The ride was great, a spectacular way to see and experience the island that you will not get from the ground. You can take in the beauty of the island in a whole hour.

We had the most amazing time on our tour. Our pilot, Beth, was knowledgeable, friendly, and her soothing voice helped those of us who were a little nervous. The music was perfect.

Brody was fabulous! He was informative, interesting and personable. I felt very safe. Loved loved loved this!!

Esther was a great pilot and the tour was a lot of fun! Everyone was very professional and made me feel very safe. I definately recommend the tour!

Flight was amazing, pilot was very knowledgeable about the volcano and he clearly answered any questions asked.

Very professional organization and knowledgeable staff. They provided thorough orientation briefing, safety procedures and escorted us from loading and return to building. This was the ONLY way to get near active Fissure #8 since entire area was still restricted. I would still recommend the trip even if area was open to public.

We opted for the 2hour trip - mainly because everything else was booked out, and we had limited time before leaving the Big Island. The main goal for us was to see the Kilauea activity. Was expensive and took in parts of the island we felt we were less interested in. The day we flew, the vog was really bad everywhere around the saddle road and south. We flew out past Hilo and round the bottom of the island seeing where the flow was steaming into the ocean. Couldn't see any orange lava as such, but still amazing views and couldn't get anywhere near Fissure 8, but such is the unpredictability of nature. Stopped in Hilo for a refuel and then up north to the huge cliffs and jungle area which was much more spectacular and beautiful than I expected. The 2 hours whiz's by so quickly and despite my earlier reservations about price and itinerary, when it was done, I can unreservedly say that this trip was totally worth it and would thoroughly recommend. Cant recall the pilots name, but he was super friendly and fun, and the ride was smooth and comfortable. Amazing sights and experience.

Appreciated the safety briefing! The tour was amazing. The sea cliffs and trip to Molokai is an absolute must for anyone really interested in the geology and history of Hawaii.The pilot made an effort to make sure that both sides of the helicopter had equal viewing time.

We had scheduled the Maui whole island tour but the weather over Haleakalā wasn’t good that day so our pilot, Hugo, flew us around the west mountains and then over to Molokai. Hugo took us to: Nakalele Blowhole, Honolulu Bay, Kapalua, the cliffs on the north side of Molokai, a few amazing waterfalls, over the mountains of Molakai, over the reef on the south shore of Molakai, and the west Maui mountains again. We were disappointed at first that we didn’t get to go to Haleakalā but Hugo made it fun and showed us some amazing scenery. Definitely it was the highlight of our first trip to Maui!

We loved seeing the lava and the ocean entry, but the waterfalls that our pilot took us to were fabulous in their own right. I also loved that our pilot was a women, she is phenomenal and a great role model! Thank you so much Blue Hawaiian!!

We had a great time, the weather was perfect, it was great to see the lava, and Wesley, the pilot, was very nice, told us histories, played songs for our daughters. Definitely recommend it!!!

Wonderful experience- great pilot, great support team, great music selection. Would give more stars if I could!

Thank you Jason, the flight was absolutely amazing and the highlight of our trip. Wonderful time spent with you and thank you for the informative talk about the volcano. Come stay with us in NZ so we can show you some of our country.

The entire tour was very logical and the pilot told us a lot of facts about the island and the eruption. Scottie does a awesome job as a pilot.

Gary and Mike S. were knowledgeable, courteous and professional. I highly recommend them.
