Pilot Brain is great!!

10/10 recommend to everyone visiting the Big Island!! We opted for the 50 minute flight and although we wished we could have done the 2 hour flight, this was nothing short of spectacular! Absolutely amazing views of the ocean, volcano, and all of Hilo! We had booked a day earlier but our flight was cancelled right before we were to head to the helicopters, but the staff was quick to rebook us and get us ready for the next day! Very glad we decided to give it another try! Our tour guide Jeremy was full of information and made the trip super fun and gave us all the details! Although we didn't see active lava, we flew right over the fissures and saw several spots where the volcano is open! Quite a spectacular sight! Both eerie and amazing!

*Fart etiquette* Get there early, they have lockers free so you can secure your valuables. Be prepared to have your seats assigned by the computer based on weight distribution for the helicopter, not an issue for us but some people were making a huge issue. Here is my big thing with this, and it doesn't have to do with the company, but rather the guests... during the safety breifing they strongly recommend using the bathroom, as a polite way, I believe, to ensure people don't FART in the helicopter. We had a lovely passenger with us, sitting up front, rooting the whole time. No need to worry about refueling the helicopter, this guy had gas for the whole fleet. Legit though, the business might wanna make it obvious, and tell people to hold it for 50 minutes. Some other passengers on our ride got sick due to some turbulence from the local winds. All in all good trip, bad smells.

Love the flight. Staff was awesome and professional. Time flys by when you are up there!

Absolutely a spectacular tour. Our pilot Brandon was very informative and he's a great Pilot. I know, because I was the Captain at Los Angeles Fire Air Operations.

Loren was a great pilot. Amazing experience. Thank you so much- will recommend.

My husband & I did the Circle of Fires plus Waterfalls tour on the Ecostar - such an amazing way to view the Big Island from the air. We went with our 4 year old son who was just completely in awe the whole flight. After a seamless & quick check in at the airport with a short safety demonstration, we were soon taking off over the sights of Hilo & towards the lava flow from the recent eruption which devastated Leilani Estates. It was just incredible to fly over the area & see the steam vents & fumes coming out of Fissure 8. Sadly the lava had stopped flowing about a week before. The pilot was very knowledgeable & had everyone introduce themselves & say where they were from. He made sure to circle around all the sights so that both sides got fantastic views. The sights over the volcano left me speechless & I didn't want it to end. The waterfalls were probably a little disappointing but overall an amazing experience & would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Big Island. Was given some great tips by our pilot on places to eat in Hilo & enjoyed the refreshments once we were back.

We had the best weather to see the volcano and its recent eruption, and our pilot, Scott, was SO friendly and informative!

Unbelievable experience. Fantastic guide from our pilot. Couldn't have wished for a better trip. Will definitely be recommending you guys. Thanks for an experience of a lifetime! Aloha.

I did the 45 minute tour and it was absolutely amazing to see the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali Coast from the air. Scheduling was very easy through their website. The pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was my first time in a helicopter and the seats were comfortable. The first 15 minutes in the air I was fine, but I then started to get some motion sickness, which I was not expecting. So might be something to prepare for if you get motion sick easily. Also, it does get a bit warm, so wear some light clothing. Very cool looking helicopters! I would definitely fly with this company again, what an amazing experience!

Jeremy was a great pilot. We fully enjoyed our flight.

best most awesome thing ever. number 1 highlight of our trip. our pilot Patrick was a smooth flyer and just made the trip so interesting and memorable! Kohala coast had amazing views and our family will never forget it cant wait to come back.
