Really cool experience. We passed over the Kilauea volcano just as it was starting to churn up some lava. We also did a stop at a waterfall, which was gorgeous. Shane was a fantastic pilot, tour guide, and photographer! He got some great photos of our family at the waterfall. You can tell he really loves his job. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Really great helicopter tour of The Big Island. I would highly recommend doing the option of landing near the waterfall. That piece to me made all the difference and was worth the extra cost. James was our pilot and he explained what were were looking at and also made us feel very safe. I would recommend this helicopter company for anyone who wants to do a tour.

Ours was a fantastic experience that showed us many sights on the island and James told us facts about all we saw. He did well to point out things of interest and any extras like whale sightings. It was very exciting and well worth our time.
