This tour was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was an incredible way to see all the various land forms on the Island - from pasture land, to cinder cones, to plunging waterfalls, to lava flows, to jewel-blue coastline. It was spectacular to get views of that we could see no other way. Our pilot, Tom, was informative and friendly. So great!!
it was great
The pilot, Derek, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the recent eruption and made several efforts to make sure everyone had the opportunity to get great pictures. Highly recommend the tour- worth every $
What a fantastic ride. Pilot Wesley had it all lined up. Got to see fresh lava showing the extreme power of nature and it’s relentless march to the coast. This is definitely one for the bucket list. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
I was amazed that there was so much lava and the waterfalls were really powerful.
There was way more Lava than I expected and it was spectacular! The waterfalls were also pretty cool
His name is Michael
Our helicopter pilot Scott McGregor was great. They’ve got this down. We were canceled earlier for safety concerns which is fine - safety first. They added a time slot for us at end of day. Informative, saw sites you couldn’t see hiking or boating, and got around entire island in less than an hour. Pricey for a family of five, but something all of us will always remember.
We did their 1 hour tour over the island of Kauai in May 2018. It was absolutely amazing! The scenery is unbelievable and to fly over the entire island and see all the sights from a helicopter was incredible. Highly recommended! Note - we were originally scheduled to do it on a Sunday but just before we were supposed to go, it was cancelled due to bad weather. I'd much prefer not to fly in bad weather so I was happy with their decision but sad not to go. However, they rescheduled us to a few days later and we able to do it no problem that time. Thanks for you customer service!
Es increíble ver desde un helicóptero las islas de Hawaii, nosotros lo hicimos en Oahu y Kauai y lo volveríamos a hacer. Es un modo de descubrir sitios que no es posible llegar de otro modo 100% recomendable
My husband and I have flown several times now on the Circle of Fire flight to visit Kilauea, the beautiful coastline, and the nearby waterfalls. Every time the trip is top notch and every time it is a little different - given current conditions from weather to volcanic activity to the pilot leading the journey. Most recently (June) we toured to witness the amazing activity of the volcano and in particular Fissure 8 where we got to see nature in action that literally amazed us. Lava spurts and spews high into the air as well as the lava flows directly into the ocean, literally forming new land instantly. The tour company has been super friendly every time and the pilots while they all have their own personality and style for tour guiding - have been top notch. I will continue to take a flight as often as I can because I love it so much. And when I do...it will be with Blue Hawaiian!
We took our teens on the circle of fire and waterfalls tour. We saw Kilauea up close (could even feel the heat) and the beautiful waterfalls. We booked through Expedia and the person we spoke to was able to get us on the eco copter (comfortable bucket seats, better viewing.) My husband and I were in the front and our two kids in the back. We were told to wear dark clothes so that they were not seen as glare in our pictures. This was good advice. This was our first time in a helicopter and we felt safe. Our pilot was knowledgeable and explained during the flight. Well worth the time and money for this once in a lifetime adventure.
Chris was a great pilot!! His playlist was 10/10. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed his personality. The trip has many great sites and tons of rainbows as well. I would definitely recommend.
Unbelievable experience. Words cannot describe the beauty of the sites and professionalism of staff. Would highly recommend this as a must do experience.
Jack was a great pilot and was very informative.
