We took the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour over Kilauea out of Hilo last week, and it was simply amazing! Our pilot Colleen took us over some waterfalls and then over and around the Kiilauea crater. We saw some lava inside the cone, but none spewing out. There was lava flowing through an underground lava tube to the ocean, and Colleen took us to hover over the steam flue as the molten lava spilled into the ocean. A totally awesome event that should not be missed!
The pilot made sure everyone had a chance at the views.
Awesome Trip, skilled pilot who gave very good and detailed informations during the flight. thanks for this fantastic trip. mahalo
Absolutely fantasic
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for this great experience!
Quite amazing. The views were captivating and cool. The pilot was nice and answered all of our questions. I would have liked to look at lava more, though. It seems cool that you offer the video thing to look at your flight trip. Mahalo for everything!
My favorite part was when we took off, also when the pilot would tell us about what was bellow.
Brody was extremely knowledgeable and personable. It was nice to have a pilot that is from this island and relayed the history for us. It helps he has a nice, relaxing voice as well:) It was an amazing experience.
Kristy was our pilot and she did an excellent job! The commentary was not only entertaining but also informative. The views we saw were breathtaking and amazing. I would definitely do this again and recommend the experience to friends!
It was a fun flight.
Outstanding views and great pilot. Made the vacation fantastic!!
Greg O was great. This was an amazing tour.
Great tour on the Eco-Star. While a window seat is still the best (or up front with pilot), good viewing from all seats. You have no choice where to sit as your weight determines where you will be. Only 1 waterfall, but the volcano fly over/around was awesome. Highly recommended, but then you need to visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to complete your volcano visit! P.S Chad was a knowledgeable guide. Thanks!
Pilot, Adolph, was wonderful, astute and humorous. He was a very stable flyer. The Eco helicopters were very comfortable with lots of leg room. Flight was close, but no too close to the volcano and to the waterfalls. Adolph gave lots of turns for all to get good pictures. We would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to see the Big Island.
a great tour and Darren was awesome
