キラウエア火山　ドアなしヘリコプター遊覧＜英語パイロット／フライト60分／ヒロ空港集合＞ by パラダイスヘリコプター

扉無しヘリ遊覧

とにかくエキサイティングなツアーでした。
ヘリに乗ったのも初めて。しかも扉無しなんて(^^) 全て英語のツアーでしたが、大切なセキュリティのところだけは聞き逃さずに、ドキドキしながらもパイロットのすぐ隣に乗せてもらいました。
全てが必要必然ベストで、溶岩が流れる様も、また地中を勢いよく流れていく様も、また雨上がりに虹を上から眺めることもでき、最高のフライトでした。
また機会があれば乗りたいです。

虹☆
流れる溶岩の上は熱さを感じます

ダウンヒル（自転車）ツアー　世界遺産キラウエア火山の山頂から駆け降りる爽快サイクリング！＜半日・1日／食事付／ヒロ地区送迎付＞

ギリギリまで諦めず参加でき、気分爽快！

Reviewed by: ロミロミ

平均年齢６０歳代の女性４人で参加しました。今回のハワイ島は特に「ダウンヒル（自転車）ツアー」が楽しみで、可なり早くに申し込みしました。ところが、催行人数に足らず「他のアクティビティに変更を！」とのメールが度々、でも諦めず待ちました。嬉しい事に日本を発つ前日に「催行決定」との連絡が入り、初参加できました。早朝6時ワイコロアを出発、集合場所に多少迷いながらも時間内に無事到着、何と参加者は私達４人以外は全員アメリカ人で総勢１５～１６のツアーになっていました。ガイドの説明は英語との事で不安がありましたが、幸いにもガイドのタローさんが日本語でもポイントをとても分かり易く説明してくださり、私達はラッキーでした。キラウエア火山の山頂から見た景色は絶景！、美味しい空気を吸って走る気分は爽快！で、あっと言う間の楽しい「半日コース」でした。申し込みをギリギリまで諦めず、参加でき最高に良かったです。体力的にも心配なさそうなので次回は是非「一日コース」に参加したいです。、

Hilo Boat Adventure - Waterfalls Sightseeing & Dolphin Watch Cruise

Should advertise a disclaimer

Reviewed by: Tammy Sharp

Although the pictures and video that we took were amazingly beautiful and it is probably the best way to see the waterfalls on the island. There should be a disclaimer along with the advertisement of the tour for people with bad backs or next and probably awful younger children and senior citizens. The ride itself as horrible as far as comfortability . The water being so rough around the coast line added with no seat belts or cushioning on the aluminum boat itself made for a horrible ride. There was one point when I was actually in tears because of the pain and shock to my back from the intensity of being thrown back into the seat.

Reply from activity provider

Thanks for your feedback and a 4 star review but were a bit confused about your review? First off what store advertisement are you referring to we have you booking online? The cushions are 4 inches thick as well 2 inches on the backrests so not sure why you mention no pads were available? Seat belts on a boat, that would be quite dangerous? Did you ever notify the crew of your discomfort during trip and where were you seated? We advise that smoother rides are near the rear of the vessel during the safety briefing.

Doors Off Helicopter tour

Reviewed by: Diane Viands

I ended up with some great pictures. Wasn't sure if I was getting any because it was so windy. Not complaining as I knew that it was going to be windy. I did think that we were going to fly near the volcanoes, but perhaps I read the description wrong. It was a great tour and I am glad I did the doors off tour. Collin was great! Thanks so much for the great tour!

Exciting and Smooth

Reviewed by: Going back to Hawaii

Very professional pilot. Incredibly smooth ride without stunts or surprises. However, the doors off was wonderful with nothing between us and the lava. We were high enough to not be at risk but the views of the lava flows, vents, as well as the area waterfalls and scenery were superb. Securely strapped in. Noise dampening headphones with mics allows two way communication, and the pilot was a knowledgeable and helpful tour guide. Worth the time and money.

Best Zipline and Crew

Reviewed by: Cameron

First time zip-lining with my 10 year old daughter. Cant imagine a better zip line tour not only in Hawaii but in the US. You finish strong with an incredible 3,000+ foot zip line ride that goes over a waterfall and canyon. The crew is great too. Very professional, courteous. My 10 year old daughter thought this was awesome and so did I.

Helicopter Ride

Reviewed by: Cameron

Very professional staff and felt very safe. I would just say that this experience had a lot for me to compare to for me and my daughter on this trip to Hawaii. We did ziplining, Parasailing, horse back riding and went from high-octane outdoor activities to passenger sightseeing. However, if I were to rank this tour as a stand-alone activity I would give it very high marks. To see the volcanic areas from the air is really interesting since you are seeing a "live" mass in motion (can't see it move but it is moving). Trees are burning from the lava, smoke and craters really lets you know who is in charge, nature.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed by: Teresa

Riding in a helicopter and seeing a live volcano checked off two of the entries on my life list. Scott, our pilot, was as excited as we were to see the molten lava gushing out in neon orange waves. It was definitely one of those,"Oh wow!" moments.

None of the retired ladies in our group had ever ridden in a helicopter before, and Scott had just the right combination of confidence and professionalism that reassured everyone. I would definitely fly with him again!

This tour was the highlight of our trip, and I would recommend it to everyone. It was worth every penny!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

What the --, I can't ... OMG! I cried.

Reviewed by: Silas

Thank you to Jork our pilot for an amazing flight. After breakfast, me and my friends hit up the Volcanoes Winery for some wine tasting and then whipped through the Volcanoes National Park to get an idea of what we'd see from the sky before heading to the airport for our helicopter flight. The check-in was easy (I gained a few pounds from all the Hawaiian food I ate, but it was okay) and the ground crew was super friendly. Make sure you get a phone strap if you want to take pics with doors off, or you can't take your phone with you. I really didn't expect a lot but as soon as we were hovering over small lava ponds I cried a little bit. It was so epic - it looked like we were on another planet. The black lava landscape stretched to the horizon. It was cold up there but whenever we got over the bright orange lava spots you could actually feel the waves of warmth, so soothing! We finished with a fly over bubbling pots waterfalls and some of the towns. All the buildings and cars were so tiny and perfect like a miniature model city. Thanks again to Paradise Helicopters and HawaiiActivities.com. Definitely an unforgettable moment on the Big Island. Ah man!

Reviewed by: KJGS

Go for the Eco star! The viewing windows and space provide an excellent ride. Brandt was a great pilot who gave us an informative tour with funny antidotes. It's the closest feeling you can get to literally flying since it such a smooth ride, felt like we floated over billowing volcanoes and gushing waterfalls. Footage from video at the end had great clips inside and outside the helicopter but was too pixeled and fuzzy to want to purchase, hopefully as technology improves so will DVD. Pics and videos we took ourselves turned out good, even with an IPhone 6 and point and low end point and shoot camera. Take the ride, it's worth it!

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Not So Hot!

Reviewed by: GeeBee

Now being honest the weather was not good at Hilo, very wet and cloudy. But in spite of the weather the flight did go ahead. I do have to say doors off is definitely the way to go! We flew over several areas of coastline and lava flows and then headed up to the Puʻu ʻŌʻō, again the weather wasn't great but you could see the ground pretty well. Heading up the mountain we saw a small area of fresh lava but it was over in a flash and then we were heading back to Hilo.

Now I fully understand that when weather and visibility are not good you might not see everything but at no point did the pilot state what we would or would not see. Obviously the vent or flowing lava is the main part of the "show" and you keep waiting for that to appear. But it wasn't until a guest asked that we were told that we went as far as we could.

Feel the heat? No we certainly did not.

A word of warning for passengers with longer hair wear a beany or make sure your hair is tied back tight, due to the wind it ended up with my wife's hair being badly knotted around the headset.

Two stars - to be honest only for the fun aspect of the doors off.

It would have been so much better if we were kept informed of the visibility and weather (now on Hawai'i this might not be a normal issue) and what we would be able to see as opposed to not being told anything and not experiencing what the flight was all about and coming away with the slightly cheated feeling.

Would I go again - yes - but I would certainly be asking a lot of questions about the weather conditions, visibility and expected viewing. It is a lot of money to pay, and especially if you are not local to not "Feel the Heat" because why else would you fly "doors off"

In additional I have to say the staff at Paradise were very understanding when we raised our points.

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Awesome, Breathtaking, Not Enough Great Words to Describe

Reviewed by: DWAungst

The flight was amazing, but we did not fly from Hilo. When our scheduled time (from Hilo) arrived, the weather was below minimum at the volcano. This was very disappointing since Hilo weather was nice. But, Hawaii weather is very volatile.

We rescheduled for the next day as a "reserve flight" (needed more people to "confirm" the flight). Before the scheduled time, Paradise Helicopters called to say the flight was still only "reserved", but they had an opening in a different, circle the whole island, flight from Kona. They would upgrade me for no additional cost to take that one. We jumped at it.

The flight was amazing. We got to see the whole island, in addition to the volcano and real, live, flowing lava. Our pilot was Koji and he was awesome. The weather over the volcano was mixed, but he was able to navigate through the clouds enough to maintain the FAA rules for height and get us over the actual volcano caldera. Then, we headed for the current eruption points on the southern slopes and saw even more lava in the second vent. Moving further to the new lava fields, he located some live, flow lava. "WOW!!!" is all I can say.

The rest of the flight was great, too. Flying low up the valley on the north shore was wild. Seeing all the waterfalls was also terrific.

Green Sand Beach
Main Volcano Laval Pool on the Caldera
Lava pool in the second vent on the southern slopes of the volcano.
