DISCOVER THE BIG ISLAND
Discover both the Big Island's beauty and its volcanic fury. Take a volcano tour to the most geologically active environment on earth, the famous Kilauea volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983. View lava flows and black sand beaches.
Experience all the impressive spectacle of Madame Pele's lava and volcanic badlands, then explore the lush rainforests of the Hamakua Coast. You'll never forget landing at Laupahoehoe Nui, near the 1,200-foot waterfall, on the Kohala Coast—a Blue Hawaiian exclusive.

Big Island Helicopter Tour Features
World’s Best Helicopter Thrill
The towering sea cliffs open into the dramatically deep and meandering valleys of the Kohala Mountains. Beautiful waterfalls cascade thousands of feet into the rainforest below and remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. This is the perfect finish to the ultimate Big Island adventure. This tour was voted #1 by The Travel Channel as the “World’s Best Helicopter Thrill”. Tour routes and sights visited may vary according to wind and weather conditions. Volcanic activity varies hourly.
Talented Flight Crews
Relax in the air as our experienced and talented pilots take you to see the many wondrous sights this island has to offer. With noise-canceling headphones to block out the background sound of the helicopter, your pilot will narrate the entire experience so you can learn all about the incredible views that you will see, all in safety and comfort. Coupled with the modern helicopter you will be flying in, it makes for the perfect experience for new fliers and old.
Unmatched Perspectives
The Big Island has countless amazing sights and locations that can’t be easily accessed from the ground. Normally, there would be no way to enjoy these spots, but by taking to the air and soaring above them, you can grab the rare chance to see the little-known hideouts and stunning locations that this beautiful island has in abundance. The large windows not only offer great personal views but also plenty of chances to take photographs so you can return home with the many memories you’ll make in tow to show to your friends and family.

Description
Spectacular doesnʻt even get close to the beautiful sights you will encounter on this tour. We circle almost the entire island of Hawaii, starting from Waikoloa and heading north around Kohala coast, seeing a 1200ʻ waterfall (and land nearby if you choose that option).
We continue the route, seeing the lush rainforests of Hamakua and the beautiful coastline of Hilo before heading back around to see one of the world's most active Volcanoes at Kilauea. We over-fly around Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, witnessing the amazing lava flows of the past, including seeing a new black sand beach that was created during this last eruption.
We then wrap around the edge of Mauna Loa as we fly back to Waikoloa, an amazing 1-hour 45 minute tour.
