Not sure but assume if weather is good and faa is ok with it u should be able to do a fly over

you should try to book at least a week ahead of time, but remember all is dependent on weather conditions, volcanic conditions.

I like to compare the two aircrafts to rental cars. The A-star is going to be your compact car, takes 5 people and has bench seats. The Eco-star feels more like an SUV, takes 6-7 people and has 1st class seats + more windows to view out of. I like to fly Eco when I get the chance.

Aloha Hayley, The current lava activity changes by the hour, and is the remarkable act of mother nature. Our pilots do their best to search out any activity while providing information on the history of the Kilauea Volcano, and the Pu’u O’o Vent. Volcanic activity is ever changing, and can be in the form of a skylight, fresh orange/red surface flow, to silver cooling flow, to a darker black cooled flow. Some of these flows can date back to the 1800’s or later. That’s the beauty of this tour, it’s not only a hunt for lava but an aerial view of how the islands of Hawai’i were formed. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters will also issue a full refund if weather elements restrict our ability to fly. Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) have not presently restricted our regular routes of flight, but if restricted to the point we cannot operate a tour, a full refund will be issued.

Aloha, Our tours of Big Island continue to showcase the beauty and majesty of the Volcanoes National Park and the Waterfalls of the Kohala. Conditions within the National Park change hourly, and our Pilots always endeavor to provide the best viewing aspects which showcase the Kilauea eruption. The FAA continuously institutes and updates Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) as volcanic activity changes. These airspace restrictions require all flights to maintain a safe distance laterally and vertically due to the unpredictability of force, and the magnitude that lava can burst from the surface. Blue Hawaiian is also very sensitive to the current situation in Leilani Estates. Unlike a surface break which dispenses lava in the controlled viewing environment of the Volcanoes National Park, this current eruption is occurring in the neighborhood streets of our family and friends. First responders, property destruction, and loss of livelihood within the local community is not something we feel is appropriate to showcase on our tour.

Hi, you need to call Blue Hawaiian Helicopters direct if you want to book a tour, but be mindful that helicopter tours especially to volcano will be dependent on the weather. Best to reach them one week before you come.

Aloha, Blue Hawaiian is proud to offer complimentary shuttle service to and from the Four Seasons Hualalai for flights departing from our private Waikoloa Heliport.

I would speak directly to the booking agent and get confirmation with the refund policies are.

We did not do the waterfall landing but I’m sure you can talk to them and find out as they are very professional and want you to have the best experience.

I know there are flights (on planes) from Honolulu to the Big Island. Blue Hawaiian is about 25 minutes from the Kona airport, which means you may have to rent a car to get to their location. You may want to call and see what they suggest, but taking a plane, renting a car, and taking the helicopter tour will be a pricey adventure! Hope this helps!
