Excellent pilot and experience - Christian was the pilot. Knowledgable and friendly. Clear communication and knowledge of helicopter and area. Cloud cover precluded seeing active volcano but trip along north of island and into canyons made for an unforgettable trip. Highly recommended.

Five Stars for Christopher and an Incredible Helicopter Adventure - We had an incredible experience on our private helicopter tour! Our pilot, Christopher, was outstanding from start to finish. He had a fabulous music playlist perfectly synced to the scenery—each song seemed to match exactly what we were flying over, which made the whole experience even more memorable. We flew over some of the volcanos and Christopher also gave an excellent recommendation encouraging us to visit Manawaiopuna “Jurassic” Falls and the breathtaking cliffs along the northeast coastline. Both views were absolutely stunning and ended up being some of our favorite moments of the entire tour. One member of our group was a bit worried about motion sickness, but Christopher’s smooth flying skills and calm, confident approach made it a complete non-issue. We all felt safe, comfortable, and fully able to enjoy the ride. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can, ask for Christopher!

Worth Every Penny! - Our tour was 10 out of 5. Pilot Jessie was AMAZING! Absolutely worth the money & time. Way better than other Helicopters tours in the big island. I definitely want to do this tour again in the future with the same company and same pilot.

Beautiful Experience! - Fabulous tour! Jasmine was our pilot, and she did an amazing job of showing us the Big Island. We toured the lava fields, the waterfalls, beautiful, lush mountainous areas and the coast. We even saw several whales playing in the ocean. The music soundtrack matched what we were seeing and helped boost the joyful emotions that we were feeling as we soared above the Island. The staff were incredibly helpful with the reservations. It was a perfectly wonderful experience! We highly recommend!

Lovely Experience! - Amazing but was accidentally over charged. We hope to work it out. The doors off experience was definitely worth the extra money! Lovely experience!
