About this activity

Tour the most geologically active environment on earth, with emphasis on the most current areas of volcanic activity and black sand beaches, from the comfort and safety of your million dollar aircraft.

(see tour options: ECO-Star & A-Star)

ECO-Star: Individual First-Class seats, 23% more interior space, over 60 sq. ft. of viewing glass, high-tech Fenestron instead of tail rotor for greatly increased smoothness, raised "theater-style" platform in the rear, a more powerful yet more fuel-efficient engine that delivers fast flight and thus more sightseeing value.

A-Star: The industry- standard A-Star offers a great flight in a compact cabin, with bench-style seating and good visibility through over 50 sq. ft. of viewing glass. Most important, our A-Stars are flown by Blue Hawaiian's pilots and maintained by Blue Hawaiian's technicians, the best in the business.

Tour departs from Hilo Heliport.

This tour started a little ordinarily as we were one of six groups flying at our time slot. We were asked to stand in line in the sun as they organised the load by weight, and it must has been twenty minutes as we were the last loaded. It wouldn't be too hard, I'm sure, to erect a temporary shelter and maybe some plastic chairs ? Anyway, leaving that aside, the pilot was nice and informative we saw the volcano and surrounding devastated areas and went back over waterfalls and the harbour. Having done the ground tour to Kilauea crater in the morning, where we couldn't see any lava, just a hole in the ground and smoke from about 400 metres , it was great to see the red lava as it moved down the hillside, just as I had imagined it. This and the turtles were why we came from Oz.
