Honolulu to Hilo One Day Fly Away Tour - Volcanoes National Park & Waterfalls
Amazing tour and worth every minute!!!
Reviewed by: Laurie & Karl
We flew from Honolulu to Hilo where we were greeted by our tour guide Dexter who was already waiting at the airport. He was born and lived on the Big Island for his entire life so his knowledge of history on the island was phenomenal. We highly recommend this tour and especially if you're lucky enough to have Dexter as your guide!!! Thank you Dexter for making our experience the best!

Honolulu to Hilo One Day Fly Away Tour - Volcanoes National Park & Waterfalls
Not worth the trip when there's no lava
Reviewed by: Heiko
Flying one hour to a volcano that isn't active isn't worth the effort, time or money. We also saw 2 waterfalls, a lava tunnel, a lava field and Hilo, the town with the airport and closest to the volcano park. But again all not worth the time, effort and money to go. Our guide, Dexter was good but he can't make up for the missing attractions.

Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch
This was a great tour!
Reviewed by: Tabatha
We went to a black sand beach, bakery ( try the malasadas they're amazing), craters, lava field, lava tube, and steam vents. We didn't get to try their lunch because someone in the group was car sick(hard to eat when someone is vomiting right in front of you)
For the helicopter ride we went down the coastline instead of over the volcanoes due to weather around there. The pilot was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly.
This tour would have been a lot better if it wasn't raining (rains there a lot so bring a raincoat just incase) and we didn't have someone who got carsick. That wasn't the tours fault and I definitely would do this tour again.

Reviewed by: Greg
Perfectly organised day, from communication prior to the day to everyone involved in sny part of the tour.
The guide was great, hugely knowledgeable and interesting.
The helicopter trip was perhaps the most incredible thing I have ever done. The ground crew were superb and the pilot made it the best trip ever. After waiting 30 years to do this tour it didn't disappoint.
Could not recommend it highly enough.
This is a very special Adventure and glad we were able to show you the beauty of Kauai. Now you know why they call it the Garden Isle

Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch
Good tour, but you can't schedule nature
Reviewed by: Tom
The timings and organisation of the tour were good. We were picked up from the airport and taken to see the Volcano National Park sites with a good guide who kept us informed and was accommodating of our needs. Unfortunately you can't schedule nature and we didn't see any volcanic activity apart from a little steam, but it was still interesting, especially the lava tube.
We had a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters to finish off with, but I will not review that part, I will review their admin however. We really wanted a copy of the video of our flight as it was for a 50th birthday, but due to a technical difficulty could not get it at the time. We were told to just drop them a line, but after several emails and calls, still nothing - very disappointed in them.

Oahu to Big Island in a day
Reviewed by: Michael Speight
Glad we did it but it's expensive and a very long day. Up at 3:45 to get a taxi to the airport for a 6:00am flight. The tour said lunch included, neither we nor anyone else on the tour thought it would be a packet of chips and a turkey wrap in a box on board the bus. It was. The tour locations were excellent, the volcano, lava tube, waterfalls were all spectacular. The guide was good.
Aloha Michael - Mahalo for allowing us to show you the Big Island! Mahalo for sharing your review. I will pass on you comments about lunch to the team and see if we can do better. Take care. Poly Ad 'Ohana

Volcanoes and Waterfalls!
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii
Great way to see a lot in 1 day! We flew over from Oahu to Big Island and spent the entire day learning about Volcanoes National Park. Akaka Falls was gorgeous too!
We did the land tour and helicopter combo. Unfortunately, the helicopter tour cancelled because of weather. We joined the rest of the group who was doing the land-only option and saw a few really cool spots including Liliuokalani Gardens and other parts of Hilo town. I wore comfortable shoes (running shoes) and am glad I did because we did quite a bit of walking.

OH MY GOODNESS!!
Reviewed by: Denise
We traveled from Oahu to the Big Island and were ready for our adventure. We boarded our helicopter for our sightseeing adventure of the volcanoes. I was extremely lucky to be chosen to be in the co-pilot seat!! What an exciting ride. Our pilot was awesome. He was very informative and answered all our questions. This is the only way to see volcanoes, from the air. When our flight was over we were to be picked up by the tour bus and continue our day. Somehow we were overlooked and no bus picked us up. I called the company and they immediately sent someone to Glenn to pick us up. He fed us lunch and then took us to meet up with Dexter, our tour guide and we enjoyed a day of sightseeing. Even with that little oops, we were very pleased with the whole experience.

Excellent Time with Informative Guide
Reviewed by: Jennifer P
My daughter and I went on this tour, and had an excellent time. Our guide -- Dexter -- was highly knowledgeable about everything: history, geology, culture, botany, you name it. It rained the day we were there: pouring rain at some points that seemed to magically clear up each time we got off the tour bus. But we didn't mind, because Dexter did such a fabulous job of explaining where we were going next, why it was so significant, and what we were passing along the way (he seemed to know each and every different tree species) that we barely noticed the rain. Definitely recommend this trip.

Lava Low
Reviewed by: Disappointed Cajun
Tour was not as enjoyable as expected due mainly to some within the tour group who created delays that impacted the tour. Tour guide was fine albeit somewhat "dry" with regard to "tales." The delays were beyond the tour guide's control but it did take away from the time we had to enjoy the various sites. For the cost, of which the airline fare from Oahu to the Big Island was the major cost involved, it was not worth it. If you're already on the Big Island, the cost is probably worth the tour.

Volcano National Park from Oahu
Reviewed by: Mike Drinkwater
It's not hard to complain about things, but honestly, the trip was spot on in most aspects, communication for the most part, although the email said terminal B in Honolulu, and it was actually Terminal 1, but it also put check in at 5:30am, and the flight was actually 7:30am, so plenty of time to adjust. Pick up directions spot on, lunch was provided and ok, I wouldn't write home about it, but there was a lot of walking, so maybe a lite lunch was better.
From a personal stand point, we were only allowed a certain amount of time at each location, I would have spent longer at other locations and less at others, that said, I don't feel like I missed anything, and had I gone on my own, I might have.
So overall, I think it was worth it, I didn't have to worry about booking flights, or getting transportation, lunch, and mapping out where to go, so a lot of headache was saved. I don't think when you book something like this you should expect the greatest trip, they need to balance what works for everyone who will be on that, and in return, we save ourselves a lot of work.
Overall, I would book another tour with Polynesian, it was worth the money.

Must not be missed
Reviewed by: Linda Daxon
You havent really been to Hawaii until you've done the Big Island Tour and seen Volcano National Park. This is how it all got here: volcanoes. We got to go right up to the edge of the Kilauea cauldera, saw many steam vents and walk through the 1/3 mile long Thurston Lava Tube. The whole Big Island is so different from Oahu: much less build up, black sand beaches, unbelievably thick tropical rain forests. Guide Hugh was born and raised on the island and is incredibly knowledgeable. I am so glad I sloted this day into my itinerar. Highlight of my trip.

Our tour guide was Hugh and he was so nice and funny. We knew about the island and it's plant and animal life. We was knowledgeable about the volcano and the history of the area. He was pretty amazing and I learned a lot from him. We saw the beautiful black sand beach. The water fall and lava tube were both truly amazing. The steam vents and the volcano craters were spectacular. We were in awe at the magnitude of the volcano. There were a few hikes. Some with stairs and semi-steep grades. All in all this was very enjoyable and fun. We left a cell phone on the tour bus and I contacted the office. Hugh and Kris got the phone and had it returned to us with no problems. they truly went above and beyond. I would recommend this tour and we would do it again.

Good start for my vacation
Reviewed by: -PAUL-
First time riding in a helicopter, the ride was awesome. I did get to see a lot aerial coverage, especially recent destruction that occurred. Checking out the other destinations were ok, but the park was the real treat. True interaction with steam vents. Feeling the heat come from it is insanely hot; even walking a distance away from it and the wind picking up for a bit, my sunglasses fogged up.
This is an experience only you can take for yourself. The helicopter ride made the volcano national park that more interesting. I would do it again just for the helicopter ride.
