About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is Hawaii's largest and most established helicopter tour operator, flying out of Kahului Heliport on Maui since the 1980s. With a fleet of Airbus EC130 Eco-Star helicopters — the quietest, most spacious touring helicopter available — they offer an aerial perspective on Maui that is impossible to see from the ground. From the 10,000-foot summit of Haleakala to the hidden waterfalls of the West Maui Mountains, Blue Hawaiian covers it all.
Their Maui flight menu includes a 30-minute West Maui and Molokai tour, a 45-minute West Maui loop, and the signature 65-minute Complete Island tour that circles the entire island including the remote Hana coastline, Haleakala Crater, and the towering sea cliffs of Molokai. Every seat in the Eco-Star is a window seat with floor-to-ceiling glass, and noise-cancelling headsets provide narrated commentary from the pilot throughout the flight. Flights depart from the General Aviation side of Kahului Airport multiple times daily.
Blue Hawaiian's edge is experience and safety — they have flown millions of passengers across the Hawaiian Islands with an impeccable safety record and FAA-certified pilots who average thousands of flight hours in Hawaiian airspace. Their Eco-Star fleet is newer and quieter than the Bell and Hughes helicopters used by many competitors, making for a smoother ride and clearer conversation. For visitors who want to see the seventy percent of Maui that is inaccessible by road — the hidden valleys, cliff-face waterfalls, and volcanic craters — a Blue Hawaiian flight is the definitive way to do it.
