This spectacular Blue Hawaiian Eco-Star aerial tour reveals all the highlights of the island "where Aloha began": picture-postcard Diamond Head, awe-inspiring Pearl Harbor, the sights of Honolulu, plus the "other" O'ahu- a tropical bounty of hidden rainforests, valleys, waterfalls and beaches that many visitors never get to experience.
Waikiki Beach is just the beginning. Experience the phenomenal scenery of this amazing island’s hidden rainforests, lush valleys, and beaches. You’ll soar over the cliffs of the Nu'uanu Valley rainforest, then fly along the breathtaking coastline to Sacred Falls and the panoramic Dole Pineapple Plantations. Your Blue Skies of O'ahu adventure will also include sweeping views of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri.
Fly in the touring helicopter specifically designed for air tours – the incredible Airbus EC 130. This state-of-the-art marvel gives individual business class style seats and expansive glass for sweeping views.

Experience of a lifetime!

5.00We cannot speak highly enough of our helicopter tour with Markus as our pilot. He put everyone at ease immediately and provided great details about all the areas that we flew over. It's great to read that Blue Hawaiian's pilot training standards are higher than other companies (they also have their own simulator for training). We loved how the background music playlist was perfectly appropriate to the areas we were flying in. We were also very impressed with how professional the entire staff was from office staff to ground crew to our pilot. The helicopter was immaculate, and the windows didn't have a scratch which made for amazing photos. The helicopter windows and seating make for excellent viewing from all seats. We have had many different experiences in Hawaii through different visits over the years, but our helicopter tour today was a highlight of them all! Thank you Markus and Blue Hawaiian- we're so thankful we chose you for our helicopter tour!
Fun time with friends

5.00Marcus was very knowledgeable and the tour was great. We saw a whale and many island highlights. More expensive than other but worth the cost.
Very bad experience

1.00We were very upset and dissapointed after waiting 2 hours and spending $100 on transport getting there, we were told that our ride is cancelled. It happens. We get it. However Blue Hawaii did not put us on next flight ( and cancel people who didnt even get there yet ). Yes, they offered for another day but that was not an option for us. So in summary, we spend two hours and $100 on transport without accomodation by the operator. They really should have bumped people from future rides on the same day who didnt spent $ or time like we did. It was very inconsiderate.
Very educational

5.00Come prepared to learn about the history of Hawaii. Also, if you have any type of motion sickness, you might want to take a Dramamine before.
