Hawaii helicopters are an unique (sometimes expensive) way to explore the islands and get a bird's eye view of some of the most magnificent landscapes on Earth. You can take your own pictures, make your own video, or simply enjoy the ride and buy a video of your tour at the end.
As you hover above the steaming lava coming out of the Puu Oo vent in Mt. Kilauea, you can feel the heat through the protective skin of the helicopter. You are "up close and personal" (almost) to one of the world’s most active volcanoes. As you watch the red hot lava bubble and flow from the vent, you can smell the sulphurous steam.
Don’t miss witnessing this once-in-a-lifetime sight!
Blue Mountain Helicopters is one of the premier companies operating Hawaii helicopters - the company of choice for big movie productions like Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean - among many other films and television productions. And, they also handled the aerial photography for these blockbuster movies.
Enjoying Hawaii helicopters for the hidden waterfalls, the lush rainforests of the Hamakua Coast, and the golden beaches on the Kohala Coast is just the beginning of an exhilarating Hawaiian expedition.
Operating with a great safety record and the best and most experienced pilots, Blue Mountain ECO-Star helicopters will give you an unobstructed 360-degree scenic viewing!
On Kauai, riding one of Hawaii helicopters is perhaps the best way to see the majesty and breadth of the island.
Take a thrilling trip over majestic Manawaiopuna Falls, which you've seen in Jurassic Park.
Get unparalleled views of Napali’s cliffs and the secluded valleys once occupied by ancient Hawaiians and hover over the expansive chasms of 10 mile long Waimea Canyon.
In Maui, fly above the mist and dip down to explore deep valleys set in ancient rain forests of West Maui mountains.
Or, fly over Haleakala’s crater, over cinder cones, hairpin turns and hundreds of waterfalls in Hana to the rugged shoreline of northeast Maui.
And how about 2 islands in one go?
Many of the Hawaii helicopters combine Maui and Molokai. On such a trip across the Pailolo channel, you get to discover some of Hawaii’s tallest waterfalls along the very remote and isolated north shore of Molokai.
Capture on video the breathtaking views of the world’s steepest sea cliffs that soar more than 3,600 ft tall from the ocean and impress your friends back home!
In Oahu, with such a bird’s eye view from a helicopter, you can see the sunken hull of the Battleship USS Arizona, fly over the site of many secret alii (royal) burials in the Punchbowl, even wave to the friendly dolphins and seals at Sea Life Park ;)
Or, enjoy a short 15 min. ride to see the sparkling lights of Waikiki at starlight and impress your
loved one!
At your feet will be the legendary hotels such as The Royal Hawaiian and The Halekulani, plus all of the wonders of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
These helicopters will offer you plush accommodations, refreshments, noise-canceling headsets and... yes, even champagne!
So how much is it going to cost you to ride on a helicopter?
This unforgettable experience that can last from a brief 15 minutes to 1½ hours for a complete island tour can be anywhere between $100 and $450.
But you can save up to 30% combining such an aerial tour with other activities like a ride in the Atlantis Submarine, snorkeling and diving adventures, horseback riding or Hummer tours.
You will have to make reservations at least 2-3 days in advance, so that's one more reason to book online, ahead of time.
