. Worth every dollar and a memory we’ll treasure forever. 🌴🚁❤️
Was amazing!! We saw almost whole island and waterfall , Hanauma Bay, Kailua, Lanikai, Wamanalo and Kaneohe Bay.
Great experience. Everyone very professional. Tour was informative and beautiful. Would highly recommend.
Great time. Were dark clothing for pictures. It wasn’t cold in the air like some reviews said, it’s Hawaii. Great safety brief and professional pilot.
Best part of our Hawaii vacation! It was our first time in a helicopter. Would do it again! The staff was excellent to work with!
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour of Oahu was incredible! Being able to view the landscape and landmarks from the air gives a whole new perspective & respect to the beautiful landscape of the island.
