I had never been in a helicopter before today and I loved the experience! We visited the volcano and flew above the clouds to view the waterfalls and Mauna Kea. Awesome! I will definitely ride in a helicopter again! Thank you, Pilot Pat!

Firstly, Brodie, Tonya and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful adventure, flying through your beautiful island. It was without a doubt the highlight of our trip. For the both of us there were moments where it was a little emotional. You are truly blessed to be able to do this every day, which you clearly appreciate yourself, your love and passion for your home is clearly visible. We will be recommending this tour to everyone. Thank you so, so much. Grant and Tonya

wonderful. Great pilot as well.

It was our first trip in a helicopter, and it was incredible. The views were amazing. I could just get lost in the moment. Truly a "bucket list" kind of experience.

Shay was great. Ride was wonderful. Loved seeing the island

The views of the island were beautiful. The tour was great

We had a great time on our tour! It was a fantastic way to see the most beautiful parts of the island.

It was our first helicopter ride and we enjoyed it tremendously. Our pilot Brandon was excellent and he was very personable and made sure that everyone was able to take pictures and enjoying the ride. Thank you, Annette & Devo, aloha

This tour was amazing! Rick was such a great pilot, he took us on a really nice ride and explained everything we were seeing. This was a highlight of our trip so far! Thank you!

Our pilot was Jeremy, he was informative and was very safe. He spent time at the areas where there was lava and waterfalls and gave us history on the island. A very enjoyable experience, will do it again

Tanya, Robert, Carmela and Ken thoroughly enjoyed your flight and commentary. Very informative. Amazing views. Unforgettable flight. Brody you were awesome. We will be highly recommending this to our fellow Aussie travelers.

Amazing views, great Pilot (Barrett) very knowledgeable about Hawaii and just a really nice guy! Would definitely fly with Blue Hawaii again! Well worth the money and time! Thanks again for a wonderful trip! Mary and Donna

Amazing experience and the pilot was so nice. Absolutely loved it!

I did lots of research before choosing Blue Hawaiian, and was very impressed with their safety and professionalism. What disappointed me was where they seated me on the helicopter. I had the back window seat on the left, and the pilot showed us sights primarily on the right side of the helicopter. I understand the need to balance weight for seating, but I am only 5’3” and could not see over the front seat occupants, both of who were quite tall. The height of the men in the middle seats in back prevented me from seeing out the right back window. I would have appreciated it if Mark, our pilot, had turned the craft so that I could see each sight as well. Since we were back in our car at 10:45 for a 10am tour, I think he would have had time to do this.

Overall this was a great experience but less than we expected. Naively, we expected to see flowing streams of molten lava just as shown by all the brochures from all the tour companies. We did see molten lava, but mostly black with some red. We did see lava flow into the sea but again, black and mostly obscured by steam. We did see quite a lot of red molten lava in the crater and that was definitely special. However, the helicopter seating arrangements are not equitable. The back row seats 4 persons, one at each window and 2 on the inside; I was one of the unfortunates with an inside seat. The viewing is definitely limited from these seats compared to window seats or front row seats. At U$300 per seat I expected at least an equal viewing opportunity as the other passengers. I couldn't see to my right at all because of a rather large passenger who fell asleep shortly after take-off and awoke upon landing!
