The entire staff is wonderful. The trip is amazing - seeing lava from the crater, finding a live lava tube and then seeing sooooo many waterfalls. Finally, landing on their own secluded spot where you are up front and personal with the largest waterfall. No rush, they really want you to enjoy your trip. Melinda was our pilot and she was fanatastic. Very knowledgeable about everything while you are on your ride.

Although I live in Waikoloa on the Big Island, my granddaughter was visiting from Oregon so we went for a helicopter ride and it was fantastic. We drove from Waikoloa to Hilo and caught the helicopter from the Hilo Airport. You need to arrive early to watch a safety video but after that it is so fabulous to see the volcanic area from the air and so close. The Eco Tour is a little more expensive but...you get an individual seat, not a bench seat and the viewing is so much better. If anything dont miss out on this ride, then get the video on a flash drive when you're done to share with family back home.

I see there's over 1,000 'Excellent' ratings for this experience and I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said before. If you are waffling on whether or not to spend the money, as it's certainly a very expensive hour of your life, think about it in terms of the LIFETIME of memories you will have from it and then it looks pretty darn inexpensive for sure! Our pilot, Scott, was both funny and informative. He clearly absolutely loves what he does and this added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. We also broke one of our cardinal rules, which is to NOT purchase the post-experience photo/video and we are so glad that we did! Not only does the video allow us to share our experience with family and friends back home, it has provided us with footage of ourselves in the helicopter and the expression on our faces as we cross over various landmarks is priceless! Also, as there were four of us, we bought two videos, as the second was only $10!

My wife and I took the eccostar volcano tour. The flight with Audie was very informative and enjoyable. We were looking directly down into a lava lake. The falls were an added bonus.

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!!
