I enjoyed the valley helicopter tour. Was cool to be able to get into the valleys by air and see the waterfalls. This isn't something that you could do without a significant amount of hiking. The helicopter was able to accomplish quite a bit in a short flight. The one downside which others have also called out are the rear facing seats on the Bell 407 helicopter. The seats are next to a concave window so your sight is quite limited. I recommend paying for the front seat if you want to ensure you have a good view. Would definitely fly on a different trip of theirs again.

Aloha techtrav4ler, Mahalo for taking the time to review us. We're very happy to hear you enjoyed your tour out of our Kona base. You definitely can see far more (and in a lot less time) by the air and even have the chance to see inaccessible areas that you wouldn't even be able to hike to! We do offer the ability to upgrade to guarantee your seat by the window and/or the co-pilot seat, it certainly is a unique experience to sit next to the pilot as well! We would love to welcome you back to experience more of this beautiful state of Hawai'i. We hope to see you on your next trip to Hawai'i. Mahalo, Paradise 'ohana

Wonderful and safe tour! This was a great way for us to see the Big Island in a way that we would not have been able to if we were on foot. We will say that it is pricey, but this was the most inexpensive out of all the tours. We signed up for the Kohala Coast tour, which was about 45 minutes. We had Koji as our guide. He was a wonderful pilot, and ensure that all of us had a great experience.

Aloha Z8950RDerins, The valley's are beyond beautiful, and the majority of the sights that you witnessed on our tour could only be seen by air. We are very happy to hear that Carlos was able to take care of you folks upon check-in. Your pilot Koji has a passion for flying, and we are absolutely thrilled that he was able to show you folks the incredible views the valley has to offer. Thank you for sharing your experience with Paradise Helicopters! Mahalo, Jazel
