went there a couple years ago. I remember the staff being very attentive and welcoming. We took a tour around the island, in which we received explanations about various things in the island, such as natural matters. I recommend going to the toilet before the flight. We also had a stop somewhere in the northern part of the island for lunch. The views you get to see are unique and can only be experienced through a helicopter ride. Some notable mentions are the city of Hilo, the forested areas of the north and the rocky, black beach in the south where the island continues to grow- you even get to see red hot magma blasting from inside the earth!
