"Great for parents and older kids"
If you've never done a heli tour, this is a top choice! Blue Hawaiian tours can be paid for outright or gotten via discount after watching a timeshare spiel while on the island. The tours take you over and around Volcanoes National Park, where there is still an active volcano. You will be flown by a couple of waterfalls that are not accessible by the public--though not as spectacular as those you'd see on Kauai. After the trip, you'll receive a personalized video of your flight! I suggest this for families with older kids since the seating in the helicopter is not very accessible for younger kids--they'd have a hard time seeing out. Oh, and this is not for the motion sick, either!

"So much fun!"
This was a great experience! We made a day out of this side of the island. We were able to see hidden waterfalls, flowing lava, and erupting volcanoes! The best part of this trip was seeing the lave flow into the water and watching the steam come up off the water. The pilot was very knowledgable and had tons of great stories. We got lucky and were able to sit in the front of the helicopter. I thank god that we did because all of a sudden the helicopter started to smell funny...well come to find out someone in the back did not sit well with flying ang her lunch made a return performance. So this leads me to my advise on this activity...eat after your flight not before :)
I enjoyed with ride with my Husband and 10 year old little brother they both got a kick out it. I was not so concerned if my bother would be OK with the ride the part that needed supervision was wlaking up to the helicopter, you had to follow specific rules for safety.

"Great if you love air travel!"
Touring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is possible by car, by foot, and by air. No doubt you’ll see a few helicopters flying overhead as you’re driving around. Some visitors swear these mechanical birds offer the best (albeit expensive) sightseeing. They fly directly to the most active areas, over pools of bubbling lava and streams of red-hot flows—places impossible to reach by hiking, biking, or driving. Some pilots dip so low to the ground, your face becomes flushed with the heat. Try to schedule a flight as early as possible. Late afternoon trips often are plagued with fog and soot that prohibit optimum visibility.
