How much experience do the pilots have?

All Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilots are highly experienced. Each pilot is required to obtain certification as a State of Hawaii Tour Guide.

Will we be the only ones in the helicopter? How is seating arranged?

You will be sharing the flight with other guests. Couples and families are seated side-by-side as much as possible. They cannot guarantee particular seating as it is often dictated by the FAA approved “weight and balance” program, however, visibility from every seat is excellent in the A-Stars helicopters, since there are no cabin partitions that would block part of the view as is the case on other types of helicopters.

Does this tour have any weight restrictions?

An adjacent, empty seat purchase is required for each guest weighing more than 240 pounds. The charge for an adjacent empty seat is 50% off the regular tour price. This open seat ensures comfort for you and all of the guests on your flight.

Does Blue Hawaiian make a video of our actual tour?

Every flight is captured on a high-quality DVD. Each helicopter is equipped with four cameras; three external and one in the cabin. The video recording begins during the boarding process. On the video, you'll most likely first see yourself as you approach the aircraft for boarding. To orchestrate the most interesting video, the pilot chooses between the forward, side or internal camera as the flight progresses. The cabin camera, for example, usually shows you right after lift-off. The recording is continuous until landing and includes digital quality music chosen to complement the changing scenery, plus all the pilot's narration. The video is available for purchase right after you return from your flight.

Are there any physical limitations I should be aware of on this tour?

Aside from the weight restrictions, it is also unadvisable to join Blue Hawaiian on their helicopter tours if you participated in SCUBA diving 24 hours prior, or SNUBA 12 hours prior to the trip. You can, however, SCUBA or SNUBA after the helicopter tour without restrictions. You may snorkel or swim prior.
