Anniversary - Great value. The app works great except for the occasional periods of static between some areas. Sometimes silence sometimes static. Did not figure out a fix other than turning down the volume. Best part is knowing we saw all that we wanted to see and found some things we would have driven right by. Got everything we would have gotten from a $150/person tour.

Safe and Professional: Great volcano tour - Pilot Jim and the ground crew was great. We felt safe and enjoyed the entire experience. We had a couple of apprehensive first timers and they made everyone feel comfortable

The pilot and ground crew... - The pilot and ground crew were very organized and informative. The flight was smooth and we saw a lot of the island. We did think we’d be a little closer to the ground to view the volcanos but it was still a great experience.

Great aerial tour of the Big Island! - We had a great time with Safari. Drew, our pilot, is incredibly knowledgeable about the island, history, and the volcanoes. He’s an excellent pilot. He was careful to make sure that people on both sides of the helicopter got good views of everything he showed us, which included macadamia farms, lava flows, craters, steaming vents, waterfalls, and much more. The grounds crew (wish I remembered their names), did a great job welcoming us, giving us an overview, keeping us safe, and taking great pictures of us. I highly recommend Safari!

Lava Flowing, but Not Close Enough - Drew, our Helicopter guide, was professional , safe and knowledgeable. The two workers that greeted us and got us prepped were friendly. We were informed to be there 40 minutes before the excursion, we did a lot of sitting around and waiting.30 minutes before is PLENTY of time. Our tour was 25 minutes late, so be prepared. The ride was smooth, felt very safe and learned a lot. We were able to see the Kilauea volcano and the lava flowing out. I did have expectations to see other parts of the island such as cliffs and waterfalls a little closer. Everything seemed somewhat far away almost as if we were in a plane. I had this idea with a helicopter that we would be able to get closer and get a feel for the size and magnitude of things, that was a disappointment. Make sure to do research before embarking on the trip, nothing is cheap. Overall my kids enjoyed the event. Mahalo
