“Day trip through the volcano national park was excellent, Hugh our guide was clearly enthusiastic about his job. Was slightly disappointed to not be able to walk through the lava tube, this has been closed for over a year and this should have been noted on the site. Would like to see a tour that does not involve funneling tourists to nut farms, coffee farms, chocolate factories etc. Helicopter part was actually very uncomfortable, with myself being forced up against the door and one of the other tourists partially sitting on my lap in the front. Husband was very comfortable in the back as only two of them were sitting…”

“A fantastic trip from start to finish. Dexter, our guide was very informative and provided loads of information about the island, customs and tradition as well as living on Big Island today.

“Jeff was a great pilot, very friendly and personable. We enjoyed talking to him and we enjoyed the views along the coastline. Beautiful..! Our only disappointment was that we did not fly very far inland, thus we did not go over any of the craters or see what might have been a active volcano. The cloud cover on the day of our flight prevented that, and that is understandable. But, it would have been appreciated to have been told that on the ground before we took off, so that we could decide if we still wanted to take this flight. Flying over the craters was a big part of why…”
