Amazing trip around the crater. Was able to see vents, vog and lava! Our pilot was nice and informative. I think his name was Michael

Ethan was our pilot. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and most importantly experienced in flying. He was amazing and definitely made the trip memorable! The views are amazing, you can see the lava rock fields from 2018 and 2014 and we were able to see magma bubbling in one of the domes. Great experience and highly recommend.

The day we were to do this tour, the weather had shifted. We were given the choice to take a different route or get a full refund. We all decided to do the alternative route. It was beautiful, breath taking and very informative. We really enjoyed our tour and did get to see one volcano from the sky. We were very satisfied with this trip and highly recommend it!!

Sights that you can see, only from above. The sights where awesome. Our pilot was very knowledgeable & the things that he narrated where very interesting. The experience was definitely worth the price of admission.

The whole experience was awesome. The ground crew and pilot made us feel like family. This was well worth every penny.

Amazing crater views that you can only experience when you are in a helicopter. Our pilot Wesley was amazing. He literally chased a rainbow for us and our chopper was under the rainbow, and he played “Somewhere over the rainbow” to make our experience even more memorable!

Captain Wesley gave my family an experience to remember! he was fun, informative, and ensured all on board were able to see each sight. We saw active lava, volcanoes, lava flow, and heard all about the history of each flow. Wesley answered all questions and even took requests on the music to accompany our explorations. We had a safe and easy take off and landing, my 9 & 10 year old sons were nervous (almost refusing to go) and during the trip they were all smiles - afterward they said they would go again!
