Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Felt like a kid again

Reviewed by: Sarah

This helicopter tour was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Checking in was a breeze. The pilot (Karl I think) was great, really friendly and knowledgable and told us fascinating stories about the land. His mixed tape for the flight was a great accompaniment to the flight. Nothing can quite prepare you for how amazing it is to fly over a volcanoe crater spewing lava, I was truly awe struck and felt like a kid again! It really is the top experience I would recommend on the big island.

Deluxe Big Island Day Tour, Volcanoes National Park & Dinner at Kilauea Lodge

Kailani tours deluxe Volcano and Stars

Reviewed by: Michelle Jarrett

Deluxe is the word! As if the natural awesomeness of a live volcano,a national park and stars was not enough this trip also includes a tasty picnic lunch and a 5 star dining experience for dinner. Add to this an extremely knowledgeable guide who serenades you with ukulele, tells amazing Hawaiian myths, provides astronomical binoculars to improve photographs taken on your phones and cameras of a live volcano at night and leads a sing-along on the way home.
This was a long day but easily the best tour our family has ever taken. Booking via Veltra tours was easy, even from overseas.

  • The volcano is a living thing. Wow!!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Great way to experience the Volcanoes National Park!

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

Let me start saying one thing - Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and it's definitely a MUST SEE & DO if you are visiting Hawaii. I think everyone should explore the Volcanoes National Park as much as they can, and since I've hiked hiked the most popular sights before, this time I decided to get the bird's eye view from Kilauea.

From start to finish Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was very professional and delivered a great service. After the check-in we watched a video about safety and what to expect on the tour. Due to the weather conditions my original flight was cancelled, however I was able to reschedule to a later time. It was worthy the wait! The aircraft was modern, very comfortable, large windows and the pilot was excelled and very experienced. He not only made us feel safe, but also shared a lot of interest facts about Hawaiian geology and history.

We flew over dozens of waterfalls and over the most recent lava flows and it was crazy to see how close the lava got to some houses couple of years ago. The most incredible part thou was for sure seeing the lava flowing into the ocean and watching the bubbling lava lake inside the Pu'u 'O'o Crater (which you can only see if you are doing an air tour).

I will never stop sharing these incredible memories with everyone around me.
Thank you VELTRA & Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for the amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour, whether you are visiting the island just for a day or more, make sure to include a helicopter flight on your wish list.

  • Kilauea, the smiling volcano!

  • Lava flowing to the ocean

  • Where lave meets the see

  • Great helicopters!

Awefull Trip

Reviewed by: Dona

The trip took too long time for nothing, visiting some stores which mean wasting time & money! also you can't see that much Lava in the morning!!! only the smoke! The guide was too knowledge but talking a lot which cause me headache! Since the tour started till finished he was talking no relaxing! after we finish the park he took us to the mall for 45 min!! It's totally wasting time, I prefer to go by car alone and see a lot of sight rather than this tour!!

Deluxe Big Island Day Tour, Volcanoes National Park & Dinner at Kilauea Lodge

Best Tour Guide EVER!

Reviewed by: AZSKY

This is an absolutely terrific tour and worth every penny. Our family has visited the Big Island many times but we learned so much from our energetic and knowledgable tour guide, Kevin. Absolutely adored the gorgeous candy facility stop on the way to the volcano. This store is beautiful and we ended up purchasing client gifts which were efficiently ordered and shipped back to the mainland. The dinner stop at the Kilauea Lodge was amazing. I ordered a Cosmopolitan cocktail which was presented just as chic and lovely as any found in a Five Star hotel bar. Good meal enjoyed in a cozy spot among new friends. Back to the night lava viewing at the volcano which was utterly amazing. The warm coats and flashlights provided by Veltra made the experience even more enjoyable.
Last but not least I must give kudlos to Kevin, our tour guide. This man has truly done his homework and is passionate about educating his guests about the gorgeous Island of Hawaii. Thank you, Kevin for making each and every one of us feel important.

GREAT TOUR!

Puna Coast Expedition & Kilauea Volcano After Dark Lava Hunt Adventure

Perfectly planned out tour

Reviewed by: Stacey

I absolutely loved this tour! It was perfect! Each guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The van was clean, cool and they drove safely. All the food, drinks and snacks were very tasty and fresh. We got to see, do and learn so much and it was never grueling or boring. Each stop was so exciting and breathtaking. Taking this tour sheds 2 miles each way of walking out to the lava flow which is a huge bonus. Seeing the lava hitting the sea is amazing! Bringing binoculars will help you see it better. I have no suggestions for making this tour better because I truly think it's perfect the way it is and you will walk away very happy and satisfied. Thank you for a great 40th Birthday!
**Wanted to share with you guys that I did the Chain of Craters drive down to the Holei Sea Arch and on my way back up I saw 2 Nene's!! I was so excited! (pic below)**

Mahalo Stacey for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your day and especially glad that you came at a time when the volcano is very active! I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the guides - they will appreciate them! We hope to see you for another birthday in the future!! Mahalo!

Incredible, absolutely incredible!

Reviewed by: Terry from Texas

The Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour was easily the best event our group had while on the Big Island. Everyone loved it. BH uses very high quality helicopters and our pilot was well trained and very skilled. We all agreed that at no time did we feel unsafe. Our pilot was also very well informed and told us a lot of interesting things about the volcano and the Hilo side of the island. But, the views were the most memorable part of the trip. Don't forget your camera or you'll hate yourself.

Reviewed by: Marverick

菅野美穂さんのテレビを見て、どうしても扉なしのヘリツアーに参加したくなりました。ツアー前に丁寧にブリーフィングしていただき、安心してヘリに乗ることができました。初めてのヘリでしたので、揺れることを予想していましたが、水面を滑るような感じで不安はありませんでした。期待していた海に溶岩が流れ込み水蒸気が立ち上るところや溶岩の流れ、その熱風を肌で感じることができました。さらに、レインボーフォールなどの滝を俯瞰することができ、人生最高の体験をできたと家族3人喜んでいます。ツアー後、妻から前の席を譲ってくれてありがとうと感謝されました。妻曰く、前の席は最高だったよとのことです。今度は娘に座らせてあげたいです。友人にも是非紹介したいツアーです。ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: naruyuriyou

広大なハワイ島で自転車をこぐ!
ありそうで無かったアクティビティーでした。自前で自転車を持ち込むにはハードルが高いだけにとても気持ちよく良い経験ができました。
ファミリー総勢5名で参加。一番下の娘は8才で、私の後ろに後部ラインをつけて走ろうかと当初は予定していましたが、走行の練習途中に怖いと言いはじめ(実際にグラグラとし安定感がない)車への乗車でランデブー。リーダーのカワイさんと楽しみながら山を下りてきました。
全て英語ですが、そんなに問題はありません。
当日はイギリス家族3名、カナダカップル2名と一緒でした。
昼食は海まで行き、最高の景色を見ながら本当に楽しく一日を過ごせました。
いやー楽しかった!
完成度が高いアクティビティーです。お勧めです!

このたびはいろいろお世話になりありがとうございました。おかげさまで天気もよく、広大なハワイ島と念願のキラウエア火山を空から観ることができました。敢えて言うならばもう少し活発な火山活動が観られたら最高でしたが、さすがに自然には逆らえませんね(苦笑)。でも溶岩が流れ出ている様子などはハッキリ見えたので満足しています。
予算的にはどうかなと思いましたが、一生の思い出と考えれば決して高くはないと思いますよ。

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

最高の体験

Reviewed by: おてつ

値段も高いので参加を迷っていましたが、赤い溶岩をどうしても見てみたくて参加しました。

ドアありがパイロットプラス6人乗りのヘリコプターでドアなしはパイロットプラス4人乗りのヘリコプターでした。

チェックイン時間は出発時間の1時間前。
レンタカーは空港の駐車場に停めて帰りに駐車場の出口で7ドル?くらい払いました。
荷物は基本受付に預けて置いていきます。
カメラやスマホなど持ち込みたいものはストラップ付きでないと不可なので気をつけて。
短いストラップが2ドルで買えます。
ストラップのつけられないスマホはストラップ付きの防水カバーに入れて持ち込みました。
長い髪は束ねる必要があります。
出発時間の40分前から溶岩・火山に関するビデオを見た後に係員によるシートベルトなどの説明がありました。

ヘリコプターが初めてだったので最初は怖かったけど上空から見るハワイ島の景色はとても素敵でした。
この日は雨が降ったり止んだりで、地上では一瞬強い雨の時もあったけど問題なく出発できましたし、ドアなしでも機内で濡れることはなかったです。
ボルケーノに向かう途中では広大なマカダミアナッツ畑が見れました。
オーシャンエントリーは立ち上る煙で遠くからすぐわかりましたが赤い溶岩は見えなくて少しがっかり。
途中、黒い溶岩の大地の中で赤い溶岩が見えているところの上空を旋回して写真を撮らせてくれたりしました。左右どちらに乗っても撮れるように旋回してくれたので若干酔いました。
火口では表面の大部分が黒いですが、一部赤い溶岩がふつふつと動いているのが見れてとても感動しました。
(個人的にとても見たかったものなので)

その後は雲の切れ間を通りヒロへと帰還。
途中いくつかの滝を見たりヒロの街並みが見れます。
パイロットが英語でひたすら説明してくれます。

合計1時間弱のフライトでしたがヘリコプターという非日常に加えて念願の赤い溶岩が見れて大満足でした。
オーシャンエントリーが見られる船のツアーとも迷いましたが2017年8月の活動の様子だとオーシャンエントリーではがっつり赤い溶岩が流れてくるというわけではなさそうな感じがしたので火口の内部の赤い溶岩を直接見ることができたこのツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

昨年、天候のせいで2回のキャンセルの結果、飛ぶことが出来ませんでした。

このツアーはハワイ島の火山サイドと渓谷サイドを両方楽しむことができ、自然の豊かさを実感できるツアーです。今回は日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんにお世話になりましたが、色々なお話を伺いながら素敵な景色を見られて大満足でした。9歳の子供も一緒でしたが、TOSHIさんが色々な場面で子供にもわかりやすく説明して下さり、子供も堪能していたようです。
ヘリコプター内は空調がしっかり聞いていて半袖短パンで快適な環境です。
またお世話になりたいです。
