Had a great trip my son and I both loved this trip. The pilot was great and had load of knowledge to share with us. If we ever go back to Hawaii we will do this trip again. Thanks to all

Had a fun time riding the bikes during the tour (it beats riding on a bus or hiking). The guide was very knowledgeable about the Volcano tour. I would suggest this tour to my friends. Thanks.

Doing what: 45-Minute Open-Door Volcanoes Helicopter Flight
The open door tour is the way to go as you can see so much. get unobstructed pictures, It is an exhilarating experience despite the initial fear of falling out. Don't worry - it is safe. Some advice is to wear warm clothes as it can get chilly. The 50 minutes is over in a flash. The pilot does a great job at explaining what you are seeing. The only reason we didn't rate it 5 stars is because of the price. It's really expensive for 50 minutes but it's also an awesome view of the volcano.

Doing what: Small-Group Tour: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Evening Lava Adventure
This is a long day tour. Pick up was around mid day, we travelled through a lot of the island, stopping off along the way for some sight seeing, and at a super bakery for some yummy snacks etc. Our tour guide Fran, was very knowledgeable, and really bought into volcanoes and Big island culture, This made her narratives interesting and understandable. We met some super folk on this tour, all of whom enjoyed it. Walking through a lava tube was interesting, as was the cheeky stop at some macadamia nut trees along the way. We stopped off at a golf course for some tea, which was nice and comfortable. The welcome was pleasant too. Towards the end of the tour, we returned to the previously visited visitor centre, right at the side of the volcano. The sun had set at this point, revealing a bright red glow for the distant volcano active spot. We could only get within a half mile or so from the active part, and didn’t see any live flowing lava which was a let down, but on the whole very enjoyable trip. The small group made the tour much more comfortable and fun, I think we all enjoyed this fact. We had plenty of time to look around at our own pace and direction. The tour was slightly hampered in full enjoyment by the VOG, which is volcanic fog. This coupled with a large mist cloud did spoil things, but hey, this is nature at work, so we cant really grumble at that. A long drive back to Kona, tired and sleepy. Thank you Fran for your efforts, and good luck in the future.

Simply brilliant. The pilot flew us over the volcano, flowing lava and waterfalls, ensuring that he circled both left and right so that people on both sides of the helicopter could take loads of photos. If you are lucky enough to sit in the front, you will either be sat next to the pilot or the door - which there isn't one! I would highly recommend taking this flight.

could not hear well on helo and did not get as much time over the waterfalls as I would have liked. I wish we could have landed at Akaka falls.
