Hawaiian helicopter ride?

We are planning to take a helicopter ride. My question is on which Island should we do this, Big Island, Kauai, Maui? Thank for you help.

It depends on what you want to see.
Red lava flowing into the ocean- then the Big Island
Beautiful valleys, waterfalls and mountains- then Kauai
Haven't taken a helicopter on Maui so don't know what you'd see other than Haleakala and the Hana Coast.

Last May, we flew Blue Hawaiian on both the Big Island & Kauai. Booked online prior to leaving the house to save significant $$.

I'm glad we did both islands! They were different, but both spectacular! I do not feel the 'need' to do it on Maui or Oahu.

Another vote here for seeing Big Island with Blue Hawaiian {Very professional with safety being their first concern}
.
We did the longest tour and we were treated to volcanoes, lava, waterfalls, lush valley and the spectacular change in landscape over the northern part of the island.

I am not a hiker. I want to be able to see things which I would not be able to see from a road or an easy trail. and I am not sure which island would be most beneficial with a helicopter.

I believe either of the two I mentioned would be great!

We did a tour of the Na Pali Coast via helicopter on Kauai; it's one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen and a wonderful vacation memory for us. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The view is breathtaking.
