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.
