About Blue Skies of Oahu
Fly over Oahu with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on a 50-minute route from Honolulu Heliport, with views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Kaneohe Bay, Sacred Falls, Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. The Eco-Star helicopter includes individual seats, large viewing windows, Bose noise-canceling headsets and two-way pilot communication.

Restrictions
Weight Guidelines:
For each passenger weighing 240+ pounds (109 kg), an adjacent empty seat is required to safely balance the aircraft and requires an additional surcharge equal to 1/2 ticket price.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires that each each passenger is weighed prior to departure. This weigh-in process is very discrete when you check in. Any significant variance in the weights provided and actual scale weight could result in flight delays or possible cancellation.
Front Row Seating Add-on Restrictions:
Combined Front Row seat weight must be under 470 lbs and individual passenger weights must be under 240 lbs. Should the actual weights at check-in exceed any of these limits guests will be accommodated in other seats and allowed a refund for the upgrade fee.
Front Row passengers must occupy their own seats and must be able to refrain from interfering with the pilot and instrumentation. NO LAP CHILDREN IN FRONT ROW. In the event of an emergency front row passengers must be able to receive instructions in English and be physically capable of operating exit doors. Chair lifts can only access the rear row seats, therefore guests requiring a chair lift cannot be accommodated in the front row.
You MUST have with you:
Passengers need to bring a government issued photo ID. International passengers will need their passport.
Special Notes
Children 23 months or younger may fly at no charge and must sit on adult's lap. Please provide child's weight at time of booking.

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.
