9:15スタートということでヒルトンワイコロアヴィレッジで8:30ピックアップ。ビデオで安全講習?あり、エコスターに乗り込みほぼ定時出発。キラウエア火山火口、翌日にジャガーミュージアム行く予定ながら上空から火口を(当日溶岩が下がってミュージアム展望台から直接赤オレンジ色の溶岩見ることはできませんでした)見物。プ オーオー火口で溶岩プール見てオーシャンエントリーの場所へ。ダバダバと水道蛇口の様な流れ込みだそうですが、水蒸気が激しく風が弱かったためか真上に上がる湯気で赤い色は見ることできません(早朝・夕暮れが水蒸気も赤くなります)でしたが付近の海の色が変わっているのが判るのはこのツアーならではのものでは。大揺れのボートから見る自信は無いので島一周のほぼ2時間の旅(私は2回目のハワイ島でのヘリツアー、前回は別会社1時間程のツアー)子どもは大喜びででした。 事務所に戻ってホッとすると直ぐ送迎バンが出たので今回は機内映像直ぐ買うの時間が無く 事務所に上のモニターに映っていただけに残念。午後は別会社ツアーでカラパナ溶岩台地歩いて溶岩流見に行ってきました。
First, the staff here are amazing! We managed to get terribly lost on the way to Lihue and were late for our flight time. They were able to get us on the next tour, and couldn't have been nicer. We flew with Scotty G and he was a great guide. This is truly one of most memorable things I have ever done. I was a worried about motion sickness, but took Bonine and wore sea bands. No problem at all. Worth every penny!
great helicopter ride with a very informative pilot. 3-4 lava sites visited, multiple waterfalls. introductory safety lesson very good. a very smooth ride in a climate controlled cabin. Everyone gets a view of the sites.
We took the Big Island Spectacular trip around the island and to put it in a one word description "amazing". We paid up and took the Eco-star helicopter and it was worth the money. Our pilot Greg was great. He was knowledgeable and humorous. This was a memory that we will have forever. I highly recommend this.
Very good.
Our pilot Rick was extremely informative and obviously experienced. The sites were breathtaking. Who knew a rainbow was a complete circle. We loved every second of the trip.
Amazing adventure. Captain Jack gave us excellent views and information on our trip. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Hawaii.
best thing we did on Island , though expensive, definitely worth it!! Pilot Scott was fun and informative and great engaging three teenagers, a senior and both parents. thanks.
This was my husband and I 6th year wedding anniversary and Tim made it great. We are truly excited and blessed to have flown with Tim and your company.
The tour was a fun, eye opening experience. Wesley was an enjoyable, informative pilot. My first helicopter ride and it was a thrill, thanks again, Blue Hawaii!
Great trip. Jason was our pilot & tour guide. He spent just enough time over the lava on the coast and inland and saw the waterfall. Very informative and friendly. Thank you!
Julie was an awesome pilot. Smooth as butter. The music and flight was surreal- we even got to see a double rainbow. Thanks Julie YOU ROCK!Steph & Leslie Konsig
pilot was awesome. Did a great job of telling everyone about all of the surroundings and history.
Tis was our second time on a bluehawaiian tour, and it was fantastic and 5 stars are not enough Greg was great and gave us a lot of information and the beauty was unbelievable I will recommend bluehawaiian as the only one to use. Thank you so much Andy and Kathy Stierwalt
Loved the ride and commentary!
