One of the best ways to see the Hawaiian Islands is via helicopter.  When you purchase a Hawaii Helicopter Tour, you’ll get a birds-eye view of the stunning landscape and coastlines of the islands, and be treated to one-of-a kind scenery.  Want to know more reserving a helicopter tour in Hawaii?  Here’s the inside scoop:

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter:  This outfitter operates helicopter tours for all of the four major islands – the Big Island (Hilo and Waikoloa areas), Maui, Kauai, and Oahu.  They are one of the most respected tour operators in the Hawaiian Islands, and have been recognized by National Geographic as “Hawaii’s premiere helicopter tour company” and The Travel Company as the “Top Ten World’s Best Helicopter Experiences.”

• Hilo Tour: With this option, you’ll get to tour the most geologically active environment on earth – Hawaii Volcanoes National Park – home to the Kilauea volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983. Tour emphasis is on the most current areas of volcanic activity. You will view lava flows and black sand beaches as well as tropical rain forests and small cascading waterfalls while learning about the history and culture of Hawaii.  Flight time is approximately 50 minutes. 
• Waikoloa Tours: There are two tours offered at the Blue Hawaiian Waikoloa headquarters.  The first – the Kohala Coast Adventure – highlights the coast, valleys, and waterfalls of the Kohala area. Many consider this area to have the most spectacular scenery on the Big Island. The towering sea cliffs open into the dramatically deep and meandering valleys of the Kohala Mountains, with waterfalls and remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements visible. Flight time approximately 50 minutes.  The second tour option is the Big Island Spectacular, which combines the Hilo tour with the Kohala Coast Adventure tour.  Flight time for the Big Island Spectacular is approximately 2 hours.
• MauiTours: Blue Hawaiian offers five different tour options for Maui.  Choose between:

                  - West Maui Mountains: Flight Time – 30 Minutes
                  - Complete Island: Flight Time – 65 Minutes
                  - Maui Spectacular – 90 Minutes
                  - Hana/Haleakala – 50 Minutes

                  - West Maui and Molokai – 50 Minutes

All of these tours showcase the beauty of Maui, with different (or all) areas highlighted  during each tour.  These tours highlight Maui’s emerald rainforests, vistas of Mt. Haleakala, the meadows of the Upcountry, the jagged cliffs and cascading waterfalls of the West Maui Mountains, and even Maui’s sister isle, Mokokai. 

• Kauai Tours: A Kauai Eco-Tour is the premiere helicopter tour for this island.  You’ll enjoy a 55-minute tour that begins with a flight to spectacular Hanapepe Valley, and then continues on to Mana Waiapuna, commonly referred to as "Jurassic Park Falls." Next it's up the Olokele Canyon before moving on to eye-popping Waimea Canyon, the famed "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Then, the sculptural masterpiece of the Na Pali Coast gives way to the Bali Hai Cliffs, and the pristine blue waters of Hanalei Bay and the Princeville Resort area. Finally, you'll visit Wailua Falls and, weather permitting, Mt. Waialeale, the heart of the ancient volcano. This is the wettest spot on earth, with an average rainfall of 450-500 inches annually! Flying into the center of the crater with its 5000-foot walls towering above and its 3000-foot waterfalls surrounding you is a truly awe-inspiring finish to your ECO Adventure over the Garden Isle.
• Oahu Tours: The Blue Skies of Oahu tour, which lasts about 45 minutes, will take you on a scenic journey during which you’ll experience this Island's hidden rainforests, lush valleys, and beaches. You'll glide over the vivid turquoise coral reefs of Waikiki, look down into the extinct volcano of Diamond Head, view crescent-shaped Hanauma Bay, white-sand Waimanalo beach, Chinaman's Hat and the beautiful coral formations in Kaneohe Bay. You'll soar over the cliffs of the Nuuanu Valley rainforest, and then fly along the breathtaking coastline to Sacred Falls and the panoramic Dole Pineapple Plantations. Your Blue Skies of Oahu adventure will also include sweeping views of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri.
