Traveler Reviews

We had a very professional pilot with good skills and safe operation. ( I am a pilot). Incredible coverage of the island. Great maneuvering so both sides could see. Saw red lava in the valcano. Good penetration back into the canyons. Well run operation. Good equipment. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Helicopters are not cheap but this was definitely my money’s worth.

We saw live active volcano. Spent 10 minutes over the volcano due to clear weather and no other traffic. Fantastic tour included waterfalls around Hilo and flying into the valley to see more hidden waterfalls. Once in a lifetime adventure and worth the money for the window seats. Matt is a fantastic pilot and made sure both sides of the helicopter got the same views.

Fantastic experience. Everything about the initial contact process was informative and easy. Check-in and Safety briefing was orderly. Pre-flight and off we go. The flight was amazing. Our Pilot, Page is a great pilot, explaining everything clearly. His insight and information about what we were seeing was a perfect narrative. The sights along the coast and around the volcanoes are world class. Flying with Paradise Helicopter matched the views. I highly recommend this experience.

We had an amazing experience and the scenery on the big island did not disappoint! Our host was a very accommodating gentleman. Our pilot was experienced, confident, fun, and gracious. I recommend to do this at the start of your vacation, so that you get the lay of the land. I would take my 3 year old on this flight in the future. I am excited to try the smaller 4-person helicopter with the “doors off.”

My wife and I recently visited the Big Island for several days before continuing on to Oahu. We stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and our concierge recommended Paradise Helicopters for a unique experience (we did not book ahead of time). She called and arranged a tour for the 2 of us the next day to do the Circle Tour which was a 2 hour complete circle of the island. It was fantastic! We took a cab back to the KOA airport the next morning and were met by the ground crew who were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We had a safety briefing and were told what to expect on the trip and met the other family who joined us. The helicopter looked brand new and was fairly comfortable. There were 5 seats in the back in a 2-3 bench format and 1 person was able to sit next to the pilot. Our pilot was Matt and he was amazing. He told us how the headsets work so we could all talk and ask questions and he knew so much about the island it was crazy. The tour was excellent and
