Our pilot offered us plenty of photo opps as he came around to the lava flow more than a couple times. James AKA Kimo was really great. He had plenty to tell us & put up with our questions very graciously. This is a must to consider if a helicopter ride is on your itinerary. more

I took a trip a few weeks ago over Hilo. It was raining in the early morning and I called ahead to see if the trip was cancelled or not. The lady said that the fog and rain was just local to Hilo. Once outside of Hilo just north we saw a few waterfalls, but not nearly as close as... more

I was very disapointed on the trip. Blue Hawaii called the night before and reminded us about the appointment and not to wear a white shirt. Well an overweight guy and his overweight wife came in with their white T-shirts, they were placed in the front seat and now I have 36 out of 51 pictures that are ruined. Also... more

They provide a very professional yet engaging experience. The Staff was excellent. Ruby was very helpful and friendly. Toshi was an excellent guide and very accommodating. We toured the whole island and saw lava flows, active vents and wonderful waterfalls. Everyone had a good view and Toshi made sure to turn the helicopter around so all could see the really... more

This was our first helicopter trip and we really enjoyed it. We chose the two hour trip that pretty much covered all of the Big Island. The whole operation was classy---from the service to the maintenance of their building and helicopters. Safety was a high priority and their approach definitely created a high sense of confidence that you were in... more

We were not sure if we wanted to take a helicopter tour of the volcano area, but decided to do it after all. (We had done one years ago on Maui and loved it but they are expensive) We did the 50 minute "Circle of Fire + Waterfalls." The views of the landscape, ocean, clouds, and the taste of local... more

This was my first time in a helicopter and I will admit, I was a little nervous before the flight. I had inquired with other companies for the same tour, but chose BH merely on reputation. Although BH was pricier than the other companies, I somehow felt more relaxed and reassured by booking a reputable company. The check in at... more

We took the Eco-Star out of Kauai and it was a great experience. The helicopter was new, solid and appeared to be well maintained. The pilot was very professional, and knowledgeable, the was were pleasant. The views were great! Got some great photos & video. Its in the Harbor Mall, inside, you will NEVER find it without that. more

OK my wife says this is a must-do if you can afford it, and I think it's the best way to get a sense of scale and unique views of the volcano craters and vents - I'm a geologist and have flown 100+ helicopter flights before so was less moved by the actual helicopter experience itself, compared to my wife... more

Me and my wife took the "Circle Of Fire Plus Waterfalls" from the Hilo airport (Big island, Hawaii) and I would say it was a lifetime experience. Ray was our pilot. He is doing this with blue hawaii for the last 7 years. He was very good with a ready wit. You might feel the trip cost a bit high... more
