The whole flight, I love to fly. Didn't get to see much lava but that is a hit and miss deal. Can't just turn it on when we want to see the flow.

Our pilot Wesley, was excellent, both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were advised clouds might affect visibility as weather was poor and so view might be limited did we wish to rearrange or cancel with refund however we went for it and the clouds cleared as we approached the volcano. The views were breathtaking and commentary excellent. Many thanks Wesley.

Lava Fields

The helicopter tour was a good tour of the lava fields and one active volcano. Not so much the others. If you want to see waterfalls and ocean cliffs, don’t choose this one.

Volcanoes and waterfalls

Volcanoes and waterfalls - incredible views that you simply cannot see or appreciate from the ground. A smooth ride and a little history of the various eruptions on the island over the years.

Very weather dependent in a place that rains a lot
Gerald_M
, Jun 2022
Our first flight got cancelled due to rain & clouds; were able to try afternoon one but although rain had stopped, still cloudy so we were warned we won't see the volcano as helicopters can't fly below clouds. Extremely disappointing. We were offered a refund, but half the reason to do this was the helicopter ride so we went. That was a mistake, made worse in that seat #6 (behind pilot, seated by passenger weights) sees nothing but ocean the whole time the guide is talking on the way toward the volcano, and pilot didn't repeat his tour on the way back. Felt like seat 6 should get a discount. Guide wasn't terrific like all the others either. Wasted a full day & money.
