Sean was remarkable! The views and the music that was timed through the tour made it even more spectacular. We would recommend this tour to anyone!

Glenda is really great!

When we booked our trip in January, we had no clue Mother Nature would be putting on a show. We really lucked out because the weather was beautiful. It rains a lot in Hilo but we got a sunny day. Our party was 6 people so we had the ecostar all to ourselves. We could see fissure 8 spewing lava in the distance and the lava making tons of steam in the ocean. Definitely look at the before and after pics of how the land has changed over the past several weeks. Our pilot took us as far in as he could go (there is a restricted air space for safety reasons). Make sure to wear dark clothing but you still sometimes get a glare on the pics. I would definitely buy their video of your ride! You have to check your bags (you can't bring anything on the helicopter other than your camera. no iPads, etc. you can bring cell phones in airplane mode).

Staff excellent and Pilot was amazing and descriptive

Truly superb experience. Above the professionalism, knowledge, and smooth piloting skills, Brody's passion, love for the land, and his moving commentary made it an absolutely awesome experience. Thanks for making our 40th anniversary so memorable. Mahalo.

Awesome experience, a must do!

Brodi was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and I loved hearing about ancient Hawaiian history! The ancient warriors were fascinating and the views he showed us were AMAZING! Thank you for making this trip very special for us! Jason & Jill

From the Driver Bobby to the Pilot Gardner it was the single most amazing event that we have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. We will definitely be back for another adventure. David, Allan and Cheryl

Absolute must do on the Islands!

I read some of the 1 and 2 star reviews and they all seem to be concerned about cancellations or poor visibility. I can understand this, but we were well prepared by our hotel and knew the risks. The island weather on the windward side of the island can change very rapidly and the current volcanic activity means that the pilot have to be cautious about sulpher dioxide and visibility. So they literally may have to cancel a flight while you are there, but this is a little unusual. We lucked out with an excellent weather day. We got a fantastic view of the coast. There was only one volcanic vent working while we were there, but it was very impressive, shooting lava 500 feet into the air. Our pilot was very friendly and informative and we had a nice family with us on the ride, so were were fortunate. This is the largest operator on the island by far, but they did not lack the personal touch. The person walking us to the aircraft was very friendly and helpful. I would pay attention to the recommendation. If you don't wear a darker neutral color, they will give you a pull over. Don't try to bring any backpacks or carry ons. Listen carefully and follow instructions and you will have an excellent trip. There are no bad seats! It is very unfortunate that so many people have lost their homes. If you fly you may want to consider a few relief dollars with the Red Cross or a local organization. It would be nice of the operator had a provision for this.

We spent 2 nights in Hilo, with a Blue Hawaiian Eco-Star "Circle of Fire and Waterfalls" flight as one of the anchor experiences. Fellow pilot Mike S was phenomenal. Besides being an extremely safe and proficient pilot operating in a challenging environment, he went out of his way to make sure both sides of the aircraft had opportunities to see and photograph the landscape, lava, and other points of interest. He recognized and appreciated that I had brought a large professional camera onboard and really worked to set up the shots for me. Despite weather, volcanic hazards, and temporary flight restrictions, the flight was a highlight of our vacation. We were able to see the "laze" plume from the ocean entry (photo included here), active lava flows, lava fountains from fissure 8, and more. In one somber moment, we also witnessed a home burning down, which really hit home and brought into perspective the human toll and consequences for the local residents impacted by the volcano. As a serious amateur photographer, pilot, and travel lover I would highly recommend this tour.

Jeremy was a great pilot and tour guide!! Mother Nature is truly amazing!!

Hugo was the best pilot I've ever had the pleasure of flying with! I believe my viewing experience was greatly enhanced with his commentary and humor.

This was a fantastic tour and something we will do again and should not be missed simply stunning and an experience not to be missed

What an amazing once in a life time experience, many thanks again Brodi for fantastic insight to your island and culture. Regards Rick & Sandra
