Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters flies helicopter tours on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, with Eco-Star and A-Star aircraft used for island sightseeing flights.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters has been lifting travelers above lava fields, rainforests and surf-pounded cliffs since 1985. The company's Airbus Eco-Star and A-Star fleet flies from bases on the Big Island, Maui, Oahu and Kauai, so you can swap city skyline for crater rim or trace emerald valleys where few roads ever reach. Panoramic windows curve overhead, seats face forward, and two-way headsets link every passenger to a pilot who doubles as historian, geologist and spotter for rainbows arcing across distant waterfalls.
Itineraries lean into each island's signature scenery. On Hawaii Island the Big Island Spectacular sweeps from erupting vents in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park to snow-dusted Mauna Kea, while Maui's West Maui & Molokai route hovers beside 3,000-foot sea cliffs that plunge into cobalt channels. Kauai guests book the Kauai Eco Adventure for cathedral-thin ridges along the Na Pali Coast, and Oahu visitors circle the entire shoreline on the Complete Island tour—Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and remote Kaena Point in one loop. Each flight is offered through the island's dedicated helicopter-tours, Maui helicopter, Oahu helicopter and Kauai helicopter pages, making it easy to slot airtime beside ground adventures.
Safety sits front and center. Blue Hawaiian holds the FAA's Diamond Award of Excellence for maintenance, equips every seat with noise-reducing Bose headsets, and fits Eco-Star cabins with energy-absorbing seats plus floor-to-ceiling glass that lets you watch dolphins streak below Hanalei Bay or glow from fresh lava near Hilo. Pilots narrate in real time, cueing up mellow slack-key tracks between geology facts and movie trivia—like which razor-back ridge near Princeville framed a dinosaur stampede scene.
Ground logistics stay simple. Check-in desks sit steps from tarmacs in Waikoloa, Kahului, and Honolulu; resort shuttle add-ons keep the ride seamless if you'd rather leave the driving to someone else. Go-Pro-style video packages capture cockpit audio so you can replay the pilot's commentary, and weight-balanced seating guarantees everyone a window view. Flights run 30 – 115 minutes, leaving plenty of daylight to pair a volcano trek on a volcano tour or an afternoon reef swim on a snorkeling charter. With island-spanning bases, quiet-tech aircraft and narrators who love sharing sky-high secrets, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters turns Hawaii's dramatic topography into a moving postcard you won't forget.
