Seeing the Big Island and views that would otherwise be inaccessible was an experience we will never forget! Our pilot Olsen was engaging and highly competent.

5 stars all the way! Easy online reservation and payment process, with timely messages and phone calls from Savannah to make sure we (4 adults) were informed and ready for our trip. The check in was smooth, informative and quick. Our pilot Alex was friendly and professional, explaining safety, headset communication, our flight plan etc before lift off, then keeping us informed of our location and all the sights below. The flight was smooth, weather was clear, scenery in the valleys and the waterfalls was beautiful. The views along the coastline allowed us to see humpback whales! What a great experience! We would highly recommend Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours.
