Great photo-op on viewing the lava flow as Wesley provided multiple turns to allow us to take multiple shots on the flowing lava. Spectacular view and most likely the highlight of our vacation.
Brodi our pilot was very good we enjoyed the flight. It was well worth it. Very friendly employees with great customer service. mahalo!
the pilot was good. he fly very smoothly
This was an experience of a lifetime! I couldn't imagine a better way to see all the beauty of the islands. Thank you so much to our pilot Jack for sharing so much of this incredible place!
It was specktacular! Pilot was excellent and very informative. The lava flowing into the ocean was outstanding and we even saw whales jump out of the water.
Very professional operation, we are so lucky to be able to see this land from the helicopter. Brody was excellent, could be a documentary person, the whole flight could be a documentary. Thank You.
We took the volcano flight tour. If you have never been in a helicopter this is a nice comfortable way to try it. But, it is pricey at $223 per person although you can find some discounts. It takes about 45-50 mins (air time). There is also a longer tour that sees more of the island for about $500 per person. They operate tours on several of the other islands also. We flew from Hilo airport south towards the volcano seeing some old (dried and hard) lave flows and circled the lower slopes where we saw a hole with some active lava in it. We then went further south to where the active flow falls into the Pacific causing large steam clouds. However, it can be hard to see the actual lave because of the amount of steam. We also flew over a nearby falls on the way back to Hilo airport. Did not see the top of volcano which was somewhat disappointing. Ok, but not awe-inspiring to me.
We had Mark for our pilot today. From our arrival into the office till we walked out the door was executed properly. What a GREAT team. They were professional and friendly. The entire experience was spot on. We saw so many waterfalls I lost count and the flight into the crater was so exciting and my favorite part. The island is beautiful to drive but to see it this way you see it all!
We called late in the afternoon and we're able to book a trip for the next day last minute before we left. Customer service was very helpful. Our flight was amazing, could not have had nicer weather, and our pilot was great. We would always recommend a flight to really see all of the island from a different perspective.
Best flight ever, never felt unsafe, very well pilot explanations Best recommendation!
suggest you do a full turn around Arizona Memorial so that all can get a good picture
Amazing views. Fabulous pilot Hugo. Would recommend to anyone.
This was undoubtedly the best heli ride I have ever taken and the narration was superb!! I am a private pilot and aircraft builder which is/was a highlight in my life.....this has been a very very close second... Mahalo
Jack was a wonderful pilot and tour guide! I loved the eco-star plane because I am prone to motion sickness and I felt great! Definitely recommend when you come to Maui!!
Excellent tour! Our pilot, Jack, was great and was very informative. Loved it, will recommend to anyone and will do it again someday!
