We took the flight out of Hilo to the volcano. Two items in my bucket list taken care of at the same time. We had a great experience right from the beginning from booking to the check in and the flight itself. Our pilot was Jason and he was very knowledgeable and kept talking to us most of the time. I enjoyed the flight including the sharp turns although I don’t think everyone else enjoyed it. The helicopter was the older model and a little cramped to seat 7 people includingthe pilot. We took off first among the group but returned last so I guess we got the most bang for our buck! The views of the volcano, the falls and also the lava flows was awesome! Thanks to Jason for making sure people on both sides got great views and photos by doing multiple passes on both sides over the volcano and the falls. Overall a great trip and unforgettable experience. We also ended up buying the custom video of our flight.
Amazing scenery from sky view. But I don’t recommend to those who have bad motion sickness?.. I was excited the first 15mins, but after that’s it’s seem forever the rest of the flight.. helicopter ride was in my bucket list and so I don’t regret the sky tour at all. Loved it!
We had a very nice flight. Our pilot was Pat. Great views of the volcano and falls. Very knowledgeable about the area. Took a lot of time answering the questions of a 6yr old.
One of the best helicopter ride. Super knowledgeable stuff. Great way to enjoy Hawaii!!!
Excellent from beginning to end. Great pilot. Fantastic views of the volcano and Waterfalls. Just amazing views no matter where you sit.
The helicopter tour with our children yesterday was the best. In particular, our pilot Paul explained it to us very carefully and let us see the lava and crater flowing down. I wish I could thank him again and see him again
I really enjoyed the volcano helicopter tour on the big island of Hawai'i. We got to see aerial views of the island including towns, solidified lava paths to the ocean, an active cauldron, and waterfalls. We decided on the helicopter tour, because the boat tours have been suspended due to no lava flow at the coastline. We did get to see some lava flow closer to the cauldron and boiling inside it. The staff was friendly and made us feel safe. Price is steep but well worth the trip.
Our pilot Jason was amazing! Great experience! ���
High light of the trip. Casey was awesome, sights were amazing. A must!!!
Great time, our pilot, Westly very informative. Got to see hot lava. Would highly recommend this journey.
Flew right around the volcano that erupted the next day without them or any officials really being able to predict anything. It was a very risky but good tour with knowledgeable and friendly personnel behind the counter and in the air. The kicker to the story is I really was bummed the volcano had no visible lava around or inside of it just boring white smoke.... then.......POOF! Eruption, earthquakes, lava and more lava ALL over the news. Be careful what u wish for!
Fantastic!!!! Great pilot. Wonderful experience. Worth every penny
Great Tour, thx to Scott and happy birthday to u?
Excellent
Our 9am got canceled due to poor visibility. We appreciated that they didn’t herd tourists out without the chance to see what was being paid for. We got on a 5.00pm helicopter tour. It was really great. Our Pilot Esther was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The delay gave us time to explore Hilo more. Did the zoo. King Kamahamahes statue. The Naha stone. And, then petted baby goats. Saw rainbow falls and Akaka. Perfect ending was @BlueHawaiianHelicopters
