Very nice excursion booked directly. We were visiting on a cruise so liked the options for times and that the timing sllowed us to do more than one thing in town that day.

Justin_K

Tyler was a fantastic tour guide. We chanced on perfect weather and got to get inside some valleys that aren't available most days. Worth the spend for a fantastic memory and a great view of the island.

Lisa_D

We looked down into the steaming caldera of Kilauea, flew over the lava fields, enjoyed the beautiful coastline and looked down on dozens of mother whales with their calves as we flew over the ocean. Our pilot was a great guide, explaining everything we were seeing and including both the scientific and the mythological explanations. A really memorable and fantastic tour.

Marianne_K

Realizing how big the island truly is. I did not understand how big the lava flows were until this tour. Great Pilot and company, always communicating with us. They kept us very safe. Loved it and would do it again.

We had such a fantastic time exploring the Island from above! Our pilot Conner shared so much information about this sacred place. The side of the island with waterfalls is incredible! My son thanked me for picking the tour with the closed cabin, which worked out well when we flew around some precip. Treat yourself to this fantastic experience! Stay well and adventurous. ~ O&V😊
