Bike to Pele - Hawaii Volcano Biking Tour at Puna Lava Fields [Open Soon]

Very fun AND educational

Eric and Willy were super fun and very knowledgable. It was fun going off roading along with the street path. I loved how they pointed out very unique things along the course that other tour guides were skipping over. The winery wasn't that great but was a nice way to wrap up the day. The sandwhiches were sooo good!

Bike to Pele - Hawaii Volcano Biking Tour at Puna Lava Fields [Open Soon]

Bike Tour

Reviewed by: jan

This bike tour was one of the most fun experiences of our trip to the Big Island! Our tour guides, Emily and Willy, were stellar! Very safe, informative, and very personable. Because of the bike tour, you were able to see a lot of sights that would not be available by just hiking through the facility. The bike ride was mostly level and downhill so most participants could totally do this tour! The lunch package was great as well as the last stop to the beach! Many thanks to our guides which made this trip so unique! A most memorable trip, do not miss this!!

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

Doors off Helicopter ride

Reviewed by: Peter in Sydney

Well worth doing the helicopter ride and the Doors Off Experience is the way to do it. The ride itself is worth it but to then fly over the lava flowing into the ocean and seeing collapsed lava tubes is something else.

Reviewed by: Donald

This was by far the best activity I have experienced in both my visits to Hawaii. The tour guide (Eric) was exceptionally knowledgeable and he was also very patient with the group. His assistant (Willie) could not do enough for us. The activity was fun, enjoyable and conducted in a very safe manner. Both guides did everything possible to ensure we all had an equally good time. We learned a lot, burned some un-needed calories and had a fun time too! I would give this activity my highest recommendation. You won't be sorry you did it.

Bike to Pele - Hawaii Volcano Biking Tour at Puna Lava Fields [Open Soon]

Great Fun

Reviewed by: Ed Gallagher

Our guides, Willy and Eric, were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Eric took the time to point out a million different peculiarities of the Hawaiian landscape and Willy was very funny and entertaining. The two of them are a great team.

The sights on the volacano were amazing and my wife and I took tons of pictures. We never felt rushed and enjoyed it thoroughly.

The food was very well prepared and quite delicious. My wife and I ate the turkey club sandwich and were impressed when we received a gourmet sandwich, not some week old mystery meat thing.

I would highly recommend this event not only because of the beautiful sights, but also because of the best service one could ask for.

Hilo Bay Private Afternoon Sailing Cruise (from Hilo Bay)

Aloha!

Reviewed by: Debbie Ann

On our recent visit to Hilo, my husband and I were thrilled with your hands-on training excursion. We were so happy that the training was part of the package. 20 minutes out, we were sailing like pros. It felt great! No motor noise or obnoxious diesel. I can't tell you how therapeutic it felt, with the beautiful sunset, the incomparable views, a steady but light wind, and even a little of the famous Hilo rain--just enough to be refreshing. We can't wait to do it again, next time we come back. It was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We are so glad you provide this great option for folks like us who are visiting and for the local folks who live near Hilo.

We are thinking about the possibility of a one-month sailing vacation within the Hawaiian Islands, with you as our Captain, of course. The Prelude is a fantastic boat, and very well appointed.

Thanks for the great sail inside Hilo Bay. We were worried about getting seasick, but you convinced us that it would be calm within the bay. It was like riding in a car with no motor! Most of the time we were well-balanced and the ride never caused us any problem at all.

Thanks again, so much. We'll be back to do it again, and we'll tell all our friends about you.

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

Thanks again

Reviewed by: Aimee and John

John and I wanted to send this email thanking everyone at Paradise for a once in a lifetime experience on our vacation. We took one of your newer trips which flew out of Kona, over the valleys, drop off in Hilo for the day (with paid rental car), then over the Volcanoes, and back to Kona. We really enjoyed the entire day. In fact we hadn't originally thought we would get to visit the Hilo area since the drive from Kona is a couple of hours. So not only did we get to see beautiful valleys, waterfalls, and running lava from air but we got to explore the Rain forest national Zoo, The Volcano national Park, Rainbow Falls, and Akaka Falls all by land as well. Also our pilot Steve was so informative and friendly he really helped make our day just that much more special. I'm sure he flies the same routes every day, yet you couldn't tell. His passion for the land, and surroundings was contagious. Thanks again, we included some of our amazing trip photos.

This is a great activity except if you're prone to motion-sickness then it is not for you. Two hours was way too long for us. I was doing well in the first hour when we were shown the volcanoes and mountains but in the second hour I could not keep my eyes open due to my motion sickness. And that sucked because in the second hour is when he shows you the beautiful valleys and waterfalls! Thank God my husband was able to record it for me but it still wasn't the same. I would recommend a 45-minute-1 hour tour but not the 2 hour tour.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo

Volcano Visit Disappointing

Reviewed by: Mary Liz

I flew from Honolulu to Hilo early for trip which was scheduled for 8:30 AM. We were delayed starting by about one hour for other guests who took a later flight. My main reason for this tour was to see the volcano. Because of air quality, the observation area was closed. Because of cloud cover, we could not see the top of the volcano. We were able to visit the National Park Visitors Center which was worthwhile.

The tour guide was just fair. We visited several commercial sites.
He tried to make up for the closing of the observation area by stopping at other volcanoes in the park & a lava tube.

Wonderful way to see the Volcano!

I really enjoyed this trip and it was well worth it. We toured the park on bike and enjoyed the beautiful day. The ride was not too difficult for those who aren't in the best of shape like myself. The staff is prepared for rain and also provide snacks and water to keep you refreshed. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that we did not go to *closely* see where the lava hits the ocean; however, it would have been another 16 miles round-trip, so I can understand :). Guide did recommend where we could go park and see it later that evening. All in all it was a great trip with awesome guides!

Lava Hunting!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We did the "Fire & Falls" tour and loved it (although we both got a bit airsick, but that's not the company's fault, that's just because we're prone to it - the other couple with us was fine). I had picked Paradise because it was the cheapest air tour of the volcano (in terms of cost per minute), but I can't imagine why I would pay more for another company because this ride was everything we wanted.

We did the "doors off" tour and it was a 4-person helicopter (not incl. the pilot), so everyone had a fantastic view. I would highly recommend the doors-off experience. My husband is a bit afraid of heights, and even he agreed that doors-off was worth it (but a bit frightening for him). Our pilot was Jesse and he was a lot of fun.

What I loved is that if a passenger spotted lava, our pilot would circle back (as if we were "lava hunting") and make sure that everyone got a view.

The waterfalls portion was brief, and at the end. The main attraction of this tour is the volcano/lava.

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Our group of 4 booked a "doors off" helicopter ride through Paradise Helicopters. None of our group had ever been in a helicopter before and this exceeded all of our expectations. The front desk staff was courteous and upbeat. The guy doing the safety briefing was thorough and knowledgeable while infusing some humor into the "speech". Our pilot was Joyce and we could not have asked for a better experience. Because there were 4 of us, we took every seat on the helicopter. We were concerned at first about the view from the front-middle seat, but she could still see everything, though you do miss the experience of sitting right by the window.

Joyce did a great job of going over the different areas multiple times so each side of the helicopter could see what was below. Joyce spoke clearly and slowly and we never had a problem hearing what she was saying and she would repeat the "attractions" for both sides of the helicopter.
