- Special Notes:
While we do our very best to view the active volcano during every tour, mother nature is in charge! In this way, Rainbow Helicopters cannot guarantee their guests will be able to view the volcano, mostly due to the rapidly changing weather climate and volcanic activity. There are no refunds, however, in the event that lava viewing isn't possible, Rainbow Helicopters is able to offer extraordinary alternate sites, such as the vast waterfalls, rainforests, and other volcanic craters around the Big Island.
