Excellent small company operation! Very kind, attentive ground crew! Even though our original time flight was canceled due to weather (heavy clouds), Katrina made everything possible to reschedule us for another day. Definitely recommend scheduling your flight earlier in your stay on Big Island, so that in case of weather, you can reschedule! The second try was a charm and the weather was perfect!!! Volcano park was even more incredible than we've seen it on foot! Pilot Drew was extremely informative and of course an excellent pilot, the ride was smooth and safe! And experience of a lifetime, for sure!!!

This was my first time in a helicopter, so that was cool, but we also saw some great scenery. Too bad clouds were covering the volcano, but I still was thrilled! Thanks to Drew and his flight crew!
