The helicopter tour over Hawaii with pilot Lucian was simply fantastic! Lucian explained everything very professionally and with passion. The views of volcanoes, waterfalls and beaches were breathtaking. He made sure we had the best photo opportunities and always felt safe. An absolute recommendation!
