We took the Circle of Fire Tour in the Eco helicopter. We decided to spend the extra because it was a birthday present for two family members, and we wanted to make sure they had great views - which they did. The booking agent noted it was 2 pax birthdays, and they requested window or front seats (although we were told that for safety, the computer allocates seats according to weight). As it turned out, the birthday people were in the front next to the pilot! We found Blue Hawaiian had excellent communication with us over the phone and via email. The flight was great and we saw lava in the Pu'u'O'o cone of Kilauea. And the pilot was also great because he circled the cone both clockwise and anti clockwise so we could all get to see the lava. Unfortunately, our stomachs did not enjoy the change in direction. The flight gave us great views over Hilo, the lava fields with smoke coming out the steam vents and into the cone. The waterfall part of the tour was a little underwhelming. Yes there were quite a few waterfalls, but there was not much water flowing unfortunately. If this is the only volcano related activity you do, then this would have been amazing, but we visited the Volcano National Park where, in the dark, we saw the lava spattering in the crater of Kilauea. We also hiked onto the lava field at sunset and saw flowing lava. Both of those activities were equally as good without the price tag.

Glenda did a great job. The waterfalls were amazing and we enjoyed the musical choices! They really set the mood.

Scott was fantastic! Funny and showed us a great time! Good pilot and fun, informative..He is an asset to your company

this tour exceeded all expectations, we have never experienced a volcano let alone one that is not extinct. our pilot gave us plenty opportunities to take photos. thank you so much Paul

Thanks for a great tour. Amazing fun. Ryan the pilot was awesome. Would highly recommend the island spectacular tour to anyone.

It was great, I’m not the biggest fan of flying and was pretty nervous about it but it was a blast. Marty was a great pilot and the experience was amazing.

Whesley is great!

Thank you, Brody, for showing us your beautiful home. I never imagined it would be so majestically beautiful. I really enjoyed your personal stories. We were so lucky the falls were so amazing today.

Brodie did a fantastic job. The flight was as smooth at the weather allowed. But of even greater value was the narrative shared all thru the flight. Frankly, wished there was a bit more.

Mark was EXCELLENT! Thanks for giving us the most safe and smooth ride given some windy conditions! Appreciated the gorgeous views of Kauai's unique landscape. Thank you!

Wesley was so nice and accommodating. I tell mom that the world is her oyster... Wesley announced a special waterfall viewing just for her.... sooo sweet! We are so grateful, nice job!

We had an exciting and extremely enjoyable trip with Brody as our pilot. The scenery was truly breathtaking. No trip would be complete without taking this tour. Brody was a wonderful narrator. Thank you!

Words can't describe this amazing experience! I can't imagine a better way to see the island. I feel like I have been hugged by the canyons. I'm so happy I was able to do this trip! Thanks to my kids for this wonderful gift!

Such an exciting experience. Being born and raised here, I didn't realize how beautiful this island is and how lucky I am to be living here. THANK YOU! Highly recommend doing this.

Incredible. Worth every penny. Scott was a fantastic pilot.
