This is the one to book!

This was an awesome experience. This is the best way to see all the beauty of the big island. Shane was very knowledgeable about the big island. He was willing to ensure that everyone was able to see the sites we were circling. His love and passion for what he does shines through. If you are considering a helicopter ride while on the island, this one is the one to book!
Best way to see all the island has to offer!

We’ve done multiple excursions, on several of the islands, and this was by far the best. Such a great way to see the diverse landscapes of the island, especially spots you wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Our pilot, Matt, was amazing. An extremely skilled pilot and very knowledgeable on the island, he made the tour very enjoyable.
Highlights: seeing lava in the volcano caldera, close up viewing of a 2.4k ft waterfall, and spotting whales along the shore.

My husband was a bit skeptical about going up in a helicopter but I was adamant and he agreed to do it. Now he can't stop talking about how spectacular it was! It truly was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii, and that's saying a lot because we saw a lot! We bought the video so we could re-live it over and over. A big thanks to Shane who was an awesome pilot and guide. He made us feel so comfortable! I highly recommend this excursion!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
