Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

No Lava not even a spark

Reviewed by: PBoy

the website still says we can have a pretty good chance to see lava. After all this is the most active volcano in the World!. But wow there is nothing there. The remains are acres of black rocks and at the end is a black hole with some red in it that's not lava just red rocks. The whole thing is crumbling away. There is no lava here now. We can go see some on the ground for free. it's everywhere up on the saddle road

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

人生初のヘリコプター！！！

Reviewed by: チロちゃん

ワイコロア発のヘリコプターに乗りました。
人生初のヘリコプターで、朝一番のツアーから戻ってくるヘリコプターを見ているだけで、大興奮!　緊急用の救命胴衣を着けてもらって、乗り込み、ヘッドセットとインカムを渡されて、うわっ、カッコいい!!　最初は緊張していて、離陸も少し怖かったけど、全然揺れないし、景色は良く見えるしで、楽しむことができました。キラウエア火山の活動が活発だったため、ハレマウマウ火口には近寄れませんでしたが、ハマクアコーストの入り江に入って、滝に接近したのはヘリコプターならではの体験でした。興奮していて、乗る前に乗り物酔いを飲み忘れてしまったので、下ばかり見ていて、途中少し酔ってしまいました。次回は酔い止め薬を飲んで、是非ハレマウマウ火口を見たいと思います。

ドアなしヘリコプターは、超スリル満点

Reviewed by: fabio

残念ながら？数日前に噴火が終わってしまい、赤いマグマを見る事が出来ませんでした。自然が相手なのでしょうがないです。
それでも、ドアなしヘリコプターから見る、黒い溶岩やハワイの大自然は感動モノでした。
英語パイロットなので何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが、全然楽しめます。

アドバイスとして、当日の気温は31度でしたが上空は18度でした。
防寒着は用意していったほうが無難だと思います。

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Amazing view of lava field!

Reviewed by: kritter_foster

Although the lava is no longer very visible (it's crusted over, so you really only see the black lava crust, the steam from the fissures, and a little bit of lava glowing in one of the fissures), it was amazing to fly over it and learn the history of the area and the previous eruptions. The view from above makes you really appreciate how much territory has been affected. We couldn't see it spilling into the ocean anymore, either, but it was still really cool!

We didn't fly very close to the waterfall, and we were under the impression that we might see more than one, but the one we did see was very impressive from above.

Just being up in a helicopter, flying over this beautiful island and the surrounding ocean was fantastic and we loved it!

WaterfallへのLandingが最高！

Reviewed by: Mahalo

大人2名と子供3名（小6、小3、年長）でコナ発、ワイピオ渓谷とキラウエア火山遊覧にWaterfall landing のオプション付きで参加しました。パイロットは日本人パイロットのToshiさん（望月さん）でした。申し込み段階で、一応「日本人パイロット希望」の旨は連絡していました。アメリカ人夫婦2名と我が家5名の計7名だったので、Toshiさんは英語と日本語を織り交ぜて丁寧に説明してくれました。子供達も英語は理解できることがわかったので、途中からは英語メインに切り替えて説明してくれました。Toshiさんは確か金土日曜日はお休みのはずです。
ツアー内容ですが、まず、ヘリコプターがとても安定しており、揺れない、うるさくないことにびっくり。念のため子供達は酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、必要なかったようです。逆に下2人は酔い止めで眠くなり、ほぼ寝ていました。。もちろん個人差はあると思いますが、船よりは全然酔いにくいと思います。キラウエア火山は8月現在活動が低下しており、溶岩流は見えませんでした。火口付近にマグマがボコボコしている様子は見えました。それよりも、渓谷付近の景色が最高でした。個人的にはこちらの景色の方がおススメです。あと、滝の近くに着陸するオプションを申し込んだのですが、これは絶対おススメです。ヘリコプターでしかアプローチできない滝を独り占めできます。
ツアーが終わると、オフィスにてツアー中のヘリ内外を撮影したビデオを$40で購入できます。USBスティックにビデオを保存して渡してくれます。こちらもツアー中にヘッドホンから流れてくる音楽と映像がマッチしており、購入して良かったです。
お値段は安くはないですが、それだけの価値はあると思います。是非、滝への着陸オプションで絶景を堪能ください。

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Must do IT!

Reviewed by: Lady from Taiwan

I did the 17:30 lava boat on 2018/08/06 with my husband. It was really an amazing trip. We took Dramamine 30 minutes before the ride, and both of us were free of sea sick. I wear a poncho but still got wet of my hair. Strongly suggest to bring towels and may consider wearing wool cap and glasses. Actually, the ride of lava boat was really scary to me（one-hour of “roller coaster“ before reaching the lava view~）The sunset in the sea was beautiful, so did the glowing lava in the dark. The lava was easier to be seen in the dark, so the sunrise or sunset boat was recommended.
The trip was made of lots of fun. If you are In good health（especially without herniated disc or heart disease), and with adventurous attitude, the lava boat trip is a "must-do" for you, at least once in a life time!

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Lava boat tour

Reviewed by: Steve Seed

Overall, the trip was outstanding. The views were great...a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would recommend this tour to anyone that doesn’t get sea sick.
The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is I grew up on the Pacific Ocean and have piloted 16’ boat through much choppier waters than we saw. The tour advertises you WILL get wet, and you WILL “feel” the ride, and our captain MADE sure each of us did just that. Unnecessary bottoming out of the boat, turning into waves to drench the passengers and speeding into wave swells made an awesome, incredible trip just good. Speaking to my wife, and several other families that we met on the boat afterward, they all had the same independent view that the captain and crew intentionally made the ride tougher and drenched the passengers to “live up” to their online advertising.
About two weeks prior to our trip, the “lava bomb” was all over the news(yes, it was the same company) and it was well documented that the captains needed to stay at least 900 feet away from lava flowing into the ocean per US coast guard regulations. You’d think that with the recent accident, the captain would’ve been much more safety conscious than what was described above, as well as getting within 150-200 feet on numerous occasions.

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Once in a life time experience

Reviewed by: YOPPI

I wasn't sure if the tour was worth the money, and also read one negative review about this, which made me hesitant to book the tour. But with the current situation with volcano, the ways available to see lava is either by air or from a boat. I decided to go with the more affordable one.
The ride was very rough. It was fun at first but by the time we got to the point where we can see lava my husband was sea sick and pretty much throwing up everything he had for breakfast and didn't have any energy to actually enjoy the view. I was feeling a bit sick too but not enough to throw up and was able to see how lava was flowing into ocean and how smoke/steam was rising. The view was absolutely spectacular and I don't think you can see anything like that unless you come here. Hence, I'd recommend the tour to everyone but with a medicine for sea sick just in case ;)

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Diana T

When I booked this trip to Hawaii, I was not anticipating Kilauea to erupt actively. In fact when it came on the news that this volcano was spewing lava, I was ready to cancel this trip. However, Kilauea is on the Southeast end of the island and Waikoloa, where we were staying, was far from the volcanic activity. So, we not only kept our trip to big island of Hawaii but also added a helicopter ride to witness an active volcano, which is not something Californians can see on a regular basis, more of a once in a lifetime.

Our pilot, Scott, was great. He took the time to explain what we were seeing, took into consideration of Sophia’s, my 9yo daughter, wanting to see and learn more about this magnificent phenomenon (in fact it was the whole reason for booking this helicopter tour), and took into consideration in providing a smooth, fun, helicopter ride without missing out on being able to see what we need to enjoy the experience of viewing the natural activities of an active volcano. This tour was so worth it. Highly recommended

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Good day trip option

Reviewed by: Deonna C.

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.

Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

One of the best experiences ever!!

Reviewed by: Jessica

I was super hesitant to book this tour and unsure if it was worth the money at first. I finally decided, when am I ever going to get a chance to see an active volcano again? I am soooo glad I booked it. The captain and crew on this boat were absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful to the seasick. The ride alone was a great time, the sunrise was amazing, and I was completely awe-struck at how close we rode to the lava and how long we stayed there to enjoy it.

I will highly recommend dramamine the night before and morning of as the ride out is a little rough. The crew is more than upfrint about this and super helpful if you do get sick. This review is coming from someone who gets extremely sea sick and threw up the entire ride back,
and I still would go again and think it was worth every penny. Beats a helicoptor tour by a million for the experience and cost!
