This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was an ex-navy pilot and provided a wonderful tour of the volcanos & waterfalls. He was friendly and provided lots of history as we flew.

This is a must do. Well worth the money. Me and my wife were a little worried about the potential motion of the helicopter and entered with some apprehension. This was no problem and we really forgot we were in a helicopter as we enjoyed the views.

We took tours on both Hilo & Maui! We have another booked for Oahu in a few days!! It was the BEST money spent on our vacation! From the start the booking agents are friendly and ready to assist. The grounds crew are organized and prepared to keep you safe! Our pilots: Jason in Hilo and Micheal in Maui were fabulous!! We highly recommend this to everyone interested! I’m on planes 3/4 weeks a month and flying in a helicopter was actually better! I felt safer!! Book now!!

It was very cool to take this helicopter tour and both of us enjoyed a lot. It was quite different to view from the sky and the ride was quite smooth. Though it was very expensive to spend 50 minutes for tour for over $200 dollars. 6 ppl +1 pilot will be together in the helicopter. Pilot was very funny but it looks like that there was a internal score system to inspire them to please the customer and our pilot was trying even harder to please the larger group (we are 2 ppl group with another 4 ppl group) and not talk to us so often. One suggestion that you may be left outside the airport fence after checkin without any blue Hawaiian staff, waiting for your own helicopters. No one told you when your helicopter would come and if you are not lucky enough, you may wait up to 15 min to get on your ride.

Great views of the volcanoes, lava flow and the waterfalls. We circled over the opening of the crater so we could see down into the crater and see the hot lava. Fascinating to see the lava flow and how it destroyed the section of the island. Enjoyed the trip!

The brochure obviously shows the lava entering the sea. But we saw that only a split second. Don't set your expectation too high to avoid being disappointed. Nothing to do with the helicopter tour company. This is nature. However we did see the boiling lava inside the volcano from all angles.

Fantastic experience circling the bubbling volcanoes, seeing the lava flow and the extraordinary coastline of Kona (Big Island), the magnificent waterfalls, valleys and vegetation. We even followed a pod of whales frolicking in the ocean - just a fantastic trip. Our pilot was very knowledgeable, relaxed and funny which made our trip even more enjoyable. This was the only Must do thing on my list whilst visiting Hawaii and it certainly didn't disappoint. Our family group of 7 thought the trip was absolutely fantastic and enjoyed the trip immensely. I had the middle seat in the back row and had no problems seeing the sights.

We were scheduled to fly over the volcanoes but the clouds were below minimums so we flew between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and then up the coast to Hilo and along the North coast and back to Waikoloa. The pilot was excellent, describing what we were flying over, interesting facts and his personal feelings about his favorite places on the island. We were glad that there was flexibility in the flight plan. In some ways the north coast is more spectacular than the volcanoes.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable ride with Grego! The music that played during our flight made it all more fun. It was a great ride with spectacular views of the volcano, waterfalls and valley.

I flew on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters from Hilo, even though we stayed in Kona. The pilot was terrific and our 50 minutes flight was well-scripted and gave us a great view of so many volcanic features. If you're staying in Kona, you really should drive to Hilo - the drive is beautiful and take this shorter and less expensive ride, rather than flying all the way from Kona - unless you really enjoy lots of time in a helicopter

This was a great trip! We hiked to the Volcano and then took a helicopter to see the lava from the air. It was pretty cool. We also did the waterfall landing and Huamkua Coast. Excellent. A little pricey but well worth it. Went in february. saw few whales from the air. The whole body, mom and calve. neat. The lava flows from the air amazing. This pilot was great and the staff wonderful. Very safety minded operation which is always a PLUS!! They offer you coffee and water while your waiting for the safety briefing. Book this. You won't regret it!!

Took my two kids (age 11 and 15) on a 2-hour tour. The first thing to note was the professionalism of the pilot and the quality of the aircraft. Both were excellent. The helicopter offers excellent views no matter what seat you get. The layout is 3 and 4 which means 2 people get a front row seat with the pilot. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the flight was smooth. The highlight was stopping at the base of a 900 foot waterfall and where we could exit and walk about. All in all, this was a must do experience and one we will not forget.

Our helicopter tour on Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was very enjoyable and well-run. Despite the rainy weather, we saw a lot, including molten lava breaking through the hardened lava and some beautiful waterfalls. We also learned a lot about how the volcanoes have shaped the island from Jeremy, our helicopter pilot, who handled the rather windy flying with ease.

After days of bad weather with no flights, our 1PM flight was approaching and it was still raining. We had to check in, weigh, and get the safety briefing and wait out till 1PM, just like helicopter tour companies do where I live. Hoping the flight would be cancelled because who wants to pay to go flight seeing in crappy weather - right? At the last moment we were cleared to fly and were loaded in the ECO Star. Wow as this thing nice but I got one of the middle back seats. Turned out on the flight, the pilot made a loops around all the sights multiple times going in both directions so both sides of the helicopter could get to see everything. Thank you Jason. My view was not bad at all and my wife who was the most excited and planned the excursion was sitting next to the door and was happy with her view. Oh and our friends that we invited got assigned the front seats were on cloud 9. We did not know our seating assignments until we were getting loaded. Had we as a group known earlier, we would have asked to put my wife in the front but oh well. Ok the sites... You have to fly over quite a bit of residential, undeveloped land and old lave flows. The bubbling calderas you fly over are not up high in the park but rather down closer to the water. The view we got to see was very cool and there was lots of different things to see and be explained by Jason. We then followed the flow to the water where it was not flowing into the ocean so we did not see all the steam but oh well. We got to see where the roads were cut off and neighborhoods dealt with lava flows regularly in the past. Overall I say the money was worth it, even on a crappy day. What made it more special was going to Volcano National Park the day before learning all about volcanoes. It made the flight a whole lot better because you knew what you were looking at a lot of the time. I had no idea there was so many different things about volcanoes. You do need to get there the full hour before your flight because of the lengthly processing and safety briefing.

My wife bought me this trip as a surprise shore excursion while on a Celebrity cruise. My first time in a chopper but the staff at Blue Hawaii went through all the safety info before we got out to the pad to re-assure us. I got the plum seat next to our pilot Esther who did a great job to guide us through the tour. Headsets and mikes provided so you can communicate easily. The trip coincided with recently increased volcanic activity in the south of the island so we headed there first to see recent lava flows before a trip around the active vent crater with the smell of sulfur in the air. Very dramatic stuff! Then on to view beatiful falls near Hilo. All in all, a great trip!
