RICK WAS GREAT!
Barrett was a truly excellent pilot and funny and informative. So worth it!
Christopher was an excellent pilot and great tour guide. Also made us feel at ease flying in a helicopter for the first time. Awesome experience!!!!!!!
Brody We took a helicopter tour when we were here in 1986 and it was the highlight of our vacation. The tour with you was once again the highlight. We really enjoyed listening to the reverence in which you hold the island. As you said we would we definitely fell in love with Hawaii. Thank you so much for the experience!
Awesome flight, great experience, our pilot (Patrick) was awesome, smooth take/off landing and during the flight, great explanation of everything we were seeing. definitely will be recomending
Amazing the views were incredible. Our tour guide Carl was very knowledgeable, coureous and very personable I would definitely do another tour.
Brody was fabulous. Couldn't have asked for a better guide to see the island. Made the experience that much better!
WOW, incredible, amazing to see the lave flowing into the ocean and the vent, the waterfalls were beautiful. Carl was fantastic,so much fun and knowledgeable.
Our tour guide Carl was very interactive, offering numerous tips and anecdotes that added to the experience. We went to several exciting areas and he made sure that everyone had a view of the terrain. It was overall an amazing experience!
Excellent tour. Brodie was fantastic. Loved every minute!
I'll preface my review by saying that I very rarely book excursions. I prefer to explore without tour operators. I made an exception for a Big Island helicopter tour because I really wanted to see lava. Unfortunately there was very small lava flow going into the ocean, which was cool, but not what I was hoping to see. There was no other lava flow happening on the island at all. If you don't see amazing views of lava, then this helicopter tour is too expensive! However, if you are absolutely set on doing a helicopter tour, then blue Hawaiian is a good operator. They can't control the weather and lava flow! But they are friendly and professional. Our pilot was Patrick, and he was funny, professional, and experienced. The ground crew was great. Helicopters are spotless clean and safe. They offer a really great video of your trip for purchase for only $40. I've seen videos like that and operators charge $100 and people pay it, so $40 is pretty good, and the video is well done.
Do NOT leave Kauai before taking this trip. I was a bit worried at first but after 2 min I was just in awe of the views and the pilot was soo good, I felt completely at ease and able to enjoy the trip and the fantastic views. You have not seen the island until you have experienced it like this from the air. Do not miss this trip!
This is a must to do tour to appreciate the overall beauty of this island. Greg was our pilot and he did a great job of providing amazing information. You must have a window seat or you will miss the photos of this one time opportunity.
We took the Ring of Fire tour at 3pm. Our pilot was knowledgeable and made sure that no matter where you were sitting in the helicopter you could see what he wanted to show you. The beginning was rocky as the ground crew was not very organized. We were told to arrive at 2:15 for the safety briefing. We did not get a briefing until almost 3 and that is when we were suppose to be taking off. We were staying in Kona so it took us 2 hours to drive to Hilo. Plan a day outing if you are driving over there.
