Hi All, on a recent visit to Big Island (Hawaii) we tried to see the volcanoes and waterfalls (The Big Island Spectacular 2 hour tour) from the Kona side of the island. Unfortunately the weather was against us and after 4 failed attempts we ran out of time. However the staff and pilots there completely went out of their way to help us achieve our experience, even getting us up in the air on the 4th go, though cloud coverage meant we couldn't get over to the other side of the island to see the lava flow. They really do give you the impression that there is nothing they wouldn't do to get you to see the spectacular natural phenomenon except risk your safety. They really do make you feel part of the islands family. Once again thanks to all the team there. We were finally successful on our 5th attempt, this time travelling back from Oahu to fly from Hilo for the 50 minute volcano tour. The team over at Hilo were just as professional. The pilots we had (Marco on the Kona side & Brent on the Hilo side) helped make the trips with their own choice of music and their unique styles of flying. We would definitely recommend it!

This is the best way to see the active volcano. Our pilot was wonderful and a good tour guide as well. The ship was very comfortable and smooth. The volcano, the lava into the sea and the waterfalls were all amazing. We saw it all in the 50 minute tour. Even though it's a long drive from Kona to Hilo, you will have time to tour Hilo while you are there and you don't waste time flying across the island. This is a not to be missed tour.

This tour provides a magnificent view of the island. Our pilot/guide Marco was very knowledgeable and friendly. The helicopters are very comfortable and every passenger had a great view. We saw Kiluia's lava lake up close, the beautiful waterfalls on the northern tip of the island, and learned a lot about the big island's history. It's pricey, but worth every penny.

Top rated company for safety and best equipment. Great viewing of volcano, lava, and flow into ocean plus so many waterfalls and over towns. Expensive but worth it.

Go. Do it. The island is worthy to be seen this way, and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are highly professional and safe. We've flown a lot of helicopters for work, so we've seen a lot of outfits and these guys are professional. Enjoy the experience with comfort and ease.

We booked Blue Hawaiian on our own so we probably paid full price. That being said, we got the trip we wanted, when we wanted and with a fresh enthusiastic pilot. We set in the front seats next to the pilot, in the new Eco class helicopter. The amount of glass and overall visibility was excellent; contributing to a fantastic view of the big Island. We have taken several helicopter tours but his was spectacular. We flew completely around the big Island over the volcano caldera, over lava spewing into the ocean. The pilot was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He pointed out and discussed all of the key attractions.. absolutely specatular

I'm not a great flyer but this was nothing like a flight. It was a slightly windy day but you really didn't feel it - much more like a joyride that just cruises through the sky. Christopher our pilot was funny and really tried to ease my nerves with his jokes. It was probably the best thing that we did in our 5 days on the island - amazing scenery and we thought it was well worth the cost. I'd recommend wearing dark clothes as white reflects. They will give you a shirt to cover your own (if light) but it does get warm in the chopper so layers aren't a great idea.

What a great way to see the Volcano's in Hiro. We had a young female pilot who was absolutely brilliant, she knew all about the area and gave us some amazing photo opportunities

This was my first time doing a helicopter tour and although it was pretty intense (wouldn't recommend eating a large meal beforehand!), it was definitely worthwhile. We did this tour at the end of our multi-day trip in Kauai, and I think it made the tour more meaningful since we had explored the island by car and had a general orientation as to where things were. Seeing them by air gave a different perspective - especially Waimea Canyon & the Na Pali coast which were just amazing! I chose Blue Hawaiian based on several excellent reviews and personal recommendations - they are definitely a first class operation. Make your reservation in advance to save money - we booked using the Shaka Gold card.

We had a wonderful time and the potential view from this first classed helicopter was excellent. I had two disappointments. The first was that the ride was supposed to be 55 minutes or more and was actually 45 minutes. The second was that I was in the backseat behind the pilot and could see very poorly of what was beautiful country. We did not switch seats during the helicopter ride and thus it was disappointing but excellent for those upfront.

We did our tour two years ago. It was amazing. Brody, our pilot was awesome, I didn't feel uneasy at all (and I don't like flying). He told us so many interesting things about he island and the history. I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay as it will help orientate you with the beautiful island of Kauai. We are planning a trip for February and have recommended that all of the other couples going with us do this tour! It was well worth the cost.

We booked the Big Island Spectacular with the waterfall landing in an EcoStar helicopter. Our pilot, Marco, made it a memorable and worthwhile adventure. We flew past the telescopes at the Keck Observatory, lava flows at Volcano National Park, the beautiful coastline and made an AMAZING landing at the base of a secluded waterfall that is only accessible by copter. The total trip, including a brief refueling stop in Hilo, was close to three hours. Suggestion: Book online 5 days ahead of time for a discount.

We did the Big Island Spectacular tour and got to see far more of the island's volcanos, lava, coast and waterfalls than we ever could even in several days on the ground. The local knowledge, enthusiasm and passion of our pilot, Chase, really made this tour great and added huge depth to our experience.

We had a fantastic ride around O'ahu. Amazing views and Christy our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got picked up and dropped at our hotel. Can highly recommend this trip.

This was an amazing Tour, in fact it was Awesome, for 50 minutes, you were treated to nearly the whole island, we flew everywhere< I saw a lot more than I thought I would, the price was right, and the whole pick up, flight and back to my hotel was excellent,
