My kids and I flew with Merlinda on the waterfalls flight today. Absolutely amazing experience! Landing and have a snack at the base of the waterfall was phenomenal. Only downside of the experience s is the video on the copter did not record the first half of the trip where we flew through the canyons and saw all the different falls, so we could not purchase it to take home. But my camera got some good pictures.
This was the high point (no pun intended) of our 11 day visit to Oahu and the Big Island. First, for those with trepidation about flying in a helicopter, we felt very safe on our flight. The aircraft appeared new, was very clean, and the pilot (“Go”) was very experienced and professional and very entertaining to boot. The scenery was absolutely unforgettable. No trip to the Big Island should conclude without the thrilling experiences of one of the helicopter tours offered by this company.
I was nervous but our pilot Greg was a great pilot and very calming. We did the 90 minute ride and that's all we really had time to do. We came in on the Norwegian and it was the trip on the tenders to shore, then the bustrip to the heliport, the helicopter ride and the bus trip back to the harbor, small window for shopping, henna tatoos and back on the tenders. The time in the air had some beautiful views of 2000 foot waterfalls and we put down at one that was over 400 feet tall with a wave crashing shoreline...had snacks and wine and then it was back in the air for more wonderful lush scenery of the coast. I highly recommend this excursion. Awesome!
We used the Blue Hawaii Helicopters for our aerial service around and over the volcanic landscape. They are based at the Hilo airport and now that I have flown with them…the BEST I have ever used!!!! Our pilot was so knowledgeable of the area and obviously was a great pilot. He went around craters and fumaroles so all of us could see on both side of the helicopter. He was funny and answered all of our questions!!! The whole organization is super. They even filmed the entire 55 minute flight using 4 cameras on the inside and outside of the helicopter. The cost was about $60 for it but it was well worth it as it was filmed in HD and you will always have that remembrance!!! Highly, highly recommended to see the lava fields, etc. from high in the air!!!!
Kris was an amazing pilot. Thanks for your service, we were in capable hands. What a highlight to our family vacation. Excellent. Hooah!
what an amazing flight!!!! Wish we had done this the first day in HI, was a great overview of Oahu!
Done this helicopter ride several times, and it has always been beautiful and a great time!
Loren, We've been on several helicopter tours before this. You are absolutely the best. really enjoyed all the information (humorous)and educational you gave us along the way. We were lucky with the draw!!! Leroy Kerschen (Lee)
Carlos was great! Enjoyed all of it.
Marty is amazing. Such smooth flying! Best first helicopter ride!
Our pilot David (aka Utah) was a delight! The flight was incredibly smooth and full of fun facts/tunes that made the experience spectacular. Keep it up Utah!
The music was majestic, and the pilots were very skilled at flying, and the views were amazing! There's more reasons that I could explain but clearly there's a limit for typing...
Lauren, amazing pilot. Humor was top notch. Question for Lauren: Would it be too cliché to add in Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins? Haha Awesome experience
Julie was our pilot and she was great. The tour was excellent and we enjoyed all the beautiful scenery of Oahu.
Thank you for an awesome flight, and experience!!
