We did the Big Island tour and all we could say is OMG! The views were amazing from the helicopter. 6 of us together and not one complained or missed anything the pilot pointed out. Maria, our pilot, was very knowledgeable about the island and made the whole trip just amazing! She must have answered 500 guestions from us:-)! We even got to see splashing lava! Everything about our visit was great from the moment we walked in the door to leaving the parking lot. Worth every penny!

Sunshine Helicopter Company was smooth and enjoyable from beginning to end. Our pilot Connor was AMAZING. Connor was informative about the tour and displayed a calm demeanor which settled any fears or anxiety about the helicopter ride! Highly recommend Sunshine helicopters and have Connor fly you!

Awesome experience. Guide was great and showed us many points of interest. We went over the volcanoes and waterfalls and saw whales. They also take your picture before you get on the helicopter and videotape your trip for a nominal fee. Kind of hard to find the place but once you drive around the development you will need to look for a sign for heliport.

The whole experience from start to finish was flawless. An active volcano spewing lava, countless waterfalls cascading hundreds of feet into deep valleys of sheer rock with insane vertical drops, and enormous Volcano mountains are some of the highlights. Worth every penny. Epic. Once in a Lifetime for very few lucky people - vacation highlight. Lifetime memories.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
