I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a first time visitor to the Big Island. The views were spectacular! Take many pictures in flight as the DVD of the flight does not capture everything you see and ask alot of questions about what you are seeing. For me, it was worth the money! The staff were great!

This was an excellent trip!
The pre-flight activities were well organized, and the staff was very courteous.
The actual flight was incredible, and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions while in flight.
The weather was the only drawback. We couldn't see the crater due to rain/fog/wind. It was still an incredible trip, but it would have been even better to see the crater.
I would recommend this trip to anyone, although considering the cost, children probably wouldn't enjoy as much as adults. Seating is arranged by weight to balance the ride, so young children could be separated from Mom - might be an issue for some.
Overall, a wonderful tour conducted by a wonderful company.

The Volcano Helicopter Tour with Blue Hawaiian was outstanding! One of the highlights of our trip. We were not only fortunate enough to see lava in the crater and flowing into the ocean but saw many other great sites and learned a great deal about the region. Our guide (Thanks, Kemo!) was fun, knowledgable and a great pilot. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

The helicopter trip was fun. The pilot (Julie) was very informative. Would have been better if the volcano was erupting so that we could have seen that!

Absolutely fantastic!! Great care taken by the staff. Great attention to detail. Saftey always the first priority and concern. The staff is not only knowledgeable but absolutely incredibly fun to travel with. We would never go anywhere else and we will most certainly return. Keep up the great work! Aloha and Maholo!!

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

This was an awesome tour. We took the entire family (3 generations) and all had a blast. I'm sure timing is everything, but we had some really incredible views of flowing lava through "skylights", surface movement, and great views entering the ocean. Our pilot (Marty) was great! Very knowledgable and wanted to make sure everyone on the flight was able to get the best views of lava, waterfalls, and other points of interest. We bought the DVD of our flight afterwards and love it! Thanks Blue Hawaiian for a memorable event that we will cherish forever.

Tour of a lifetrime. Chose Blue Hawaiian because of their safety and tour awards. Definitely well-earned! Pilot Bob was knowledgable about Hawaii and well-spoken (and charismatic). He included all the passengers in his presentation and used our names. Always nice! Definitely a fun ride - and a view you can only appreciate from a helicopter.

Our pilot was friendly, very personable with each one of us. I loved how he used our names as if we already had knowledge of what he was about to share with us. That was a fun way to learn. Amazing how large this volcano is!! Later in the day we drove from Hilo down to the area so we could touch the lava in person. Felt like we were on another planet. Lava and desolation for as far as we could see. Thanks for this experience. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are the BEST!!! Awesome pilot and staff!!

社員旅行でハワイヘ行くことになり一生の思い出にと考え会社の仲間7人でスカイダイビングにチャレンジしました。飛行機からおちる瞬間はMAX怖かったですが、初速度(約10秒位)がおわり自由落下になってからは余裕がでてきてハワイを一望することができました。
なんて表現して良いか分かりませんが、皆さん、「最高です!」。
怖い気持ちは飛ぶ一瞬、楽しい気持ちは一生モン!チャレンジする価値は大アリです。
会社の仲間7人とチャレンジしましたが、7人とも同じ気持ちです。迷ってる方がいましたら是非オススメです。

My husband was excited for this opportunity. I was absolutely scared to death and was confident that I would back out before jumping. However, Wally was my tandem partner and he's been jumping for over 30 years so I felt confident that I'd somehow survive. I was scared but very curious at the same time. So we both did it and loved it! I was the first one on the plane to jump. Everything went smoothly and we both highly recommend this activity for the ultimate experience of a first timer! We both had a blast, bought the video/photo package to remember and have no regrets!!

遅く行くと待ち時間が恐ろしく長いと書き込みにあったので、レンタカーでワイキキからすっ飛ばして9時前につきました。講習などは超適当でやたら死んでも全てあなたのせいなどの説明ビデオを見せられます。急いで走って来たかいがあって1番目のフライトで40分ほどでテイクオフ・上空に上がるのに感覚20分程度、2列に並んだ8名ほどが次々ダイブします。怖いもクソもなくあっとゆう間に自由落下、ゴーグルをはめてくれますが合ってないのか風が入ってきてよく見えません手で押さえたらなんとか見えました。60秒ぐらいでパラセールが開いてそこから5分程度景色を楽しみながら余裕で楽しいです。写真ビデオは100ドル以上するので私はこっそりマイクロカメラを仕込み動画撮影にチャレンジ!なんとか撮影は出来ましたが、綺麗に全身は撮れませんし最初にポケットの中身は全て出すように言われますから、仕込みはこっそり腕時計につけて乗り込みました。本来はダメみたいで見て見ぬふりをしてもらっていたような気がします。一生の記念にと思われるならお金は出しましょう!

A surprise helicopter tour for my birthday from my boyfriend was one of the best presents ever! As we departed Maui, we flew straight to Molokai to see the world's highest sea cliffs and the lush, greenery of the unspoiled island.
There were countless waterfalls and the water was beautiful! I learned a lot about the islands of Maui & Molokai, and it was definitely an experience I would recommend to everyone visiting Hawaii for the first time. We will definitely be doing more helicopter tours in the future!

初めてのハワイだったので、思い出に残ることをやりたいということで利用しました。
南国といえども、高度4000メートルの上空は寒かったです。
落下の際は、体が風圧で痛いんですが(想像を超えます)そこでしか体感できない爽快な痛さです★
ハワイを一望できますし、とにかく感動しました。
オプションで、カメラマンを付けることができるんですが、少し金額は高め。でも、絶対初めてであるなら付けたほうがいいです!!
帰国してから、その動画と写真を友人や家族と一緒に見ました。
先日、家族の1人が旅行でハワイに行きましたが、おススメしておいたところ参加したようで、「もう、最高すぎた!教えてくれてありがとう」なんて感謝もされてしまいました。
いつ思い出しても最高の体験です!!

私は、私が生まれる前に、パパやママが溶岩を見に行ったことを聞かせれていて、この遊覧飛行をとても楽しみにしていました。ワイコロアはとても天気が良かったのですが、マウナケアの方角は雲が多っかたので、ちょっと不安でした。不安は当り、天候が悪いので、溶岩が見れるヒロ方面はツアーが中止になってくれました。ものすごく悲しかったけれど、安全を第一に考えてくれるスタッフの皆さんに、残念な気持ちと裏腹に安堵の感がありました。日本人のパイロットの人が、ワイピオ渓谷も素晴らしいですよ、でもキャンセルしても構いません。ツアー料金は全て返しますとまで言ってくれて、パパとママにお願いをしてワイピオ渓谷のみのツア-に行くことにしました。日本でヘリコプタ-には乗ったことがあったけど、離陸のとき、ハワイ島の大地を飛んでいくとき、その広大な迫力に感動しました。少し雲があったり、途中で雨が降ってきたけれど、ワイピオ渓谷、まるで違う世界にきたような、夢をみているような感じがしました。渓谷の合間から流れ出る、たくさんの滝、飲んでみたくなりました。渓谷の中を飛んでいるときちょっと怖かったけれど、12歳の私でも多くの感動を味わうことができました。

ハワイ旅行は初めてで、スカイダイビングを最大の目的にしていた私。
実は高所恐怖症なのですが、飛行機で空高くなるにつれて、高所恐怖症より、ワクワク感と緊張のほうが高まってきました。
さあ。飛び出す瞬間・・・・あっ!という間の出来事でしたが、怖いというより、楽しかったです。
飛んでみて本当に良かった。体験した人にしかわからない体験だと思います。
悩んでいる方は、ぜひやってみる価値はあります。
