Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option

Helicopter tour is always a wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Girls trip, 2024/03/08

I’ve done this more than 5 times and every trip is different and wonderful. Great way to see more of the island without driving. Love all of the employees. It’s a great experience. Last time in March 2022 we took three grandsons and son in law. Very fun trip. They have a fantastic time. This time I took a friend who had never been to island. We again had a fabulous trip. Thank you ❣️

Big Island Helicopter Circle Island Flights with Landing Option [from Kona]

Professional

Reviewed by: David F, 2024/02/13

Great trip with Tyler being our pilot. Not only was he a great pilot he was very knowledgable about the Big Island and about things a vacationer would not know. Saw many whales and spinner dolphins.. Circle Island tour was a great experience! Support staff was great and gave us all the information needed to make the trip great, but also safe!

Kilauea Volcano Helicopter Tour - Blue Hawaiian Circle of Fire Flight from Hilo

A great flight

Reviewed by: Sean, 2024/01/07

Since we did this the day before leaving, it was really fun to see lots of places we'd visited on the ground from the air, and to get a better view of crater road through the park. The kids loved having the headsets and microphones, and asked lots of questions. The pilot was very patient with them and had taken the trouble to learn their names and really interact with them. He also accepted requests for minor deviations from his flight plan to see particular things, flying into clouds so that we could get a better view of a rainbow. They also take video of the whole trip, and we wound up paying for that too since it seemed reasonably priced compared with the cost of the overall experience.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>by ブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ

ヘリでハワイ島1周

Reviewed by: タコさん, 2023/08/25

料金が一人10万円超え、高いと思いながらの参加でしたが、日本語のパイロットのリクエストがかなってTosiさんがお出迎え安心しました。
イグアスの滝遊覧でもヘリに乗りましたが15分で2万8000円、今回のフライトは2時間半、単純計算で10倍とすると28万円。実際ワイコロアのヘリポートからヒロまで飛んで給油、燃料代もかかっています。何よりパイロットが日本語で説明、いろいろな質問にも明快に応えてくださり、火山の火口も迫力満点!渓谷の滝も素晴らしかったです。ハワイ島の成り立ちが良く分かり、絶対損はしません。余裕があれば滝に降りるコースもいいのでは… 2023,8,22参加

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

AMAZING flight!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2023/08/25

This was the BEST flight I've ever done on Big Island. The doors-off was the way to go. It was a 4-seater with only 3 of us on-board so we each got a window seat.

Tips:
-Bring/wear a windbreaker. It gets VERY chilly with the wind.
-Sunglasses are a must
-Cameras or cell phones for photos must have a wrist strap

ハワイの自然を感じることのできる特別な体験

Reviewed by: Mucho6, 2023/08/05

料金は少し値をはりますが、ハワイまできたのでそこは思い切って参加してみました。

結果いいお金の使い方をしたと思っています!

まずヘリに乗ることなんてなかなかない中でヘリの揺れなんかも大変貴重な体験でした。

景色も地上からは見れない景色を存分に楽しめることが出来て満足しています。

一点だけあるとすると、やはり英語が苦手であれば多少追加料金はかかりますが、日本人の運転手にお願いしたほうが無難だと思います。

我々は英語のツアーで多少は言ってることがわかるものの、やはり歴史やその土地の情報なども実際に見ながら説明してくれるので吸収力が違うと思います。

Mauna Loa & Kilauea Big Island Volcano Helicopter Tour from Hilo - Blue Hawaiian

Superb experience

Reviewed by: LammyP, 2023/05/19

We thoroughly enjoyed our flight over the volcanoes. From the staff giving us our safety briefing to pilot, everyone was friendly and professional and explained everything thoroughly. The flight was great, despite a little rain... which meant we flew above a rainbow! We got to see a few craters and the pilot made sure to show them from bother sides so that all passengers got a good view.
There was a fun soundtrack to go along with each stage of the flight too. The flight was recorded which could be purchased, if desired.

Only slight downside was that it wasn't the easiest for us to find. The satnav took us to the nearby UPS depot and there's just one small sign for Blue Hawaiian, once you get up to the building. Not worth marking the experience down for though, would 100% recommend.

Big Island Volcano Kilauea & Mauna Loa Flight from Hapuna - Sunshine Helicopters

Jungle, waterfalls and volcanos oh my! Just a sight

Reviewed by: Lauren Ralph, 2023/03/18

We were able to get a Birds Eye view of the lava paths over the saddle road and it just showcased how awesome nature really is. The clouds hindered our view of the caldera over volcanos national park (but there was a massive winter storm). The coolest part for me was seeing the snow on top on Mauna Kea. My husband loved the waterfalls along the coast.

Was priced and purchased a Volcano Tour. I understand the Volcano flow and eruption had stopped, but I shouldn't be charged the premium fee if we only received a Coast Tour (which is about 1/2 the cost).

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Vickie, 2022/12/28

Tianna was our pilot and was a phenomenal one. She handled that very tiny helicopter without a problem. I have a tendency to be motion-sick and I had zero problems with her at the stick.

We were disappointed that there wasn't any lava flowing but we got great views of Kilauea's craters and the changes since we were last on the Big Island. She made sure everyone got a good view of what we were seeing and was quite knowledgeable about the area.

They give you advice about what to wear and I fully advise everyone to pay attention to it. Temp in the chopper was ~50°F with buffeting winds from the rotors. Because we listened, we were comfortable. The only complaint was the wind was strong enough to make my eyes water and it was hard to see at times. That said, it was a fun experience and I highly recommend it.
