Helicoptor tours
 
Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good helicopter company to fly over the volcanos with? There seem to be a couple to choose from.

Thanks,
Erica

Where? Hawaii??

If you're talking about Hawaii, fly with Blue Hawaiian.

They're the most professional, the safest, and were recently voted the top company on the Travel Channel.

And they're a blast to fly with...

Yes, Big Island flying out of Hilo.

We looked at Blue Hawaiian. Thanks for the recommendation!

Is there a specific time of day that's best for the flight? Morning vs afternoon?

Thanks,
Erica

I would suggest morning...

First of all, morning light is spectacular...and second, I believe the pilots will tell you that you have a better chance for good weather.

Plus...it leaves the rest of your day to lounge...
