RumpunchGirl Posted September 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I need some input to help me decide which company book for a Volcano Helicopter Tour. There are 4 of us and we would really like to do one of the 50 min. tours which also include viewing waterfalls. It seems the prices range between $200 - $250. We are on the POA and they offer the Circle of Fire excusion. But when you read the discription online it's not clear if you would fly over waterfalls. I would really like to here about your particular experiences with this kind of tour. Thanks! Teri :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
born2cruize Posted September 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2008 In December 2006 we did the ship sponsored flight with Blue Hawaiian. After it's stop in Hilo for re-fueling we went along the north coast and saw several waterfalls we also followed a valley with several waterfalls in them. You don't mention when you are going as the time of the year will determine how spectatulate the waterfalls will be. December is the beginning of the wet season and while the falls were interesting their wasn't much water flowing. The link below will take you to my photo web site. Select Hawaii then Kona (PM) and you can view the photos the waterfalls will be the last page or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumpunchGirl Posted September 9, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted September 9, 2008 born2cruize, thanks for the link! Your pics are great. We are going in March and want to do a helicopter out of Hilo. Not sure which company NCL uses now. Thanks so much for your input! Teri:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This next time we are thinking of the Hele tour over Kauai. It was about 45 mins and very cool. But no falls really. I mean a few small ones but. There was a longer ride that took you to both. But this was Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
