booked a circle island tour with Paradise and so glad we did. friendly, professional, knowledgeable. we got lucky with a perfect weather day and so we saw all the highlights. waterfalls, jungle, valleys, snow capped peaks, and the current eruption lava crater. we were lucky enough to see about a dozen or more whales from the air. really was an outstanding tour.
a couple things to be aware of. first, if your a bigger person, it will start to feel cramped towards the end of the two hours. just the way it is in a chopper IMO. also, depending on the camera your using, the light, windows, and speed of the helicopter can make it difficult to get great pictures. if i had it to do again (hopefully someday) i would pick a doors off tour to assist with getting good photos. though i don't think this particular tour is available that way(could be wrong). with the high cost of this trip, these are good things to know.
our pilot was a great guy, answering any question from his passengers. and you really do see all the amazing things Hawaii island has to offer.
