I got a same-day single-seat booking with a pretty decent coupon-book discount by "Local Expert" (have a look for these; the coupon books are everywhere and you can find deals), and drove over from Kona for the tour. The staff were friendly. If you have a light-coloured shirt they'll lend you a black one so you make fewer reflections on the windows for photos. No bags or hats allowed aboard, cameras OK. My coupon came with a keeper shirt and free DVD of Hawaii by air. The safety briefing was a bit confusing because they go through both helicopters' protocols before you know which type you'll be on. They should divide you up first and tell groups "this particular seat harness/safety info applies to YOU." We did have to wait some time on the tarmac, maybe partly for a recalculation of weight and balance when one of the passengers backed out feeling ill. I can see how the middle rear seat would be much less fun, especially if you want photos. And you do get a better view of the land on the way out if you're on the right side. I lucked out with the best seat up front. Our pilot Wesley was funny, friendly and full of information. He answered lots of questions and included everyone in the conversation, remembering people's names to point out what was on their side. He sounded like someone who thinks he has the best job in the world, and maybe he does. He also circled around features so people on both sides got views. The ride was smooth, the views fantastic. We saw the new lava fields from last spring's eruption, Fissure 8 in the distance, craters you can't get to from the road, and looked into the maw of now-sleeping Pu'u O'o. The waterfalls portion was very short -- just one -- although he did take us looking for whales near the harbour and we spotted one briefly. Last time I took a helo tour (Kauai, with Hawaii Helicopters) the video of your tour was free (it was a VHS, so that's how long ago it was!). Nowadays, you gotta pay for them and it was $40 on a USB stick. Plus 35% CAD exchange, ouch, but, how could you not want to replay this epic tour at home? At the terminal, there's a little souvenir shop with shirts, hats, toy planes, etc. A staff person checked over the video and showed clips for those considering buying it. Helicopter tours in Hawaii are crazy expensive... but, look for last-minute or attraction-book deals, as this is a must-do activity and a great adventure -- at least when the weather's fine. I will be looking up Blue Hawaiian on my *next* trip ;)

Thanks to Chris for an awesome tour, great music, and information. He made it really fun!! Chris made the tour humourous and exciting and made sure we were all comfortable. 13/10 would do again, but only with Chris.

We had an awesome time. Our pilot, Chris, was fantastic. Shared great information about the beautiful island. Can't wait to come back.

ask to fly with Lauren.

Julie was amazing! This was our first time in a helicopter. We had such a great time. The flight was so smooth, she pointed out different beaches, and made us feel really calm as passengers.

Very enjoyable Helicopter tour "Valley of fire and waterfalls". Our pilot was very knowledgeable and pointed out several different areas and notable interests, it was worth seeing the island from an aerial perspective and viewing places you can only see from above.

Brian, Thank you so much! You made Dakota's 18th birthday an amazing experience that we'll all never forget. Not only was the tour absolutely beautiful, but you made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. We also really enjoyed all your information and comments. Again, thank you! Mahalo, The Tabor Family

Amazing views, comfortable flight and friendly pilot with kids.

John was very knowledgeable. Wish the weather was better.

Fantastic trip! We greatly enjoyed our time exploring Hawaii!

Loren was amazing, the island is beautiful. A must do!!!!

Beautiful exciting views of Volcanoes National Park. We flew over craters, calderas,and streams not seen without long hikes from the ground. There are no active volcanoes at this time. The pilot, Beau was very informative. These helicopters are outfitted with wonderful camera systems so be sure to purchase of copy of your flight.
