Stunning Vistas- Great Staff- A real highlight of our time on the big island. - An excellent tour - well organized, nice staff, and beautiful vistas of the north and west coasts of the Big Island. This was a true highlight for our first visit to the Big Island. We did the doors on experience instead of doors off - glad we chose doors on for comfort and temperature. We would highly recommend Rainbow Helicopters. A great experience with stunning scenery and good explanations along the way from the pilot. Definitely worth it.

Beautiful Views! - Arrival is easy using the map they send. Checkin is quick and straightforward. The flight was amazing! Beautiful views and the Pilot/ tour guide is super knowledgeable. We had Jojo and he was smooth on the controls, answered all our questions and showed us some beautiful sites. You get down in the valleys to see the waterfalls which was awesome. We booked the 8AM time slot and it was a little chilly with doors off. We had pants and long sleeved shirts and jackets. So be sure to dress accordingly.

Unique - Intense, breathtaking, matchless, as it reveals some parts of the island you would have never seen otherwise. And the whole Rainbow team was super professional and kind, with special thanks to Jojo, who is a wonderful pilot, passionate about the Island, its history and its land.

Beautiful view of mountains and volcano - Breathtaking views up above ocean and Big Island. Best helicopter ride so far with pilot up front best view! We were 3,000 ft most of the time but went up to mountain in the clouds at 10,000 ft. It was a little chilly then.

Doors off Hualalai volcanoe 60 minute tour - The helicopter ride (doors off) was fun enough. This tour was more of a coast tour. You don’t actually get to see the volcano ( well not the big ones) so that was disappointing. I’ll take the blame for that though for not reading it more carefully. It said volcano tour but not Mauna Loa. Or Mauna Kea The issue we had was their disorganization. Our tour originally was for 8 a.m. The evening before they called to move it to 9. That’s fine. The next morning they called while we were on our way to reschedule again to an 11 departure. We showed up at 10:30 per their instructions and didn’t actually leave until about noon. They make you wear these goofy goggles. If we’d have known all of this, we would’ve definitely canceled. We took a helicopter in Kauai and it was so much better.
