Our pilot Darien was great, and the island tour was amazing. It’s not cheap, but you see sights you can’t see any other way. Coastline, plantations, old lava flows, volcanoes with lava flowing, waterfalls so much to appreciate the island. Great job Paradise Helicopters and Darien you made our special celebration perfect. The photos don’t do it justice but they look great, thanks again.

Once in a lifetime experience! Best activity you can possibly do. Rick, Mike and pilot Darren were the friendliest and most professional you could hope for. Amazing views from over the volcano to almost touching the waterfalls. Best time of any vacation anywhere! Karen, Chris and Kaprix from NM.
