We had such an amazing experience. Sam is a great pilot, explaining in detail about geographical background about lava and volcanoes. We learned so much about different climate zones in Hawaii, fauna and flora of this uniquely beautiful island.

Great view from anywhere in helicopter. Pilot Sammy was great and very informative. She went out of her way to make sure all on board could see the lava and water falls.
Safe and organized flight. Beautiful view.

Very organized trip. Pilot Sam is so knowledgeable and shares the island’s beautiful views with us. Cookie and Stephanie are so helpful and made sure we were safe and enjoyed our trip. We had great views of volcano lavas and coastal scenery. My 75 yo father, 16 yo daughter, and I really enjoyed this flight. We even skipped the visit to the volcano park because we had seen basically everything in the flight and much more than expected. Thank you.

The experience was amazing and unforgettable! Check in was easy and quick. The helicopter itself was modern, clean, and felt very safe. The pilot was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were all comfortable. She even flew around cloud cover to be extra safe and did multiple spins hovering above the volcanoes, waterfalls, etc. Highly recommended!
Great flight!

The all women team at Safari helicopters were terrific. Kudos to them. So pleasing, helpful and nice. The pilot was fantastic. This was our first time on a helicopter and she made us feel comfortable right from the start. She was a good tour guide and shared amazing facts. Overall it was a great experience.

Excellent trip! Worth every penny! Sam was an excellent pilot and tour guide! She asked questions and took time to ensure we all got to see and get the pics we wanted. She also told us about a local beach where we would likely see turtles, and later we did. Great experience from beginning to end.
Memories for a lifetime!

Kyle was our pilot and his narration and Aloha spirit made this flight even more amazing! I was worried about myself and my oldest child being nauseous as we both can get motion sick occasionally but Kyle's smooth flying made it perfect. My son even talked about becoming an helicopter pilot after. We were lucky that the crater had lava. Thank you, Kyle!
Amazing experience , would recommend it to everyone

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
