Outstanding helicopter tour on the BIG ISLAND

Garrett_S, Jul 2022

We unfortunately could not do the tour around the island due to an abrupt hurricane warning that came through on the day of our tour. But the "TEAM" called and offered us a KONA side alternative tour that was absolutely safe and very enjoyable. Tyler the Helicopter driver couldn't have been more gracious and also very knowledgeable about the south coast of HI. His is driving of the chopper was smooth, easy and relaxing. Kylie, the receptionist was also very gracious and kind and she was the one that offered us this alternative option. So all in all an excellent experience and my family and I would recommend and use this company again and again.

Once in a lifetime experience
