It is mother nature, so the weather can change at any moment. We didn't get to fly over the active Lava flow, but our pilot, Sam, was extraordinary at showing us so much more to make up for it. We saw some of the most beautiful things, and DID fly over the Rim of a Volcano that was still steaming, saw waterfalls and the dried Lava flow from the 2018 that took 700 homes, but added 900 acres to the island. (no lives lost in the eruption). Totally would recommend this tour.

Everyone was very nice and helpful, even though one of our party couldn't participate in the helicopter ride, because of the helicopter being over the weight limit. But 2 people in our party had been on a helicopter before so one of them stayed behind, the other 4 people had never been on a helicopter before and everybody enjoyed themselves.

Kam is a very professional and knowledgeable pilot. She lets you know when it might be bumpy. She goes around all sites twice to allow passengers to see from both sides of the helicopter. She knows all about the island, the volcanoes genesis, and will answer all your questions. One thing you need to know: you will be seated depending on your weight in order to balance the aircraft. There are 2 seats in the back in the middle where you'll have limited view. We were very lucky to be seated in front, in a very tight seat though. All on all a wonderful experience.
