Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, established in 1985, is Hawaii's premier helicopter tour company. It offers unparalleled aerial experiences across all four major Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.

Renowned for its commitment to safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction, the company has set the standard for helicopter tours in the region.

Fleet and Aircraft

Blue Hawaiian operates a modern fleet of state-of-the-art helicopters, including the Airbus H130 Quiet Technology EcoStar models. These helicopters are equipped with advanced technologies, materials, and avionics, ensuring a smooth and comfortable flight experience.

Notably, the EcoStar models feature 60 square feet of panoramic glass for maximum visibility, individual "First Class" seats, and a raised theater-style platform in the rear, providing exceptional views for all passengers.

Tour Offerings

The company offers a variety of tours tailored to showcase the unique landscapes and attractions of each island:

• Oahu: Experience the island's stunning coastlines, lush rainforests, and iconic landmarks from the sky.
• Maui: Soar over the world's largest dormant volcano, Mt. Haleakala, and explore dramatic sea cliffs of Molokai's north shore.
• Kauai: Discover the "Garden Isle" with aerial views of the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and cascading waterfalls.
• Big Island: Witness the diverse landscapes, including active volcanoes, lush rainforests, and the stark beauty of lava fields.

Safety and Recognition

Safety is paramount at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The company's maintenance technicians have received the FAA’s Certificate of Excellence, Diamond Award every year since 1998, a testament to their dedication to safety and quality.

In 2013, Blue Hawaiian was acquired by Air Methods Corp., the largest provider of aerial medical transport services in the U.S., further enhancing its operational capabilities.

Community Engagement

Beyond tourism, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters has been actively involved in community support. In August 2023, the company paused its tourism flights to provide disaster relief efforts in Lahaina.

They transported thousands of meals, water, medical supplies, and evacuated guests during the wildfires, demonstrating their commitment to the local community.
