Incredible tour of the Mauna Loa volcano! A once in a lifetime event- truly spectacular! The pilot was very informative and a wonderful tour guide-educating us on the history of the island. Flying along the Hamakua Cost with all of its waterfalls, beautiful shoreline, Waipi’o Valley, Pololu was breathtaking! Would certainly do it again!

Our pilot, Maria, was so awesome! A great pilot and made us feel comfortable flying in a helicopter. She was very knowledgeable with geography and local historical references. Also, respectful of the Hawaiian culture. The views were spectacular and we were able to see all the different zones of the island. The topographical changes are almost surreal and we gained lots of insight about the history of the island, including the people. Flying back into one of the valleys was so amazing; seeing waterfalls falling from hundreds of feet that are only accessible via air. The pinnacle was flying over Kilauea and seeing the magma glowing inside the caldera. Unbelievable site and the enormity of the caldera blew us away.
