Big Island of Hawaii Helicopter Tour | Kailauea Volcano, Waterfalls, Hilo | Paradise Helicopters
We took a helicopter tour using Paradise Helicopters based out of the Hilo Airport on the Big Island of Hawaii.
We visited the current activity from the Kilauea Volcano, the rainforests of Puna, and the waterfalls of North Hilo! We went about 5 months after the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano and hoped to see some active lava flows, however the eruptions and flows had stopped. We were still able to see aftermath of the eruption and the destruction and devastation it caused. It was surreal to see the effects of this eruption.
We took the doors off tour option which gave us an unobstructed view of everything we were looking at. I definitely recommend this option if you are trying to decide which you would like to do, although be careful because my mom did lose her phone over the lava fields! Also, make sure your hair is secured TIGHTLY. My hair-tie came out during the flight and it took me about 30 minutes to come out the mess that was my hair.
The flight was 45 minutes and took off out of Hilo Airport.
Overall, we enjoyed our trip and got to experience and see some really cool things that we would never get to see from the ground!

Golf and travel writer Ted McIntyre's thrilling tour of Oahu's fabled North Shore aboard Paradise Helicopters.

Paradise Helicopters Tour - Hilo - Hawaii
Alex and I did the Paradise Helicopter Tour - Lava + Jungle. It was mindblowing and an incredible experience. I have decided that the best way to make a #bucketlist is to check off boxes just after you make them. And flying above an active #volcano is a check I didn't know I needed. If you end up on the #bigisland you HAVE to check out this tour. And ask for Captain Keith. He was HILLARIOUS! #colex #hilo #helicoptertour #lavafields #gochasingwaterfalls #whirlymajiger #headintheclouds

Customer Reviews
Absolutely worth every penny. Emery was a great pilot and tour guide. Can't wait for our next visit to do another part of the islands
I am continually impressed with the professionalism of Blue Hawaiian. Your operations set the standard for helicopter tours for safety and precision. Well done.
Erik and the staff were fantastic and the tour was AMAZING!!! Extraordinary way to see the island. I highly recommend it. I wanted to go right back up.

You'll be a star, or at least fly like one. When you choose Blue, you're choosing Hollywood's first-call helicopter tour company for blockbuster aerial photography. In addition to the upcoming mega-releases Battleship and Pirates of the Caribbean IV, our pilots have flown aerial photography for Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Tropic Thunder, Pirates of the Caribbean III, Crimson Tide, George of the Jungle, Honeymoon in Vegas, and numerous other major motion pictures, not to mention television shoots for MTV, The Food Channel, National Geographic, the Weather Channel, Wheel of Fortune and more. If these top professionals trust Blue Hawaiian with their multi-million dollar productions, perhaps Hollywood knows something you should know?
Living Aloha, every day. All of us in Hawaii have a responsibility to uphold the islands' proud tradition of hospitality. Years ago, the late cultural pioneer George Kanahele (author of Ku Kanaka: Stand Tall) showed us the incredible potential of using our helicopters as flying classrooms. We took that mission very seriously and since then have invested in Hawaiiana education for all of our employees. Our pilots offer our guests insightful and accurate information about Hawaiian culture, flora and fauna, history, geology and place names. Our guests are able to ask their pilot questions through our proprietary two-way in-flight communication system, which enhances their involvement, and when they share their knowledge with their friends and family upon returning home, the outreach extends. It's an honor to do our part to help preserve Hawaii's precious native culture.
You don't have to take our word for it. Only Blue gives you the confidence of consistent and repeated endorsements and awards from the most important international, national, and local organizations in the travel industry: National Geographic Magazine, Frommer's Hawaii, The Travel Channel; the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, the Tour Operators Program of Safety, Helicopters Association International, and more. Blue Hawaiian is also the local Hawaii favorite, regularly voted the #1 Air Tour by the local readers of Hawaii Tribune-Herald, West Hawaii Today, North Hawaii News, Kauai People and MidWeek Kauai, and The Maui News.
