Have only done it on Kauai, but this is a great isle to take the tour, seeing that most of the isle is not accessible, othr than by boat or helicopter. Great views of waterfalls, canyons, forest not otherwise seen.

My suggestion is to rent a jeep on the other isles and do some off road if you really want to see all of the isles.

Good Luck

Kauai is the most beautiful island from a helicopter. It was a total waste at Big Island. Just black lava.

It's not a waste when flying over an active volcano! One vote for the Big Island.

I loved the helicopter ride on the Big Island. I thought flying over the volcano was awesome. You can see the smoke coming out of the caldera. Another vote for the Big Island.

I agree with Jolie........the Big Island is a waste of money for the helicopter tour. I took the 2 hr trip, and I'd say 3/4 of it was somewhat boring, just flying over miles and miles of black lava fields. It gets a bit more interesting when you tour along the ocean and up into the canyons, but that was a very small part of the trip.
I think Kauai is much more worthwhile!
