Equipment
Blue Hawaiian's fleet is Hawaii's largest fleet of touring helicopters. Their EC-130 Eco-Star helicopters have comfortable, individual seats for every passenger that afford the kind of shoulder room and personal space found in airline "First Class" seating. The Eco-Star is also significantly quieter than standard touring helicopters and offers more interior space, with 65 square feet of glass for panoramic views. A 4-camera video system captures touring memories to bring home for a lifetime keepsake.
