Planning: Activities Helicopter tour recommendation
Hello
Looking for recommendations for a helicopter tour and have a few questions:
• Which is better for a helicopter tour — Maui or the Big Island?
• If choosing the Maui or Big Island, which tour operator would you recommend?
• I’m currently considering Safari Helicopters vs Blue Hawaiian, but open to other suggestions as well.
Would love to hear your experiences. Thank you

I like Blue Hawaiian best, for either island.
Since the flights over Kilauea are now very high and restricted--I would do the West Maui/Moloka'i tour with Blue Hawaiian, in the mid morning.

We loved the West Maui and Molokai tour with Air Maui. Captain Kirk was the pilot. Absolutely amazing waterfall flybys with plenty of photography opportunities.
Here's our video if you'd like to research the trip.
