Awesome - Benjamin flew us and showed all the precious things around the whole island. Blue Hawaiian is highly recommended for awesome tours. I would give even six * if possible. Benjamin switched to German explanations due to we all were German. Perfect experience. We did it twice and it is worth every cent! Awesome! Thanks to Blue Hawaiian

8 am tour - Very fun ride! Our pilot, Benjamin, was very knowledgeable and informative!! We went at 8am and it was a bit over cast, but the views were amazing! The falls were a little disappointing and flying over Pearl Harbor could have been a bit more. Other than that, awesome!!

Very Cool! - I was scared but it was a great time. The wind defiantly made me hold my breath from time to time but overall the pilot was great and was very knowledgeable. Seeing Pearl harbor from that view was amazing. And flying over the mountains and looking down into waterfalls was unreal.
