One of the best things we did at the Big Island! We've NEVER ridden a helicopter before and we flew with our 12 year old with Down syndrome who has sensory issues to loud noises. Honestly, most of our family didn't think he'd be able to join. BUT we showed him the video footage from Blue Hawaiian Helicopter's website to warm him up. Then, we called in advance and the company said we could come earlier and were so friendly and accommodating.
When we arrived, we were greeted and Juliana in particular was so welcoming, patient, and understanding with us and our son. She made sure he had time to warm up and feel comfortable.
Our pilot, Greg, was good! He was informative, friendly, and very patient with our son and family. We filled the helicopter. And we got to view some of the most breathtaking scenes of our lives.
