    I highly recommend taking the time to book a helicopter tour with Paradise Helicopter and ask for Matt. We were able to see the waterfalls and even drive over the volcano! I usually get air sick but Matt is such an amazing pilot and it never bothered me.

    The helicopter tour is the best way to see the different climates and scenes of the big island. This is my first helicopter ride and I really enjoyed it. The ground staff explained everything in a clear and humorous fashion which eased some of my fears and made me really look forward to it. The helicopter we were on has HUGE windows even though I was in the middle seat (there is only one middle seat), I can enjoy it very very much on both sides. The pilot is very experienced and knowledgeable. Seeing the boiling lave from above is totally stunning. Looking at the craters made me feel like I was on another planet. The waterfall is amazing. The length of the flight is just about right, I enjoyed every second of it. I would highly recommend it!

    Third time is the charm. We’ve had two previous scheduled but no go flights before. And this time we got an exceptional day with an exceptional pilot. Checkin was friendly and private. Weight is important for balancing the craft but does it need to be public? Here you submit ahead of time and you need to be honest. There is only a platform to step upon. The outcome is obscured. No worries here to stop anyone from getting in the air. And when you do, it’s entirely worthwhile. I had never been in a helicopter; my husband had the experience while in the military. Ever been a bird? This experience was so augmented by Matthew’s, our pilot, expertise. He lifted off and then paused in the air to make sure all of us were comfortable for first time flight. Then we toured over the volcanoes both live and dormant and tremendously long waterfalls. He provided continuous and relevant explanations of what we were seeing. He would pass one side and the other to make sure we all had equal views of the sights. It was wonderful. Do wear dark clothing as my photos have some reflections. No issues. Have shots of a life time of an erupting volcano. Doesn’t happen often in the Northeast.

    We had an amazing time on this helicopter ride. Views were STUNNING and Ryan was an amazing pilot who was calm and collected while also having great, fun stories about growing up on the island. My husband got motion sickness and Ryan couldn’t have been nicer about it - no judgment and did his best to avoid any rough air. I’m deducting one point because I really think it’s unfair to give one person the middle seat for the whole ride. Unfortunately, that person was me. It was impossible to take pictures from there and views were very limited as compared to the other window seat (which I got because my husband offered to switch with me). It doesn’t really seem fair to charge the same for that seat, as it was not the same experience. I honestly think they shouldn’t even ask people to sit there, but if they do it should be sold at a VERY discounted rate (not the $750 per seat we paid). But if they did, we had a few stops where this could have been fixed and people could have been asked to switch. Otherwise amazing experience and would definitely recommend.

    Our pilot was Darren, and he was wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable and a great pilot. He allowed my daughter to ride upfront with him, which gave her the flight of a lifetime! Great way to see the whole island and recommend doing close to the start of the trip if you are unsure where you want to visit. Amazing waterfalls, view of the crater, lava flows to the ocean, and all the microclimates.

    The best thing about our trip to the Big Island was the helicopter ride. The office manager, Rick and Ryan, our pilot, went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. Really enjoyed seeing all parts of the Big Island from the numerous volcanoes, to coffee plantations, to incredible waterfalls, to the coastlines of Hilo and Kona!

    Being picked for co-pilot was a great experience. It was so beautiful to see everything from that view. I did get a little sick feeling towards the end, im glad I didn't eat before we went.
