We did the Volcano Kohala Landing tour and it was not as advertised! We specifically chose this helicopter company because they advertise landing on the volcano "unlike any other air adventure" and all of the photos on their site insinuate that you will be closer to the active sites however you do not actually land on the volcano but you land on the plush jungle side near the ocean. On top of that, a couple that was also on the tour with us had their lunches packed for them specifically to picnic at the landing. We were unaware of the option of having our lunches packed at all (either through the company or that we could bring our own). When we landed, they had a nice picnic spread and we were just standing there, watching and waiting for them to finish. The pilot even said, "that's not for y'all"!! Furthermore, we paid extra for window seating but were not notified that they would be backwards! I DO NOT recommend this tour nor this tour company. Go with Blue Helicopters that cost less, has the same tour without the landing, have larger windows for viewing and have no riders that ride backwards! We used that company last time on a different island and we will continue to use Blue Helicopters in the future, NOT Paradise Copters!
