Kind, knowledgeable, patient staff. Arrive eaely for weigh in. You can take 1 plaatic water bottle and camera/phone/go pro per person. Complementary lockers provided. Kai was our pilot. He was amazing! Yes, pay the extra for the waterfall landing. Will not disappoint. The pilot will help you with photos at landing site. Soak it all in! Look at everything! The price is well worth it.

Heidi_B

It was amazing- being able to land next to a waterfall. Memorable indeed! Our pilot was incredible and very helpful.

ChrisCampbell

Our pilot (Shane) was technically proficient and made us feel safe and comfortable so that we could really enjoy the ride and take in all the unbelievable views! We saw things we had never seen and were amazed by them. Then the exclusive landing by a waterfall in the tropical rain forest by the coastline was breathtaking. Such diverse natural beauty blew our minds. We loved this tour and remain amazed by the sights we saw. The tour of a lifetime!!

My husband & I booked this for our 10 year anniversary trip. It truly was spectacular in every way! Our pilot. Kaj, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. The views were stunning and he made sure to circle around so that passengers on both sides could see the major sites we flew over. The exclusive landing at the 1,200 ft waterfall was absolutely breathtaking and surreal. We took a selfie and when we looked at it, it looks like we’re photoshopped into a screen saver picture haha! Our pilot, Kaj, offered to take our pictures on our phone and they look professional! He certainly knew what he was doing with a camera phone ;-) But seriously, my husband & I do NOT regret splurging on the Big Island Spectacular because it truly was an unforgettable and amazing experience!

Charged $2,000 and then and additional $400 for being 4 pounds over the weight limit. All other companies do a combined weight of 400 pounds for 2 people. Oh, and then we boarded the heli, our pilot told us the flight time would be cut in half. But the office could not give any details of any refund. Especially since I booked through Viator. We did heli flights on every island in Hawaii, but this was the worst communication and organization. Only plus was landing at the waterfall.

Very Good and highly recommended. Take something for nausea . I’m glad they had barf bags . Kai was nice and made sure that all angles were covered for picture taking . We also had a bonus whale and dolphin watching !

My husband and I had the BEST time flying with Greg! It was an incredible experience landing at water falls. Greg was really informative and I don't know who did the music for flight, but it was the bomb! Thanks, Leo and Carolyn

Great flight and landing at the waterfall with our pilot, Koji. We did the Big Island Experience. Absolutely the best time we’ve had on a vacation. Everything was beautiful. Koji’s music playlist included Enya… and the Mission Impossible theme at takeoff. We saw volcanos, waterfalls, rainforest, savanna, some sort of Mars training facility ?!? and, of course, the ocean. Take time to thank Koji as he’s a wealth of knowledge for your flights. Thanks again, guys for a great time!
