My family of 5, including children ages 10,7,3, had a fantastic time on our tour! Cookie was friendly and helpful in getting us all checked in and prepped. Our pilot, Sam, was fantastic! We appreciated how safety-oriented she was (by informing us that she was a pilot first and tour guide second), but she was also a very informative tour guide full of knowledge and information which she freely shared. She was great at pointing out sights of interest, as well as giving us some great recommendations on things to do in the area with our boys. We felt completely safe and comfortable, and we all enjoyed our time! It was well worth the money and the drive from the Kona area. After our morning helicopter tour, we explored the NP on foot which was just the right amount of time for our kids. It helped seeing the views from the air first. Thank you for giving us a unique vantage point from which to view the volcano!!
