Unforgettable - I was very nervous as it was my first helicopter flight but felt very safe at all times. The pilot was very calm, I was surprised how softly we landed. The national park is beautiful on foot and also from above:-)

Totally awesome! - Our pilot David did an excellent job of taking us over the active volcano. We flew through rainbows. David gave an amazing commentary through out and had a fantastic playlist for the trip. Kudos to David.

Amazing experience - Our pilot was Wes and he provided us with an awesome experience. He made sure that we all saw the rainbows, volcano and waterfalls. The flight was very smooth. This was our first helicopter tour and we felt at ease with Wes and Blue Hawaiian.

Poor flight, minimal information. - Helicopter blades were out of balance. The noise from the blades was overwhelming and the entire helicopter shook. The staff and crew were more interested in providing safety information than making you feel welcome. The pilot was mediocre in what we were shown and not very informative on the caldera and craters which is why we choice this tour. They give you the hard sell to watch the video of the flight and purchase pictures from them.

Last minute cancellation - Upon arrival at the heliport we had the option to just take a helicopter ride or not, the weather that day brought low clouds and the pilot says he could not promise us views. The were gracious to offer a refund or rebook. We opted for a refund.

Volcano tour - I was hoping to at least see the crater at Kilauea volcano. I would have gladly given up 60% of the tour to fly there. A longer flight would have been great to see more. Pilot was awesome and very knowledgeable
