The ground crew that welcomed us , Brittanny & Khristlyne, were so fun and brought all the good vibes to get us excited for our trip, our pilot was Herbert who was super chill, made us feel safe and gave us a great commentary throughout the flight!

I can't recommend this tour more!!! This will give you the best views of the island while learning history and trivia as well. Tianna was an awesome pilot and made sure we were comfortable, safe, and that we saw everything. So much fun!!!

We took our grandsons on the tour and it was their favorite thing we did in Hawaii and we did lots of excursions! Our pilot, Travis was the best, he was fun and taught us things we didn't know. Land crew was great and so nice and helpful. Would highly recommend this tour.

What an experience. The tour was fantastic. Our pilot Josh was amazing and so was trip in the helicopter. The sights that one could see in one hour is beyond words. We flew over areas we had seen before on our own but saw many reas of the island that one can only see with a helicopter as those were inaccessible by car or foot. For instance the water falls etc.

I've always wanted to try a helicopter flight, I would say, do it, not as as scary as you think it would be. I felt safe and secure the whole time. the sights were amazing, the pilot is informative.
