Absolutely AMAZING! Oliver was my pilot! The dude is gorgeous and his accent is even more gorgeous! Oliver is FUNNY and super knowledgeable about the island! He will give you lots of insider info as you are flying! He will fly you close to the waterfalls (that is, if they are flowing). This was my first time in a helicopter! It was just an incredible experience! I did the one hour tour.. However, 30 mins into the flight and my motion sickness kicked in. Uh oh! But, I was okay.. I just put my phone down from filming and looked straight ahead. That calmed my motion sickness a bit. Only complaint, I requested to be up front in my notes. I know it’s just a request but I was alone!!!!! The couple that was flying in the helicopter with me should have been sat together since I requested this long ago. However, they put the wife up front with the pilot and the husband in the back. So, I asked to be put on another helicopter as I was paying a lot of money for this one hour experience. They told me that this was not possible. They then said that they would talk to the couple and see if the couple was okay with it. Then, they came in and said I would be up front. I thought, “Wow, okay! Cool!” When we landed, we had about 15 mins before we were escorted back to the building where we checked in so the couple and I were chatting. I thanked them for being so cool about switching seats, given my request. They proceeded to tell me that they were not asked anything but were, instead, told the seating had changed due to weight distribution. I felt terrible. You could see the husband was displeased and super upset! I would NEVER put anyone out like that.. which, is why I asked for another chopper! But, they made me think that the couple was okay with the change. I do my research. So many reviews stated that you want to be on the opposite side of the pilot. That’s why I wrote the request. When you’re paying the kind of money this flight costs (more than plane ticket from California to Hawaii), you would hope your request was at least acknowledged! I had to bring it to their attention!!!!!! It was never noted.

Hi! Very nice tour, well seated. The pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, weather was unfortunately pretty bad but still ! The but is on the grounds, despite very polite staff; they sent an email a few hours prior to the tour requesting That we be here an hour early! First I wasn’t on international roaming so never got the email… second that was Useless, since the group waited more than half an hour before the tour started, with no complimentary water or coffee or whatever… for the price asked it could be affordable and nice …
