Captain James was great taking us to great places to see lava and big calderas. Would for sure recommend this tour.
One of the best things I have ever done on a holiday. Brian was a fantastic pilot. Would recommend the same trip to anyone who asks.
Awesome flight, Gardner is the Morgan Freeman of Helicopter pilots, smooth, classy and knowledgeable!
Best tour in Hawaii. Totally worth it. Recommend to everyone who wants to do the volcano tours.
Brody was amazing, Wonderful tour. Would recommend it to anyone.
Joffery was wonderful! Blue Hawaiian runs a wonderful helicopter ride, we all enjoyed every minute thoroughly! thanks again for a flight of a lifetime! The Reynolds Family PS: don't miss taking this ride if you are visiting

Beth was an amazing pilot/guide! It was a great experience!
Went in Aug 2017 with two kids (8 & 10) and my husband as the "big treat" on our vacation. It was awesome. Andy (I think) was our pilot, and he was great. Thought the kids would be scared (they aren't big fans of flying), but they loved every minute of it. We had great weather, and there was tons of lava bubbling up the day of our trip. Our pilot made sure to circle around so both sides of the helicopter got great views (there were six of us total) and lots of pictures. I loved that they had perfectly timed the soundtrack with where they expected the chopper to be -- rock music on take off, sort of brooding, spooky, intense over the volcano, something happier when looking at waterfalls -- even my kids noticed it! We drove over from Waikoloa since it was less expensive to depart from Hilo and we had a car, and we enjoyed the drive (tho do plan for 90 min - 2 hours). It was beautiful driving over, and really gave us a sense of the diverse topography of the island. One tip: do NOT wear light colored clothing inside the helicopter. It will reflect off the polarized windows, and your ghost image will be in all of your pictures. The crew told us that before we left, and thankfully, we had darker shirts for our kids so we didn't screw up the pictures you will inevitably take.
Fantastic tour. Scott H was very informative and friendly. He was obviously a fantastic pilot. Pity about not being able to take my tablet to take photos. I do not accept that it is because they are larger than a regular camera! Cameras can be big and bulky and block other passengers view. I was on a window seat and would not have been swinging my tablet around to block some else's view. Crazy rule and I am very disappointed that I was not able to capture the beauty first hand. Disappointing Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
Incredible!! 100% worth the cost. Best part of the whole trip, above all the other islands and tours.
A wonderful way to start the day! Scott H was our pilot. He was very professional, skilled and interesting. It's a treat but I highly recommend it!
Outstanding! Best way to see Hawaii!
It was great! Great views very smooth and the person was very polite and answered all the questions. 5 stars and super great!
The ride was very smooth and calming. I was able to see many waterfalls and the lava running inside the volcano. I really liked our tour guide, he answered all of our questions and his taste of music was very good. The view was incredible and I would suggest this tour.
