We flew with pilot james, he told great stories and took time for everyone to see and take pictures. We saw a collapsed lava tube and active flow. Really spectacular

My wife and I went on the Circle of Fire plus Waterfalls tour on May 15. Our pilot James was great. He narrated everything and answered any questions we had. The flight was just under an hour but it felt a lot longer than that. We flew over active lava and some beautiful water falls on the way back to the Hilo Airport. The Eco-Star Helicopter was very smooth and comfortable. We bought the DVD of our flight when we got back and our pilot did a great job of moving the cameras around. Dont miss this!!!

Our 2 hour helicopter ride over the Big Island was nothing short of amazing! This is the only way to see the glowing (!) lava flows and the exquisite green valleys and waterfalls of the youngest Hawaiian Island. Our pilot Noah was competent and calm, and he shared his extensive knowledge of the history and geography of the island without "lecturing" us. And the music, which began with Coldplay's "Yellow", was a lovely background - nothing schmaltzy. I was in the middle back seat for the return journey and it was still great viewing! Expensive, yes; Worth it, yes!

This was our second time with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours. The first was in Maui last year. Today was the volcanoes and waterfalls in Hilo Hawaii. Jeremy, our pilot was fantastic and LOVED his music choices. Throughout the tour he addressed each passenger by name and interacted with all of us. He was very knowledgeable about the lava flows and gave us a wonderful and engaging educational experience. Fantastic all the way around. I will never hesitate to book a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour. Worth every penny.

We took the took the 2 hour tour and were amazed to see the vocano with active lavo flow, the waterfalls and coastline. We had great visability from both the window and middle seats (new helicopter). Yoshi was a great guide and kept us engaged and laughing. The microphones for conversation and the music were a great plus. It was fun to fly over our condo on Kohala coast. This trip definitely enhanced our outstanding and enjoyment of the Big Island. Blue Hawaiian was professional and great to deal with. We purchased the dvd of our trip and relived the experience!

I wasn't too excited about going in a helicopter but my husband wanted it for his birthday. We did the tour of the Kohala Coast and the views were spectacular. Justin was our pilot and he made me feel as comfortable as possible (for someone who was terrified). The staff seemed to take everything very seriously and were very organized in getting all the groups on the helicopters.

My wife and I decided if there was one thing to do on the Big Island it was to take the helicopter tour to the volcano and waterfalls - despite the cost being nearly as much as one of our airline tickets from NJ. We were not disappointed. The flight across the island from the Kona side to the volcano is long and not very interesting, but better than the three hours it would take to drive. Our pilot Jason did the best he could to make it interesting. Once reaching the volcano, we were treated to an active crater AND an active lava flow that had just broken through to the surface from the tube below earlier that morning. Jason turned the helicopter round and round, ever closer, banking so that passengers on both sides got an awesome view. The brief landing at Hilo was a welcome break for my wife was was a little nauseated. Jason did all he could to keep the trip pleasant for her. The trip up the canyon, past the waterfalls and into the back canyon was just beautiful. Again Jason turned us round and round so everyone got an incredible view of the area. We were lucky again as the weather was clear, enabling us to fly all the way up the canyon and out over the top of the mountain. We did purchase the video and upon reviewing it realized that our pilot Jason had banked the helicopter and adjusted the music tracks to result in video that was outstanding to watch later. He had adjusted the copter just right for the cameras to capture as much of the view as possible. Like others mentioned, we did have trouble with the first copy of the DVD as it stuck and would not play through. However, when I called Blue Hawaiian they delivered a replacement to our condo later that afternoon. Expensive trip, but the service and once in a lifetime experience made it worth it.

We opted for the short volcano tour which took 45 minutes. We flew over a portion of the active volcano Kilauea which had covered a large neighborhood in 1983. (A car was still visable from the air.) We also saw a few waterfalls. Our pilot Jeremy was very knowledgable and able to answer all of our questions. We had one person on board that got a bit nausiated and he gave her a stick to smell that took care of that problem while we were flying. He would turn the helicopter around and circle so everyone could see out of both sides. Really liked the microphones to communicate with the pilot and the music that played. Our shuttle driver from the airport told us that its cheaper to drive to the Hilo side to catch a flight than from the Kona side. We weren't able to do that because we had a flat on our car in route and chose not to be late for our appointment since the $220 per person was non refundable.

My husband and I opted for the 50 minute tour of the lava and waterfalls. We were not disappointed. The pilot made sure that he approached the sights both ways so that everyone in the helicopter got a good view. The pilot also presented some interesting information about the island, lave flow, agriculture, and people who live there. He was also willing to answer all questions.

After travelling through roads lined with black lava rocks, our flight from the Kona helicopter base was amazing to say the least, when we flew around the active volcano and experienced the glowing lava and lava flows it was incredible. Then to follow the coastline of magic blue waters and fly up an incredibly beautiful green valley of cascading waterfalls an amazing trip - coupled with a really knowledgeable pilot - thank you Justin. The only true way to see "The Big Island". Option to purchase a DVD of your trip.

We did the ECO Star helicopter, apparently better windows. Reserve online for a better price. Actually they did it over the phone for me at the online price. We did the one hour ride of the Kohala coast. Really the only way to see the dramatic canyons and waterfalls of the north coast. Gorgeous. Having the headsets with the music and being able to talk and ask questions is the only way to go! We lucked out with four of us in a six passenger helicopter, two up front with the pilot and two in back next to the windows. I asked about the amount of vibration in the helicopter as I have ridden in helicopters that were completely smooth. Pilot dissed my question.

My wife and I took the two hour tour from the Waikoloa area and were not disappointed. The pilot did a great job with taking his time around the major sights that we saw at both the volcano park and looking at the cliffs and waterfalls. He did not try to make the trip a thrill ride and was very knowledgable about everything that we saw. The price was high, but it was for an experience that is a once in a lifetime type experience.

My partner and I took the Ring of Fire tour in October 2012 to view the volcano and lava fields. My partner is a pilot so is obviously VERY particular about who we fly with. This was a truly fantastic experience. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is a very professional company. From the booking, to the checking in, to the safety briefing and especially to our pilot Ethan it was smooth flying all the way. Thanks to you all for making this so much fun. And a very big thank you to the volcano for performing on cue!!

Everything from sign up, pre-ride, and the ride itself went smoothly. Our Pilot Toshi was great. He was great in interacting with our party of 6 and he sensed that one was not the most comfortable flying, so he constantly was talking to her. The view was amazing, no way you could see that in anyother way. This was by far, the BEST thing I did on the Big Island. It was worth the money. We even bought the DVD of our flight. It wasn't the best quality, but better than not havin it at all.

while i was island hopping i really wanted to take a helicopter tour on the big island. when i landed in hilo i stopped and talked to the great folks at the blue Hawaiian desk at the hilo airport. i strongly think the price is well worth the experience.they do have different options but the flight was 250.00 for an hour flight around the volcano and coast line and waterfalls. they even offer a dvd of the exact flight u went on. they edit the film so u dont get sum crappy out of focus film. (this was an eatra 40.00 but u also get a great blu ray movie of all the islands. WELL WORTH IT) our pilot JAMES was awesome,extremely Hawaiian friendly. he made us all feel safe as it was a first for most of us on the helicopter. he answered all of our questions and took the time to point out many things along our route and took extra time to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. THANK YOU JAMES and BLUE HAWAIIAN HELICOPTERS. Next time im bringing my son with me.
