Absolutely fantastic experience. Not to leave Hawaii without it checked on your list !
We took the "Big Island Spectacular" trip, which was about 2 hours long, in the Eco Star helicopter. Starting in Waikoloa we flew to the volcano and then north along the coast before returning to base. Greg O was our pilot and explained all about what we were seeing. He even made his own mix that uniquely matched the terrain we were flying over! We've been to the Big Island several times already and this was one of the best experiences we've had.
A two hour tour is the best deal. I can't imagine just choosing to see the volcano or waterfalls. Both areas are magnificent. Viewing the lava flow into the ocean was an amazing sight. Seeing the keyholes and waterfalls was just as impressive as the other side of the island. The ride was smooth and the helicopter a Cadillac. If you can afford the extra cost for the nicer helicopter, do it.
The trip was amazing. We got to see lava flowing into the sea, beautiful scenery, waterfalls. So glad we took the trip. Carl was an excellent pilot and tour guide. We would highly recommend this trip.
Get tour. Neat to see the lava flow into the ocean. Need to repair the loose air ve3nt louvers. They kept closing in flight and my wife got overheated.
So incredibly beautiful!!!!
Amazing and safe! Pilot was super knowledgeable too! Told us a lot of info about the volcano and the island. Was slightly nervous about flying but turned out to be the best part of our trip!!
Great flight! Saw the lava as well as whales and dolphins. A bit hazy from the volcano but still loads of fun and great views!
Excellent pilot, love Loren's commentary
Amazing way to experience the beauty and scenery of Kauai!! weather was a little rough but our very competent pilot handled the turbulence with calmness and professionalism. DO THIS!!
ERIC was highly entertaining. Great flight.
Lauren was awesome, Great flight
Can't wait to get in a helicopter again. Only way to do a tour.
We did the 2PM flight with Scott and had an excellent tour. His 25+ years as a pilot really showed in his smooth operation of the helicopter and knowledge of the terrain.. The flight covered the entire island including diversions to show guests their hotels as we returned to the airport. His narration of the flight really helped us understand the ecology of the island and how the mountains effect the rainfall. The ground crew did a great job with the safety briefing, coordinating access to the aircraft, and taking photos after the flight. We recommend the flight to anyone wanting to see the interior of the island along with the beaches.
Chad was a super pilot and the safety brief and strap in were done very professionally by his helpers. Chad was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour history and the helicopter. Blue Hawaiian exceeded our expectations and I'm a military pilot with 28 years of flying experience. We would highly recommend the tour/flight to anyone. God Bless!!!
