I had the amazing experience of seeing the volcano and lava field from a helicopter with the doors off! This is a once in a lifetime experience! The vantage point is unsurpassed and one really gets the feel for the enormity and power of volcanos. The volcano was very active during my flight and I could view red lava droping into the ocean, "sky lights" and brand new back sand beaches being created. During the flight you also see many of the beautiful waterfalls and varied micro-climates that make up the Big Island. My photos came out great and I was using a small, digital camera. A MUST DO!!

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.

Excellent experience, the best way to see all the island. Made all the better by the excellent guide.
This was our favorite activity of the eight we participated in on the islands of Kauai and the big island of Hawaii.
Office personell were very helpful in rescheduling and with time problems we had on another islands flight.

I was really looking forward to this helicopter tour since it was my first time, and it did not disappoint; it was incredibly fun.
This trip to Hawaii was specifically for this experience, so I made sure to splurge on a helicopter tour that allowed us to peek into the crater from above. It was truly amazing to see.
The two-hour course included views of Waipi'o Valley, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique perspective that only a helicopter can provide. Later, we also drove to see it from the ground, and that offered a different kind of emotional experience compared to the aerial view.
The helicopter seats were spacious and clean, and I didn't feel much vibration at all; I had no fear whatsoever. Even those who dislike roller coasters should be fine. I even thought it could have been a bit more thrilling.
As a note, if you're planning to take photos, you should wear dark clothing. In my case, the bright clothes of the person sitting in front of me reflected on the windshield, which was a bit of a hassle. I think it's considerate to wear dark clothes for the sake of others as well.

Currently, there are no visible lava flows on the Big Island of Hawaii from the ground, so I splurged and took a helicopter ride. The waterfalls and coastlines seen from the air are beautiful, but the bright red crater and lava flows were truly magnificent. I purchased a DVD of the flight, and it occasionally shows the inside of the cabin, capturing my comical expression as I stared in awe at the lava flows, glued to the window.

I was amazed by the completely different scenery compared to what I saw from the ground at Volcanoes National Park a few years ago. According to the pilot, whether you can see the lava varies by day, but fortunately, we were able to see the lava flowing like a river from above.
The price is a bit on the higher side, but thereโs no other place where you can get so close to such an active volcano, so I highly recommend the helicopter tour here.
Not only can you see the lava, but you can also experience the natural wonders by viewing the pure white steam rising from the crater that erupted 20 years ago and the vast land covered in lava from the sky.
It was also fun to be guided over jungles and waterfalls before reaching the lava.
The pilot's narration is all in English. For those who understand, the cheerful explanations with jokes are very entertaining, and you can also ask the pilot questions through the microphone during the flight. I think even those who donโt understand can enjoy just watching.
There were also elderly passengers using canes, but the staff provided good support, such as transporting them by cart to the helicopter and guiding them to seats that made getting on and off easier.
I definitely want to recommend this to friends visiting the Big Island.

I participated in this helicopter tour with a Japanese pilot, which was a bit pricey. Previously, when I rode a helicopter in Kauai, the pilot was a foreigner, and the other guests were from the mainland (United States). Of course, we were listening to a Japanese explanation tape, but I really wanted to hear a live explanation! So, I chose Blue Hawaiian, hoping to have a chance to have a Japanese pilot.
As a result, I had the most satisfying flight experience. The vast black land seen from above, the red, bubbling lava, the valleys, waterfalls, and expansive pastures... the beautiful coastline. It was a two-hour experience full of surprises.

This was an activity I had wanted to experience for the past two or three years, and I finally got to fulfill my wish.
I wanted to see the scene of lava flowing into the sea, but since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be helped.
The helicopter noise I had imagined was not bothersome, so it was an enjoyable experience.

The helicopter was safer and more comfortable than I expected. It was fine even with a little wind.
The staff's service was very kind, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
Throughout the journey, there was a detailed explanation by the pilot, Jason, but unfortunately, it was only in English, and I could only understand parts of it. Since conversations could only be done through the microphone, even if I said, "Wow, the volcano is amazing," the person next to me couldn't hear it.
That aside, the scenery was magnificent, dynamic, and beautiful. You can see the main points of the Big Island in about two hours, so even if you don't fully understand the explanations, I think it's a very worthwhile attraction.

Polynesian Adventure Tours has very knowledgeable staff members. They share information freely during the tour, which is a great asset in learning more about Hawai'ian history and the volcanoes specifically.
The only problem my wife and I had was how much talking went on. While the information was welcome at times, it seemed the talking never stopped. For some this may be perfect, but it was a little overwhelming/annoying for us.
Overall, the tour went well and the sites were spectacular.

I was picked up from the hotel in Waikoloa, and although I was told that a confirmation couldn't be made, I was able to ride in a helicopter piloted by the only Japanese pilot (Mr. Mochizuki) whom I had requested via email in advance. Mr. Mochizuki provided explanations in both languages to the American couple accompanying us and to us, which made it very enjoyable.
It was my first experience in a helicopter, and there was no vibration, with glass all the way to the floor. I was able to see the lava flowing into the ocean at Kilauea Volcano, and it was amusing to see the cows grazing on the vast Parker Ranch appearing as tiny dots. I was surprised to hear about the elementary school that was affected by a tsunami, located on top of an 800-meter cliff in Waipi'o Valley, and we got very close to a waterfall that has a drop of 1,000 meters, allowing us to fully enjoy the majestic nature.
Waikoloa is a dry area with brown lava land, but as we got closer to Hilo, we experienced sudden rain and saw much greenery, making for a wonderful experience of the vastness and climate differences of the Big Island in a short time! (Driving around takes a whole day, right?) Additionally, on the way back, although we had to wait for a few minutes, we could purchase the video from that day that was on board the helicopter.

I participated in the Circle of Fire tour departing from Hilo. The departure time was 9 AM, and six of us boarded one helicopter. Naturally, sitting by the window is preferable, but only three people can sit there, and the seating arrangement seems to be determined based on the balance of the aircraft. I was already feeling excited before getting on the helicopter, but the moment it took off, my spirits soared. Below me was the beautiful town of Hilo, and I could also see Rainbow Falls. After flying over the forest for a while, we finally arrived at the much-anticipated volcano crater. There were five plumes of smoke rising, and the helicopter circled above them. I could clearly see the red crater. It reminded me of the movie "The Lord of the Rings." It was truly moving. This is something you can only see from a helicopter. There are also Cessna tours available, but a helicopter is definitely the way to go. The altitude is completely different. After the crater, we passed over black lava (and spotted some red lava along the way) and saw the lava flowing into the sea at the Chain of Craters Road, creating steam, before heading back. The landing was surprisingly soft, and the ride was incredibly comfortable. However, I think it's a good idea for those who might get motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. To show the people sitting on the right and left sides of the helicopter, the pilot made right and left turns to give us a view of the crater, but those directional changes were quite nauseating. I was fine, but there was one person who seemed to be struggling. The entire tour was conducted in English. Initially, the staff only spoke English, but there was one Japanese person among them. It's fine even if you can't speak English. There seems to be a Japanese pilot named Toshi, but I guess that's just luck. If you depart from Kona, it costs more to see the crater, but from Hilo, you can take a relatively inexpensive 50-minute tour, which I recommend. Also, try to go early in the morning because it gets crowded since the crater is the main attraction. In the afternoon, clouds tend to form more easily. In fact, when I participated at 9 AM, there were two helicopters, but by the 10 AM departure, there were quite a few people in line. During the tour, I was quite eager to take videos, and I was able to buy one for $20. This video was taken without me realizing it, and it occasionally includes scenes from inside the helicopter, making for some great memories. I purchased it. So, I highly encourage you, the reader, to hop on a helicopter and see the red crater for yourself. It's amazing!
