THE BLUE HAWAIIAN DIFFERENCE There's simply no argument: Blue Hawaiian is Hawaii's #1 helicopter tour company. Blue Hawaiian's aircraft maintenance technicians have received the FAA's coveted Certificate of Excellence, Diamond Award every year since 1998. No other helicopter tour company in Hawaii has ever received this critical recognition. Blue Hawaiian was honored by the FAA for its record 12th straight year in January, 2009, at a ceremony in Honolulu, and the FAA further honored Blue Hawaiian with the very first Certificate of Excellence, Platinum Award. And Blue Hawaiian is the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii certified by the Department of Defense.
Welcome to the Blue Skies of Hawaii. Blue is the only helicopter tour company serving all four major Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. That means wherever you go in the Islands of Aloha, you know exactly how to get the world's finest aerial tours: just remember the color of the sky.
We don't just operate the best equipment, we help develop it. From the ultra-quiet, spacious, and powerful 21st-century Eco-Star helicopter to the breakthrough Garmin G500H technology, which gives our pilots astonishing three-dimensional synthetic vision terrain awareness in less than optimal weather; from our pioneering of multi-camera in-flight video, to designing vastly improved cockpit air-conditioning—Blue Hawaiian is always at the forefront of leading-edge innovations for your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Because when it comes to our guests, good enough is never enough.
The finest pilots in the sky. Blue Hawaiian prides itself on hand-picking only the finest and most experienced pilots—the absolute cream of the profession—and every one of them is a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide. Blue Hawaiian is also the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii with its own state-of-the-art Flight Simulator, and the only one that puts its pilots through annual factory and FAA recurrent training.
Un-Cruise slideshow Hawaii, March 2014 by David Julian
Some memories of our recent Un-Cruise and my photo workshops lead aboard a 36-passenger luxury yacht Safari Explorer sailing out of Kona, HI.
Our trip with a really great bunch of guests took us to Lana'i, Molokai, L'haina, The Big Island and in the path of dozens of Humpback whales. Snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, high-diving, hiking, learning a ton and making Poi with indigenous Hawaiian elders, healers and family.
Captain Mike and a truly knowledgeable fabulous crew made our stay and meals unforgettable.
I'm still working it all off!
Here's to all of ya, dive in, and bottoms up!
These clips were shot with a pre-retail sample of the awesome Olympus TG-850 Tough Camera. (YouTube compression degrades the actual quality of these clips by about 25%.)
These are linked video references for my upcoming full review of this camera on Digital-Photography-School.com .
Once review is released, I'll post the URL here.
Any distance shots, such as sunsets, etc were with a 35mm SLR.
Safari Boats, Exploring the Liberty Shipwreck on Lanai - Tom Barefoot's Tours
I've been going on these sorts of excursions with my Dad since I was a small child and exploring the liberty ship that is grounded at shipwreck beach on Lanai has always been a fantasy that I've had, that has never materialized into reality until today. Before I go into an account of the day I want to go over what factors contribute to this being such a special experience, mainly the wind and the surf conditions. The first thing that made today possible was the wind. The winds we have in Hawaii that we refer to as the trade winds are some of the strongest, most consistent winds in the world that blow about three hundred of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year. These winds come out of the North East and get funneled through the channel between Molokai and Maui then accelerate westward to the low lying island of Lanai where they issue beatings to the North and Eastern coastline of Lanai on an almost daily basis. These winds were absent today so the water conditions resembled a swimming pool instead of the normal choppy conditions with heavy onshore winds. We were also a flat period between our large winter swells so the wave size was very small which is also rare this time of year. So anyway the point I am trying to make is this was a one in a million Lanai day.
Now about the journey around the shipwreck. When my friend Bill and I got in the water at the shipwreck we were immediately greeted by a medium sized sea Turtle. I followed the turtle around for a while and then swam to the backside of the boat where the Captain had told me about some under water ledges underneath the wreck that had some nocturnal fish congregate in during the daytime. I found those and then took a moment to observe the side of the wreck when I noticed a knotted rope that was dangling down from the top of the wreckage. I figured that this was my opportunity to fulfill my childhood fantasy of exploring the huge liberty ship so gave my fins to Bill to hold on to and started climbing.
Once I got about half way up the rope I began to realize how decomposed the wreckage was and how dangerous this adventure was turning out but I threw caution to the wind and kept on climbing. Once I got to the top of the boat I was able to observe the top deck which was remarkably intact considering that the boat has been weathering on the reef for over fifty years. I cautiously tip toed around the top being very careful to test each step before putting all of my weight down. Even with my careful steps I still managed to cut my shin enough to draw some blood. I explored the wreckage for about fifteen minutes then jumped off back into the water, I don't know if I would ever do it again because it was extremely dangerous but luckily in this instance curiosity did not kill the cat and I was able to check out the wreckage of the Liberty ship on Shipwreck Beach, Lanai. What an amazing experience!

Absolutely worth every penny. Emery was a great pilot and tour guide. Can't wait for our next visit to do another part of the islands
I am continually impressed with the professionalism of Blue Hawaiian. Your operations set the standard for helicopter tours for safety and precision. Well done.
Erik and the staff were fantastic and the tour was AMAZING!!! Extraordinary way to see the island. I highly recommend it. I wanted to go right back up.

You'll be a star, or at least fly like one. When you choose Blue, you're choosing Hollywood's first-call helicopter tour company for blockbuster aerial photography. In addition to the upcoming mega-releases Battleship and Pirates of the Caribbean IV, our pilots have flown aerial photography for Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Tropic Thunder, Pirates of the Caribbean III, Crimson Tide, George of the Jungle, Honeymoon in Vegas, and numerous other major motion pictures, not to mention television shoots for MTV, The Food Channel, National Geographic, the Weather Channel, Wheel of Fortune and more. If these top professionals trust Blue Hawaiian with their multi-million dollar productions, perhaps Hollywood knows something you should know?
Living Aloha, every day. All of us in Hawaii have a responsibility to uphold the islands' proud tradition of hospitality. Years ago, the late cultural pioneer George Kanahele (author of Ku Kanaka: Stand Tall) showed us the incredible potential of using our helicopters as flying classrooms. We took that mission very seriously and since then have invested in Hawaiiana education for all of our employees. Our pilots offer our guests insightful and accurate information about Hawaiian culture, flora and fauna, history, geology and place names. Our guests are able to ask their pilot questions through our proprietary two-way in-flight communication system, which enhances their involvement, and when they share their knowledge with their friends and family upon returning home, the outreach extends. It's an honor to do our part to help preserve Hawaii's precious native culture.
You don't have to take our word for it. Only Blue gives you the confidence of consistent and repeated endorsements and awards from the most important international, national, and local organizations in the travel industry: National Geographic Magazine, Frommer's Hawaii, The Travel Channel; the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, the Tour Operators Program of Safety, Helicopters Association International, and more. Blue Hawaiian is also the local Hawaii favorite, regularly voted the #1 Air Tour by the local readers of Hawaii Tribune-Herald, West Hawaii Today, North Hawaii News, Kauai People and MidWeek Kauai, and The Maui News.
Un-Cruising through the Hawaiian Islands with Linda Ballou on Around the World TV
Linda Ballou shares adventures on the high seas with Un-Cruise sailing in the Hawaiian Islands. Whale watching, swimming with Manta Rey, snorkeling in with spinner dolphin- an up close and personal look at nature. A wonderful way to explore the Islands. Subsequent to this interview I changed the title of my book to Wai-nani: A Voice from Old Hawai'i. I changed out the cover and made a few text corrections, but the story remains the same. I added questions for book clubs at the back of the book. On Wai-nani: A Voice from Old Hawai'i playlist you will find the answers to the questions.
