It was very fun and exciting. Our tour guide Rick was great!

Brian, We had a great time and I am sure we made memories together to last us a lifetime. Thanks for keeping us safe and sharing your passion for the island. Best Wishes, The Yoda Famiy

Brody was our pilot today, he was exceptional, his Hawaiian heritage and compassion and loyalty to his ohana and island was amazing. Brody make us feel at home andcomfortable in his rig. We learned so much about the island and we will back. Kauai is ounew favorite island. After being raised on Oahu our entire lives we have new respect for Kauai and it's people.

We are both very pleased with our pilot and the tour itself. Wonderful scenery, probably the most beautiful we have both ever seen. And to see it in another point of view is something we couldn't imagine before. The star of the show was our pilot Brandon, who showed us the whole island and interesting spots. We can tell he has been doing this for a long time. So a warm thank you to Brandon and the Blue Hawaiian helicopter for the experience Best regards Rawand & Nadine

Great views of fissure 8. Because of the large amount of activity going on with the lava, I would have rather spent all the time in that area and forgone the waterfall.

Brody was awesome you live and work in heaven see you soon

Scott was very knowledgeable and great pilot! He made the ride fun and very interesting. Points of interest were AWESOME, we have flown with Blue Hawaiian last year and we will be flying Blue Hawaiian again because of the great staff and equipment for sure! Thanks again Scott! We hope to see you again. Remember to add the Jurassic Park song to the tour per Cohen :)

This was my second time flying with Blue Hawaiian on this island. Both times were memorable. Esther was a great pilot. She was very knowledgeable in the history of the island and the volcanoes. The flight was wonderful. Se gave us terrific views of the fissures, especially the most active from which the lava river flowed. The entire experience was top rate. Thanks Esther, and thanks, Blue Hawaiian. -- Jack Gordon

Simply amazing! The highlight of our trip! To see the lava shooting up out of fissure 8 was unlike anything we've ever experienced. So glad we booked the flight!

Very informative pilot. Great view of the new volcano activity. Awesome! A must do.

This was our 25th anniversary. I booked a helicopter for our family of five, and because I was over their limit we had to pay extra to leave the 6th seat open. It was worth it. The seats are reasonable in space but when you're moving around looking at stuff, having that extra seat open was great. Wesley our pilot, was experienced, friendly and answered all of our questions. As a pilot myself, he took all the necessary measures to insure our safety and comfort. He allowed my wife and I to give our little 25 year speeches to each other and said it was the best he'd ever heard(probably fudging that a little, but who cares). We flew right over Kiluea and go some amazing photos. It's a 45-55 minute flight and because of the lava flows it was totally mesmerizing. So thrilled to see it. Blue Hawaiian did a great job. Their gift shop is a bit crowded when the new group is coming in for their briefing, but other than that, they ran a great operation. Highly recommended. Not cheap but worth it.

The best and only way to see the lava flow from fissure 8. Awe inspiring views. It was my 7 year old son’s first helicopter ride and he loved it. We saw the lava pouring out from the fissure and were amazed to see it flow into the ocean. Spencer, our pilot was skilled and informative. Try to book early since the first two dates I tried were already booked. Remember to wear dark clothes due to reflections. If you forget, they will provide you a dark shirt to wear over your shirt.

10/10! Spectacular! Once in a lifetime opportunity! Seeing the volcano from the air was chilling but educational for our us and our kids. They loved it. The waterfalls were breathtaking and the matched music played through the headphones was such a fabulous idea. The coastline of the Big Island must be seen. Very professional team at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. One of my most memorable helicopters rides ever.

The Helicopter was great, very comfortable. The headsets worked well. 4 of the 6 seats have great views (the two middle had good views). We went to the Kohala Coast and the views were incredible. Do to lots of recent rains the waterfalls were numerous and run-in very full. Saw the 3rd largest waterfall in the world as told by John our pilot. Fortunately the weather was great. WE could not ride in the Hilo area due to volcano activity.

Even though we did not have best weather (no sunshine) it was fantastic experience. Our pilot Geoff was the best. He gave us a lot of information about the island, when we experience a little turbulence he calmly explained us that this happens on every flight and it is nothing to be afraid of. During the flight he engaged us in the conversation. At the check in they were super nice and the safety presentation was thanks to some very interactive staff very dynamic. Our flight was my early birthday present for my mum, so I asked them if it is possible to be in the front. They told me they will put that in the computer but it will be pilot’s decision on the sit order. We did get front sits. Thank you very much for that. My mum enjoyed it very much. I read in a lot of comments that the lighter person gets the front sit. Since we were the smallest in our group maybe this was also a reason why we ended up there. When you return you can buy USB key of your flight (including the recording of the conversation) for $42. It is expensive but on the other hand it is nice to have it to watch and remember it later on. It is worth the money (even though it is very expensive). You can get the filling of the whole island and it is one time life experience. Advice: Wear dark clothes
