Here unfortunately we didn't spend enough time and left again after two rotations. It took us 45 minutes to reach the volcanoes national park with the Kilauea volcanoe and its craters. Whilst both destinations are very interesting and great to watch from a helicopter, the way there is long without anything interesting to see. We highly recommend this company if you are looking for a thrilling view of the islands of Hawaii.We took the long tour, taking almost 2 hours and covering the vulcanoes national park in the western part of the island as well as the Waipi'o Valley in the north as highlights. Both pilots called us by name throughout our flights, and both ensured that everyone on the helicopter had clear views of everything they pointed out. Both tours were very well organized, with thorough safety briefings. By the time we returned, staff had made arrangements to refund the difference in cost between the tour we booked and the one we ended up taking. Ian also was knowledgeable and entertaining, and ensured that we were comfortable about a little bit of turbulence that we experienced. Our pilot, Ian, gave us a fantastic tour, with stunning scenery that was totally different from our previous tour. Our tour companions agreed with us that the shorter tour would be fine, and it did not disappoint. The staff was upfront about the situation, and offered us several options. We had booked the longer tour, but unfortunately the weather in Hilo did not co-operate, and we were unable to fly to that side of the island, missing the volcano. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining, and showed us spectacular scenery. We have just returned from the second of two tours with Sunshine Helicopters.
