First of all, I want to clarify that this low review is not a quite reflection of the company or its employees. They seemed to do a good job, though we weren't fully informed about our seating arrangements inside the helicopter, which did matter to some extent. Instead, this review focuses on the claim that "taking a helicopter is a unique experience," which I found to be utterly misleading. Here's our experience: After hearing so much about helicopter tours, we decided to check with our hotel's activity desk. After gathering information, we felt it was overpriced, so we initially opted for a dinner cruise at $500+ for two people. However, we were persuaded to switch to the helicopter tour since it was touted as "a unique experience." The staff at Blue Hawaiian Activity was "nice enough" to offer us an "exceptional" deal of $800+ for the two "last seats," claiming that everything else was booked. To be honest, I felt deceived, as it wasn't made clear how much the seating arrangements mattered. The front seats were much better than the rear, and the left side offered better island views than the right, where we were seated. Was there anything special about the flight? Any exceptional experience? Absolutely not! I'd rate it a 2 out of 10. I understand that experiences are subjective, and maybe you're someone who doesn't mind spending a large sum of money. But if you're on a limited budget and value your money, here's my best advice: You're going to spend roughly $900 for something that's not breathtaking. Sure, you don't take helicopter tours often, but is it worth paying so much for? No! Let me give you an example: Imagine being told to pay $1,000 to taste a "very special" wine, only to find that it tastes slightly better than your regular $20+ bottle from Target. Would you do it? If you have $900 to spend, you could rent a convertible for a day or two, enjoy some great meals, have a few drinks, and/or arrange a new whole trip to Las vegas! Ultimately, I acknowledge that experiences are subjective. However, one thing is certain: this event is highly overpriced. It's not worth the cost, and the overwhelming advertisements are just propaganda pushing this "unique experience." Sorry, Blue Hawaiian Activity, but my honest opinion is that you deceived us into buying this costly tour that wasn't worth it. Now we have our "unique experience": Some experiences are expensive if you don't do your research! I hope that this review helps couples who feel pressured into choosing this so-called "unique and breathtaking" experience!

Great experience and great folks!

Amazing experience. Ethan is a great pilot and his narration about the area was so informative. Absolutely recommend.

Great experience! Ethan really had a lot of information about the whole region and volcanic activity. Because there was no lava flow he took us further north to show us the waterfalls. They offered us to reschedule because of the weather, but we were happy that we still did the trip as we didn't have a lot of time on the Island.

Circle of Fire flight was an amazing experience. Ethan was a wealth builder f information in all aspects- well worth spending the money for the front seat upgrade for both of us

Circle of Fire tour with Wesley. Wonderful Sights and was able to get great photos. Wesley was very entertaining and we had a smooth ride. Highly recommend. Unfortunately due to low cloud cover and rain we couldn't go over the mouth of the volcano 🌋 but it's better to be safe. ☺️☺️
