What can I say but that spectacular really is the best word to describe this tour! The staff and pilot were awesome. The sights we saw were amazing. The landing at the waterfall is a must see. Definitely worth adding to your trip itinerary.

Discover both the Big Island's beauty and its volcanic fury. Experience all the awesome spectacle of Madame Pele's lava and volcanic badlands, then explore lush rainforests and the Hamakua Coast. Finally, the deep and immense tropical valleys of the Kohala Mountains, with dozens of cascading waterfalls, provide the perfect finish to the ultimate Big Island adventure. Fly in the touring helicopter specifically designed for air tours – the incredible Airbus EC 130. This state-of-the-art marvel gives you 23% more interior room, individual business class style seats, two-way communication with your pilot, and expansive glass for outstanding sweeping views. All Blue Hawaiian aircraft incorporate the latest in cutting-edge technologies, materials, systems, safety features, and avionics, and offer incomparable passenger comfort.

This is the sixth time that I have taken a ride with these incredible pilots. The ground crew and the office staff were all professional and friendly. Seeing the island by Air is absolutely the most amazing experience ever.

Booked the Big Island Volcano tour and the pilot refused to fly near Kilaua even though I asked him to. The tour was on our 25th anniversary and to see the Volcano was the only gift I wanted. He only took us over old fields! Disappointed!!

Great staff, James was an amazing pilot. He was very friendly, informative and interactive. However the actual experience, for the price, was slightly underwhelming. I would recommend this if you are trying to see the island and NOT driving to any destinations. We had driven a majority of the island and the sights, so when we did this it was kind of a repeat. You do get great views from above but you do not stop anywhere scenic like some of the other tours advertise. Also it is important to note that the video and photos do cost extra, something we found unfortunate for the price of admission. Overall, good experience, great staff but the experience itself a little underwhelming.
