General Inter-Island Tour Restrictions
Due to stringent airline requirements there is a NO CANCELLATION/NO REFUND policy for this tour. This includes name and date changes.
For all island flights or day trips, the NAME ON TICKET MUST APPEAR AS IT IS ON PICTURE ID (license or passport). The airline will deny boarding if the passenger's legal name, as shown on their valid, government-issued ID, does NOT match the name on their E-Ticket. IF A PASSENGER IS DENIED BOARDING, THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS. All passengers MUST present government issued photo ID for airline check-in. International travelers must bring a valid passport for airport security check-in.
Free children (0-23 months) are required to ride in the lap of an adult.
Helicopter Flight Restrictions
All passengers will be weighed during check-in at the heliport to ensure the accurate aircraft weight and balance.
Passengers over 240 pounds will be allotted 2 seats and will be responsible for the additional cost of 50% for a second seat. If this fee was not collected at the time of the reservation, it will be collected at check-in.
No scuba diving 24 hours before or after going on this tour.
Mobile tablet devices are not allowed on board due to size. Go Pros are welcome as hand-held devices, but no attachments/accessories are allowed.
In the event Blue Hawaiian must cancel the helicopter tour for any reason, guests will be refunded for the helicopter tour portion of their tour price and will be welcomed on an extended sightseeing land tour which includes a drive through Hilo town and a stop at Rainbow Falls.
If guests prefer to discontinue participation in their land tour and remain at the Blue Hawaiian base to stand by for a possible helicopter tour departure later in the day, they will forego their sightseeing land tour and no refund will be available for that portion of tour. If guests wish to return to Honolulu earlier than their scheduled flight, a refund of helicopter portion (only) will be provided, and additional taxi, airline change fees, or other expenses will be the responsibility of the guest. - Special Notes:
Occasionally certain sections of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park will be closed to visitors when Kilauea volcano is emitting high levels of dangerous gas. Volcanic fumes are hazardous. Also, for people with respiratory or heart problems, a visit to the park is not recommended. The route may be modified due to National Park advisories. No guaranteed sighting of active lava flows.
