Our first ever helicopter ride was exhilarating... what a thrill. Pilot Mike was excellent and no one suffered any motion sickness. It's worth experiencing the awesome views from above of the waterfalls and lava flows. The views and the ride was a memorable experience. Book the tour online at least five days in advance to get the online discount. Also request that the pilot spend a little more time over the falls and less time looking for lava steam vents. There was no lava flowing during our visit, so it was a lot like looking down on a massive chocolate brownie. The ride in the helicopter was in itself a cool experience, the birds eye view of the waterfalls and lava flows was icing on the cake. Best seat is front next to the pilot. Although seating is based on their computer analysis of weight and height, so it's likely that you may get seated away from your spouse or significant other. Wear dark clothes to minimize reflective glare off the windows. Talked to other visitors who recommended helicopter tours of Kauai or Maui as better values and views of more impressive waterfalls.

SPECTACULAR!!! James is a great pilot & guide! Thank you! Very organized & well run. Wear black or a non-patterned dark color if you plan to take your own photos or video, it cuts down on glare, but it's easier to sit back, enjoy the ride & buy the DVD of your helicopter ride at the end.

We rented a car and drove from Kona to Hilo to take this flight (although there is an option to be picked up in Kona) - the airport was easy to find and the staff friendly when we checked in for our flight. There was a short safety video then the staff ensured everyone was strapped into their seats properly before take off. The pilot talked to us pointing out everything he could see all through the flight and answered all the questions. We were lucky to see both lava at the crater and poring into the sea. Unfortunately the weather was poor so the waterfall looked quite dull but a visit to Akaka falls in the car meant we got to see a splendid fall from the ground. My only tip - I fly in choppers for work so knew I wouldn't get travel sick but this is the first time I've been in a chopper with people who don't regularly fly and another passenger behind me was sick which I could smell and kept catching sight of the bag- didn't ruin the trip for me at all but dud leave me feeling a little queezy every time I saw the bag :-(

Amazing flight. Flew over Mount Kiluaea and saw lava. Highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Justin was a great pilot. Everyone at Blue Hawaiian was exceptionally kind and we are so very happy we did this! Thank you!

Well worth the trip. We had to drive from Waikoila to Hilo early in the morning to make it for the volcano trip. Flew over the Pu'u O'o vent and saw lava. The extent of the lava flow was amazing to see. Flew past some (smallish) waterfalls on the way back. Was a little disappointed not to fly over the Kilauea Crater itself though.

The staff were very courteous, people friendly and knowledgeable. Tour was amazing, Pilot very helpful in answering many questions. Volcanoes were beautiful as were the waterfalls. No dislikes.

Took helicopter for Hilo over Kilauea and waterfalls. Spectacular sights and very helpful pilot. If you get Colleen consider yourself lucky, she was a great pilot and tour guide. Breathtaking view!

I felt very safe flying with Blue Hawaiian. We got plenty of safety information before the flight. We lucked out with good weather to see the valleys on the north part of the island. It is difficult to take pictures out of the windows because you get a glare. It's better to buy the DVD and not worry about taking pictures and enjoy the sights.

We were originally scheduled on the 7:30 flight on Monday, but due to bad weather, that trip was cancelled. Customer service rep, Kimberly, was very accommodating in rescheduling to 9:30 today, and the weather cooperated. It was a great flight! We saw sloshing lava when Shane, our pilot, took us back for a second look, then a double circle rainbow up on the Hamakua Coast, and lots of whales further west. The helicopter was clean and comfortable, Shane was nice and very knowledgeable, and we had a great time. Expensive, but couldn't have seen it any other way!

Even with the price, this is something not to miss. The 2 hour ride over the island down to Volcanoes National Park is something that visitors should be sure to do. Our pilot was very informative about the island and knew a lot about the terraine. We did the 7 am tour and even though it is early, to watch sunrise over Mauna Kea then to see the flowing red hot lava down the mountain is something to see. We couldn't see the laval pouring into the sea due to wind but to see the steam in multiple places was truely spectacular. The view over Hilo for our gas stop was pretty clear. It was a wet day so we had to fly off the coast up the Hamakua Cost but was still spectacular to see the waterfalls on the side of othe mountain dumping into the ocean. This is something you should definitely put on your bucket list.

We were lucky enough to tour the Kohala coast, valleys, and waterfalls on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon. Sheer cliffs, deep valleys, spectacular coastline, and numerous waterfalls (longest drops I've seen!). Our pilot Noah was extremely knowledgeable about everything, and his friendly professionalism was a value-add to this already-exciting trip! I would recommend this tour to anyone!!

Great experience! We took the tour to the Kohala coast, valleys, and waterfalls. This tour is the best way to explore the differences in island's terrain in one hour. Even if it was a windy day, our pilot Scott tried hard not to shake us a lot!!! He was very informative about the island, the volcanoes and the waterfalls and he did his best for us to feel comfortable. We were very impressed with the professionalism of all the staff of Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Tour is highly recommended during your trip to Hawaii !!!

The helicopter ride was spectacular and allowed us the ability to see the island first hand before we adventured the island in our Jeep. Justin our Pilot was very informative and gave us a thoroughly enjoyable trip.

Don't go cheap here. This is the island to do the helicopters. The view of the mountains was fantastic. Waterfalls to die for. Lava lava lava. Flowing into the ocean. Erupting at the volcano. Unbelieveable. Pilot was very nice. Remember to wear dark clothes if you want your pictures to come out. Anything light in color will reflect and screw up your pics. Hopefully you get the front two seats. Go on their better helicopter, its worth it.

We took the 45 minute Circle of Fire Plus Waterfalls flight and we unreservedly recommend it. We were two of 5 passengers in an eight seater helicopter with great visibility on all sides. The preparation and boarding was very professional and the pilot (Roger in our case) very concerned that we all got to see the highlights especially the lava spewing from the vent and flowing into the sea. Apparently we were rather lucky to sight the lava flowing into the sea since it hasn't been doing so for much of the year. A spectacular experience and worth the close to $200 per head.
