We had a 1 hours trip across the vulcano and waterfalls becasue I could not get my wife to take a longer trip (her first trip in a helicopter). We had a very serviceminded girl that made big efforts to show us the activity of the vulcano and history of the area. Felt very safe and can be recommended. We had the Eco flights that perhaps gave better view than the standard. Expensive , but worth it.

EXCELLENT! We went with 3 kids, 7 y.o. twins and 9 y.o. The kids loved it! The pilot, Jeremy, gave a very nice tour of the island and was able to show us lava flows from all the angles. Lava flowing in the ocean was magnificent! We highly recommend this company to everyone who is looking to seeing lava flow.

Super amazing. Our kids (5 & 6 yo) were wide-eyed and inspired the whole time - the adults too! There is nothing quite like seeing the Earth form right before your very eyes. Very special. Our pilot, Scott, was great - engaging, knowledgeable of the area's geology and history, and very entertaining (a downright hilarious guy). Thank you for a great experience!

My family and I went on the big island spectacular in May of 2013. We were looking forward to this tour. My wife and I tried to do the volcano tour during our honeymoon in 1997, but it was rained out and we did not have the time to rebook. We scheduled the tour early in our time on the Big Island luckily, since it was rained out again. Blue Hawaiian rescheduled us and even upgraded us to the bigger helicopter, which was a real bonus. Our pilot James was very knowledgeable an fun. The sights were incredible and many were only accessible from the air. We had a great time, it was worth the wait. Seeing the volcano from the air give a real perspective of the size and power of it. Seeing the remnants of villages destroyed by the lava flow was incredible...you can really see the power of mother nature.

Hands down the best way to experience the variety of landscapes on the Big Island. it may be expensive but it's worth every penny and trust me, you will regret not doing it once you are home! We had the 2 hour tour with our pilot Shane and it was amazing! There's nothing like seeing an active volcano and lava pouring into the ocean followed by insane waterfalls in secluded valleys! Also, a big thank you to our pilot Shane who went out of his way to make sure we made it back to the Heliport in time for another engagement we had that day. Our tour left a few minutes later than scheduled and we were able to save some time by doing a quick refuelling in Hilo and we did not miss any of the amazing sights! Top Notch! Mahalo!

Our pilot Jason gave us a fantastic tour! Very funny and informative. Beautiful sites! Our tour was cancelled from the original schedule due to weather, but the company did a great job of getting us back in the next morning. We did the 7 am tour and then made our 11 am flight!

Brilliant! A must do experience! The team were very experienced, knowledgable, informative, and friendly. The big island spectacular took us over an active volcano, past previous volcanic eruptions, to the sea (where the lava was pouring into the sea), past Hilo, and through valleys showcasing some of the tallest waterfalls in the world! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is visiting hawaii - as they have tours on other islands too :)

We went for the gusto on this helicopter ride, opting for the longer Big Island Spectacular, in the more expensive helicopter (EcoStar), and it proved to be a great choice. Unfortunately the stars didn't line up correctly, so my wife and I were in two of the back seats rather than the primo front seats next to the pilot, but that is what the weight-balancing computer edicted. The good new is that the EcoStar has REALLY big windows, so even sitting in one of the middle seats (my wife was by the window) I was able to see a lot and get some good pictures. Our pilot, Tom, did a great job of making sure both sides of helicopter got a chance to see all the great sites, and responding to specific request for views, photos, etc. He also was very knowledgeable about the Big Island, and his low-key not overly chatty style was perfect for the tour. We toured the volcano part of the island first, which was what I thought was going to be the highlight, and it was very interesting, especially the site of molten lava oozing up and the steam rising from where the lava enters the sea. The surprise for me was that the tour of the rainforest waterfalls and narrow valleys in the northern part of the island was actually even more a highlight than the volcano. The valleys were really beautiful, and the waterfalls were amazing. It also becomes pretty obvious that about the only way to experience this part of the island is via helicopter. The views were incredible, and I can't imagine how else they could be achieved other than from the window of the helo. We were also fortunate that all 6 passengers were OK with bypassing the "break" in Hilo, opting for additional flight time, which gave us a chance for more rainforest sights. Bottom line: If taking a helo trip in the Big Island is part of your plan, I would definitely opt for the Big Island Spectacular with the EcoStar. Blue Hawaiian earned their high ratings.

Although pricey, this tour was amazing! We got up close and personal with lava, saw fabulous views of the coast and towering waterfalls. Our pilot made certain that everyone in our Eco-star had a chance to see everything. Great experience.

From check-in to pre-flight instruction to take-off/landing and all points in between, just an absolutely fantastic, once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot - Jason - was first class. His knowledge of the Big Island was only overshadowed by his flying skills. The scenery left me speechless. Highly recommend.

My wife and I found the whole experience first class. Age is nor barrier for taking this trip. Our pilot, Scott, was superb, a fountain of knowledge and entertaining too. We were lucky to see a crater of boiling lava and have some great photo's to relive the experience. We can highly recommend the video of the individual flight, which is a complete record of the experience. This was the highlight of a superb holiday, cruising to and from San Diego.

I was able to experience Blue Hawaii with my sister and niece in January, and it was amazing! Our AM flight was canceled after about 2 minutes in the air, due to low visability, so we returned to the desk, they were willing to refund or reschedule. We rescheduled for the afternoon and got to see a brand new lava break-out that was only 2 hours old! The pilot zig-zagged over the flow multiple times so all 5 of us got perfect views. He was talkative,informative and made everyone feel welcome. I would recommend Blue Hawaiian to everyone. Excellent experience.

Took the Cricle of Fire tour and this company is definitey well run and I had no fear. Our pilot Scott was absolutely wonderful and was very entertaining. He was a wealth of knowledge and we had a great time. We bought the video and it was fantastic and definitely worth the money. I would take Blue Hawaiian again and be very confident in having a great safe experience. Their new helicopter had a great view from every seat. It was great to see the volcano flow up close and also a waterfall. Mahalo to Scott andt he great ground crew at Hilo.

We took the Circle of Fire tour in the newer Eco-Star helicopter. I sat in the middle and the view was brilliant. Scott our pilot was extremely welcoming, informative, personably, professional and engaging. Within a minute he knew the names of all 7 people on board and continued to engage us in the experience. Even though it was my first experience in a helicopter and am prone to air sickness, I did not fell ill once and didn't even think of any concerns. We had ample time to fly around each of the main sites which included the lava discharging into the ocean, the spatter cones, lava fields and some waterfalls near Hilo. Scott also approached each feature from both sides so everyone had a chance to take some photos. We also got really close to the spatter cones so we could get some amazing photos of the lava. Overall, from the ground crew (Darian and Tiffany were great), to Scott our pilot, not to mention some of the most unique sights we will ever see, this was a brilliant experience which was definitely the highlight of our Hawaiian visit.

The ring of fire tour was booked for us as a gift during our trip, and it was great. Our pilot, Jeremy was outstanding. He didn't have to think about the answer for any question we asked. We would do it again (maybe even the longer tour), and we bought the video that they have for sale afterwards. Not sure if I would have gotten it if I had paid for the trip myself but it is a nice souvenir to have. They are a top notch place, and never once was safety a concern. My wife doesn't like to fly and she enjoyed the whole flight too. We got some decent pictures on the flight that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Great time. Recomended.
