Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls / Circle of Fire [A-Star]
Only way to see Volcano
Blue Hawaiian is the best. Flew with them on Oahu too and experience was just as good in Hilo. Having to pay to park at airport sucks. Other than that, it was perfect. Flight is super safe, never felt nervous about it. Jeremy was our pilot and was very friendly and kept us informed everything we saw and questions we had. We took several turns to ensure everyone could see the lava and got in close. It will rain in Hilo often but that's the norm, be prepared for possible rainy or cloudy conditions but they will fly around any rains. They are used to it.
Basically, well worth it, fly the Eco Star is most comfortable, don't let fear of flying be the reason you don't do this. None of the volcano ground tours will get you anywhere close to the action, this is the only way to see the volcano.

Great value
The boat ride out to our fishing spot was worth the price in itself, I had never been on a boat before or on muchless the open ocean. The seas were relatively calm but our party of 3 all took a motion sickness preventative and none of us experienced any problems during the trip. Make sure to bring a light jacket as it will feel cool with the wind and especially after the sun goes down.
The crew made us feel comfortable and safe at all times, provided dinner on the way out to sea and we were also able to eat our catch if you wanted to.
We each caught one fish and had a good relaxing time on the way home with the view of Oahu & the stars from sea.
