First, it is not Blue Hawaiian's fault that the weather on our day wasn't reasonable for a flight over the volcanos and they did appropriately cancel our flight and refund our money. My problem was that we had driven 1 1/2 hrs over from Kailua-Kona to Hilo. When we tried to reschedule we were told that the only thing available was 9:00 AM the next day. Since they require you to be there 45 min before the flight this was just too early to drive 1 1/2 hrs with a high probability of weather cancellation again. It seems to me that they are just a little heavily scheduled. If you are going you might want to schedule two flights 48 hrs apart. They have a 24 hr cancellation policy so if the first flight goes, you can cancel the second. If the first flight is cancelled, at least you have a second chance to go. I know this sounds like I'm taking advantage of them, but I feel like they sort of took advantage of me.

Must do to the Volcanoes and Lava. We did a land tour afterwards for the different perspective of more hands on but if you really what the lay of the land and to see the lava flow you need to be the air above it. We rode in and Echo Helicopter with two other couples and the pilot, Ethan. Ethan did a great job of maneuvering around so that everyone was able to see and experience the view. Pretty cool! Would definitely recommend and do again! Thanks for a wonderful experience Ethan!

We had a fantastic flight with our pilot Greg. So professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this company to anyone!!

What a fun time! Blue Hawaiian staff are very professional and safety-oriented. We took the 45-minute helicopter ride over the volcano and waterfalls, then Greg took us over the water to see whales, which we did! Hard to see much from the air, but there were definitely Humpback whales. Greg was great....telling us about the volcano and answering questions. Every passenger wears a headset and you get a microphone so you can communicate with the pilot. One warning: the website warns you to wear dark clothing because light colors reflect in the windows for picture-taking. That includes skin!! I wore black shorts, but my legs and arms reflected in the pictures!

Scotty, Red Beard, was a most excellent tour guide and Pilot of what seemed to be Mordor. We didn't find the ring, my precious, but the waterfalls and lava flows were ama, ama, amazing.

Our trip on Feb. 10th to Maui/Molokai was perfection! Eric is an exceptional pilot and shared such great information during the flight. We loved every minute! Can't wait to return for another spectacular ride...Thanks for the memories!

This was the first helicopter experience that we had where the pilot would circle around so that everyone would get the same view. It was a great experience to see the waterfalls from way above. Was sad to see the lava flow coming close to the town. We weren't able to fly directly over the volcano due to the smoke, but he got us as close as possible. Cannot take bags/purses, can take your camera/phone. They have free locker rentals to store your items if you do not want to leave in the car.

this was our first ride in a helicopter. We were Lucky to have good weather and Coleen as our pilot. She was awesome, friendly, very knowledgeable. We took this tour through the excursions of the Pride of America, our cruise ship, called "ultimate helicopter ride". First we did a tour of the island with Kapohokine who were awesome too and finished with the helicopter over waterfalls and the volcano! We saw some little lava flows and the ride was smooth and Coleen made sure everyone could have a great view! this was the best time of our cruise, our 7 years old daughter just loved it! thank you Coleen and blue hawaiian, this is much Worth the expense!

We took the 45 min tour of the circle of fire and waterfalls and this was the highlight of our trip. Coleen was a fantastic pilot. She circled around to make sure we all had a great view regardless of which seat we were in. She was able to provide lots of interesting information. The views were tremendous. Would do this again in a heartbeat. Went in the ecostar chopper. Very friendly, professional and safety conscious staff.

We had always wanted to do a helicopter ride to see the island. I was a little nervous however captain Greg put me at ease immediately. What a great flight. Over lava fields and waterfalls saw humpbacks and calves. The entire ground crew were great helpful courteous and knowledgeable. They cancelled earlier flights in day for. High winds so we were first flight of day at 2 pm. That was why we choose Blue Hawaiian they won't fly if it's not safe. They have the highest safety rating in Hawaii. It is expensive and well worth it to fly the best.

The only way to see actual lava flows during the time we were there was via helicopter. Scott was a wonderful and knowledgeable pilot who explained everything we were seeing with gusto! The whole family from kids to grandparents had a fabulous time seeing the lava inching towards Pahoe and the Pu'u O'o vent percolating. The ride was smooth and one of a kind and hit my goal of seeing live lava- still make it up to Kiluea at dusk to see the red glow from the crater!

Our first time in a helicopter. Outstanding--one of the best experiences on our "bucket list." Will recommend to all we encounter.

The ride itself was awesome, but we were a little disappointed in the sights. We were expecting to see the crater and get up close to some waterfalls, but did not. We did see burning lava fields and beautiful coastline views. Pilot Greg was very informative, safe and attentive to all. All seats had a great view but he went out of his way to circle the sights in both directions so all could experience the same view. We will use this firm again on another tour.

We got a lucky break in the weather and were able to fly. Our captain (Tim?), was great, offering observations and ably responding to guests' questions. While there are walking tours to the lava flow, this was a wonderful alternative. The waterfalls were merely OK, maybe after the excitement of seeing the lava.

The island of Hilo was the first stop for the Carnival Miracle ship on January 22, 2015. The Ring of Fire helicopter tour was a tour I had booked some months in advance. I was not to be in any way disappointed. From the time our group was met at the cruise terminal until I stepped off the helicopter the entire experience was wonderful and worth every cent. Our pilot Tim was fantastic. He knew so much about the local history and geography not to mention making sure that everyone in the helicopter had ample opportunity to take pictures and see whatever we were flying over. The opportunity to purchase an actual copy of the very tour we were on with audio clips of our conversation and the wonderful views from the helicopter was an added bonus and great keepsake. I recommend this tour and the tour company to anyone who wants a special way to see a bit of the island from the air.
