We took the sunset trip, and our pilot Wade did a great job of showing us much of the island. we were particularly interested in the Volcanoes, and he did a great job of framing those for us in spite of the clouds. Also, great views of waterfalls on North and east side.

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Captain Wade as our pilot on our Circle Island Tour. What a great experience! Wade made us very comfortable from the moment he met us in the boarding lounge, to the pre-flight safety instructions and right through until we landed. There were just the 3 of us in the plane. Because they have a pressurized cabin, we were able to climb to over 15,000 ft allowing us some one of a kind, incredible views of the tops of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea and then down the other side to see the valleys and waterfalls before following the coast back to the airport. I was debating between a helicopter and the plane tour and I as so glad we choose Big Island Air. It was a wonderful trip I am sure we will never forget!

Our pilots were great. They were very charming and knowledgeable about the area. The plane was pressurized and so we got to fly over the top of the volcanoes. The island from the air is so amazingly beautiful. It was a fantastic experience. It's well worth the money. I would highly recommend it,
