Probably the most honest review you’ll get. I booked a trip for two At an early morning time. Didn’t get a confirmation email. Called twice didn’t get a return call. Called a third time the morning of the tour only to find out they rebooked me for a later time slot, not the one originally booked. They didn’t even call to see if it was okay, just sent an email to wrong email address. Apparently there is a minimum passenger requirement for them to fly that is not covered anywhere when booking. We chose to adjust our schedule and accept the rebooking only to be delayed approx 2.5 hours total and in the end have the flight canceled due to weather. Not only did we not fly, we lost almost 3 hours of our morning and we would have mostl likely flown if they would have kept our original morning time. With all that said, the staff was super friendly, and did put our safety above all else. If you book, have a back up plan and pay the $15 travel protection in case you need to cancel or change. I would consider attempting again.
Best experience!! First time in a helicopter and the team (Julianna and the pilot, Chewy) made me feel extremely safe. Chewy is a great character- entertaining jokes and had a plethora of facts to share about the island. If there’s one activity to do while visiting Hilo, choose this one and request to be flown by Chewy, AKA David.
