Very friendly staff. As it was my first time in a helicopter, I was glad that they took safety seriously. Instructions were very good. Toured the volcano area as much as we could. There was weather near the caldera so we couldn’t fly directly over it. However our pilot Jim gave us a good overview of the park and then took us to the river and the waterfalls. After that he took us along the coast. Highly recommend. My husband was thrilled.

I booked the helicopter tour of the Hawaiian Volcano for two people, following the directions on the website regarding entering the weight of the passengers. Upon arrival, I was informed that only one of us could fly due to an error one Viator website encountered when entering weights in kilograms, instead of pounds. Trying to contact Viator online to request a refund proved impossible due to the seemingly deliberate flaws in the design of their feedback form. The flight itself was incredible. Safari Helicopters 5 stars. Viator customer service and IT, zero stars.

Your Safari Crew is glad to know you enjoyed the Volcanoes National Park Safari. We appreciate your understanding of the weight limits for a safe and comfortable flight for all but still sorry that one of you were unable to fly as scheduled.

The helicopter ride was very smooth. I am afraid of heights but for some reason I did not have that feeling while being inside the helicopter. The pilot was giving a lot of info on the island and what we were seen which is always nice. The only downside is that everything is much further away than you expect. We did see the kilauea smoking but no active lava flowing during our trip which was 3/5/25.

Aloha Brenda! Mahalo nui for your review and rating. We truly appreciate you choosing Safari Helicopters. We have to maintain a safe distance from the active Volcano. We get as close as regulations and clouds in the area allow and can only share with you what Mother Nature allows during your flight hour.
