It's hard to spend the money, but Hawaii is generally a once in a lifetime experience...just do it. Pilot was professional and knowledgeable about the area and interacted well with the passengers. We all felt very safe and saw areas not accessible by any other means.

I didn't expecn much of this tour as I'm grequent aircraft passenger, but this experience was completely different and completely amazing! First, the flight went so smooth, we didn't even feel how we took off! Yes, we were aware that heli is equipped with some engine stability system (or smth like that), but still we expected some shaking while taking off. And we even didn't feel it) Second, my bf doesn't like to fly at all, he afraids of take-offs a little (or more than little). But in this case he felt soooo good and calm, that he could enjoy whole the jorney till the very end) Third: in our case we didn't get to see the waterfall in the mountains due to windy weather. But God, we saw soooo many beautiful things, that no fall was absolutely ok! Beautiful beaches, curvy waves, white yachts in a deep turquoise waters, fluffy mountain tops, geometrically correct slopes, some signs of humans civilization that is so considerate and caring to stunning local nature. It was really exciting to see and recognize the places we hiked every day within 2 weeks from an altitude! We both loved it! Though the tour is a bit expensive for us, and if not my bf, I wouldn't attend it, but in the end we're so impressed! And we still are)

My wife and I had a great time seeing the attractions of the island from the air. The pilot, a woman who learned to fly in the army, was exceptionally well informed and polite. Most importantly, she did not try to pull all those stunts that sometimes pilots of choppers can't resist doing. We saw beaches and sand bars and resorts and the ships of the navy. It was a tremendous experience. And, of course, the weather was perfect.

This is expensive, but then flying helicopters is expensive. We took the Island Spectacular for 2 hours in the air. The flight over land to get to the edge of the island was necessary given where we started. It did not add anything to the trip. The flight up the coast was enjoyable and really the only way you could see this was by flying. The flight to see the volcano and the lava fields was excellent. It was on the trip back where Greg G - a most excellent pilot - flew us into one of the valleys along the coast that made for a spectacular trip. We saw waterfalls and land formations we would never have seen otherwise and I still have vivid memories of fly close to the falls. Expensive, like going to see a current great Broadway play, and this time it was well worth the cost of admission.

We had a very good 50 minute flight with Tim our pilot. He made sure that we got good views for pictures and provided good comentary as we flew around. A very professional and comfortable experience.

The high light of our return visit to the Big island was a circle of fire tour by Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The staff were polite, well informed, punctual and informative. safety is empathized before and during the trip. The helicopters are well maintained, clean and the windows spotless for viewing and picture taking. If your wearing light colored clothing they will give you a dark shirt to wear on the flight to eliminate reflections on the windows from ruining your view an photos. Our pilot Scott was very informative about the sights we were seeing and went the extra yard to make it a great trip. A must as this is the best way to see the lava entering the ocean.

While conducting research for the excursions we wanted to do while visiting the Big Island we knew we wanted to take a helicopter tour. Since it would take time for our body's to acclimate to the new time zone we decided to book the morning tour the day after we arrived. We stated in Waikola and the heliport was minutes away and arrived in time to see our first sunrise of the week. We booked the eco-star, one hour and forty five minute tour that included a complete circle of the island. We had a camera and video camera; however, after the experience we decided to spend the extra $40 for the video of the tour with music. Our pilot, Carl, was awesome and very informational. This was a great way to see this beautiful island and it's numerous microclimates from a bird's eye view!!

Beautiful island views throughout the flight. Our "tour guide" (pilot - Marty) was very informative and made sure everybody got to see all of the sites and answered all of our questions. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly from the reservation call all the way through the entire process and check-out after the flight.

My girlfriend and I went on the Blue Hawaiian tour a few days ago and it was absolutely amazing. It was my first time on a helicopter, and the take-off, ride, and landing were so smooth. Our pilot was very friendly and gave a great voice over for the whole island. The helicopters are very nice, roomy, and air conditioned. Try and get one of the front two seats if you can!!

We wanted something spectacular to finish up our Big Island trip and this was it. We had a birds eye view of the earth being made, waterfalls and island cliffs. Our pilot , Eli, seemed to really love the island and it came across as he told us about changes he has seen, places he has hiked etc etc. Little pricy but would do it again in a heartbeat!

Reasonable priced - pick up from hotel and return included. Spectacular views of Oahu Island and all the attractions – great to see them from the air – from surf beaches on north shore to the beautiful waterfalls. The pilot was professional and knowledgeable about the area and tour is a must!! If you do it at the start of your trip you get a really good idea of what you want to do on the island. Overall –awesome!! – will do the other islands with Blue Pacific in my next trip to Hawaii.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters offer a 'Circle of Fire plus Waterfalls' helicopter flight. The departure is from Hilo Airport and the reception desk is in the airport terminal at Hilo. There is a detailed safety briefing and then you are off. Flying over an active volcanic field is a great experience and the pilot flies in circles to make sure that all passengers get a good view of all the features. The helicopter has a lot of perspex so that passengers can get a good view and can take lots of photos. The intercom allows the pilot and passengers to converse and the pilot we had offered a lot of useful information as well as speaking really nicely to the passengers, especially children. The volcano was quite active in July but its activity varies from day to day. It is worth remembering that the lava does not flow into the sea all the time and the activity may be more or less. Nonetheless, I would recommend this flight to anyone. Having the opportunity to see land created is quite special. A CD is available for purchase for $40 after your flight but it seemed a bit steep for something you may or may not watch at some time. Taking lots of photos is a better option. The waterfall part of the flight is OK. We took this activity flying from Maui to Hilo and then flying back to Maui via Honolulu on the same day. You would also have time to hire a car and have a quick look at other volcanic features on Big Island/Hawaii Island.

LOVED our helicopter ride. We flew right over the volcano as it was erupting and toured the rest of the island seeing waterfalls and gorgeous scenery. Our pilot was incredibly knowledgable and charming. The only criticism I have is that we didn't take off until about 45 minutes after they told us to be there.

This was absolutely the best activity we planned while in Oahu! We were a bit hesitant because we had never been up in a helicopter before, but after doing a ton of research, we decided to book our flight with Blue Hawaiian. The company was extremely professional from start to finish. We loved the comfort of the Ecostar helicopter. It is one of the best out there. We flew with Pilot Kristi. She was calm, made us feel safe, she was informative, and she didn't have a specific script that she stuck to. One example is that she saw a whale out in the ocean as we were flying. She took us over for a closer look. It ended up being two families of whales dancing around in the water! She spent time flying around so that everyone in our helicopter could see them. It was incredible and very unexpected! Blue Hawaiian offered a video of our entire flight after returning to their offices. It was $40 and included all of the dialogue that took place during our flight. It is well worth purchasing! This flight was a huge expense for our family. We would all do it again in a heartbeat! We can't wait to fly with Blue Hawaiian again. Thanks for a life long memory!!!

Our family of 5 had a 45 minute helicopter tour over Oahu. It was fabulous for us, however my husband probably had the worst seat (middle right) and said he didn't get to see as much as the rest of us, which was a slight disappointment considering it was a very expensive activity for the 5 of us. Overall though we loved it. Definitely a once in a lifetime activity due to the cost. It truly is a beautiful island perfectly observed and appreciated in the sky.
