Traveler Reviews

Sorry but our flight tour got cancelled because of weather so I cannot review this tour for you I’m sure it would have been a great experience

I can’t explain how amazing and attentive the crew was during the entire adventure. They make sure you are safe an comfortable every step of the way. They go out of their way to insure you understand what you just signed up for and will enjoy. Kriti- what can I say about her??? Only one Word comes to mind and that would be AMAZING!! Space she was so funny and knowledgeable and told us everything about every single area you could possibly know which made the tour very interactive and we all had a ton of fun. if you have the opportunity to ask for a specific pilot, please ask for her because you will definitely be an awe. Overall view very clean very safe very aware of your safety they take great measure to ensure you’re comfortable. And I would highly recommend doing the “doors off” versus the doors on it enhances the experience

We loved the canyon with the waterfalls, the Kilauea viewing and the Maunas. The different climates were amazing and our pilot made it very interesting.

Most memorable? Hard to choose. Certainly circling Kilauea Iki deep, steaming crater and towering waterfalls in sheer-walled "Keyhole" canyon. Dramatic, informative, best helo flight ever taken. Spectacular even without flowing lava.
