Views of volcano, waterfalls, valleys and coastline were amazing. Pilot was knowledgeable and very friendly.
Must do event
John_C, Jan 2023
Its hard to express what was the most exciting part. They range from the lava flows, to the forests, to the new crops(coffee-nuts-fruit), the snow on the high peaks, cattle ranches, the wild North Shore, the wild deep canyons to the break from forest to desert. but the high lite of the trip was the volcano crater.
Beautiful tour
Amy_R, Aug 2021
What a great way to see the island! The staff was all very friendly and knowledgable. We loved the valleys and seeing the volcano caldera the most! Such a beautiful island with so many different landscapes to see. This tour really captured all of them!
