The massive eruptions of the world's most active and unpredictable volcano have changed the face of the Big Island in spectacular ways.

Chewy was an awesome pilot and tour guide. It was my first ever helicopter flight and I am hooked! If you want to see the beauty of Hawaii and experience the history of this special place, take this tour. You will not be disappointed.
A lifetime dream of mine was fulfilled and such a gorgeous place to see from above! The employees were professional and fun and the helicopters had great visibility! I loved that the flight was narrated by the pilot himself and that we got to ask questions. Our pilot “ Chewy” was awesome! Mahalo!!
We had booked the Discovery Tour for September 12 departing at 7:45am for three adults. We left Waikoloa at 4:30am in order to arrive at the Hilo airport prior to departure time. At 7:00am I received a call from Eric confirming our arrival time. Once we arrived at the Blue Hawaiian office, we watched the safety video and was informed that the pilot was on his way from the hanger. At 8:00am Eric receives a call from the pilot that he had a family emergency. We were given the option to wait till 10:30am in hopes that another pilot could take us. I asked Eric if we could do the tour from the Waikoloa base and he said yes but only for the amount of time we had already paid for therefore we would not get the tour they had purchase and no compensation was offered. This is very disappointing and poor customer service. I understand there may have been a family emergency but Blue Hawaiian should have another pilot on stand by or find a solution for the tour we missed out on.
