Had a fantastic "Circle of Fire + Waterfalls" tour out of Hilo on the Big Island. Was up in the air for approx. 45 minutes - got to see volcano crater up close (see picture) and flew over many interesting parts of the island. Helicopter was great and comfortable. My two teenager kids got to sit right up front next to the pilot. Only disappointment was that we were told the entire flight would be recorded and we could purchase the video afterwards for approx. $40USD. After our flight, we went to the office where they asked if we wanted to buy the video. I asked if I could see some of the video footage first, at which point they then told me that our video did not record properly, but we could instead buy a canned version of the same flight video, but it would not include interior footage of ourselves, or the recorded flight conversations we had. At worst, this felt like a bit of a "bait & switch" tactic, and at best it's disappointing that after spending close to $2k CDN) for our family, we could not get the souvenir we had been told we could get. However, to put this into perspective, had we never been told that a video of our flight would be available, we would have left this excursion 100% satisfied.

We really enjoyed our Helicopter adventure. Very professional. My wife was dreading it, and ended up loving it. It is amazing how much new land has been created by the recent eruptions. While there isn't any flowing magma to be seen currently, there is still plenty of steam and vapor showing. The coastline is amazing and the crashing waves tremendous. I've been to the National Park as well, but was much more impressed with the views from above, especially since the National Park is half shut-down. One word of advice is to take a Bonine before the flight, and if you are especially prone to motion sickness, mention it to the pilot in advance. Some pilots take more circles than others. Great for the view, not so good if you are nauseous.

This was absolutely the best tour we have done. Loren was an awesome guide, very informative as well as humorous. We had a blast and would recommend this tour to anyone who has never been on a helicopter before.

Kiwi was an amazing pilot and guide. The Eco Helicopter was fantastic with great views for all.

Laren was our pilot and we was thorough, informative and FUN! Our flight was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for us and we were so blessed to have Blue Hawaiian assist with making our son's Make a Wish-wish AMAZING! Thank you to all associated with our experience.

Great tour! Good job Bo!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter's is an amazing helicopter touring company offering various options. Hugo was our pilot and he was fantastic! He was very personable and made everyone feel comfortable. His music playlist for the flight was magical and matched every part of the tour! Hugo is a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions. We also were able to see whales and Hugo made sure passengers on both sides of the helicopter got to see. Make sure you book in advance and look at the weather forecast! Overall, an amazing company to explore the beautiful island with!

We did the Kohala Coast Adventure tour and it was absolutely breathtaking! Everyone at Blue Hawaiian was very friendly and focused on safety. Our pilot, Devon was great - very knowledgeable! The scenery was unbeatable. It was the highlight of the trip and I would highly recommend the tour!

It's all good!

Excellent crew on land and air. Best way to really see Hawaii, Honolulu.
