While acts of nature are not guaranteed, there has been a heightened level of lava activity since December 2024!
The massive eruptions of the world's most active and unpredictable volcano have changed the face of the Big Island in spectacular ways. On the Discover Hilo tour, you'll embark on a breathtaking adventure, seeking out the island's newly formed volcanic landscapes, black-sand beaches, lush rainforest and waterfalls.

We all had a blast. Pilot was great with my 2 year old. Got to see a crashed bomber which was pretty sweet.
We have done the Big Island Spectacular with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters in October 2025. The flight was okay but not as spectacular as they advertise. Our biggest disappointment was that we were placed at the back seats and a selected couple was placed at the copilot seats and we paid same money but could not see much or photograph due to reflections, blockage and only a small side window available. It also appears that company only allows to publish good reviews as we were not asked for a review so we think only passengers who were placed on front seats could be reviewing the flights. Not recommended from our experience.
Who had a fantastic time? The views were amazing. We sat in the front with the whole window to look out of and take pictures. Our pilot, Chewy was very knowledgeable and I found out a lot about the local area, We saw where the lava went into the sea 15 years ago when we were here last. A great experience. I recommend it highly
