Tour 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there tour restrictions?

The FFA requires us to discreetly weigh guests and their luggage before each flight. Guests who weigh over 250 pounds will need to purchase an additional seat (at 50% of the regular ticket price)
Can I take videos while we are on the tour?

We ask that you not film during the flight. A high-definition video recording is made of your flight may be purchased after your tour.
Is this tour safe?

Quality has been our main focus from the start and our unwavering dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed. We’ve been honored with numerous industry awards and recognitions, and are the only company in Hawaii to receive the Federal Aviation Administration's “Certificate of Excellence - Diamond Award,” year after year since 1997.
What is your weather policy?

Weather in Hawaii is unlike weather in other parts of the world. We have isolated, passing showers over our windward side of each island throughout the entire day. Weather forecasters usually give a daily report of rain; this is normal Hawaii weather—what creates our beautiful waterfalls and rainbows—and should not adversely affect your tour. Our pilots, who have access to the latest updates on the local weather conditions, make all flight decisions. BHH pilots use the latest technology to ensure a safe and beautiful tour. If we have to cancel your tour due to weather, we will only do so on the day of the tour, typically very near to your flight time when the forecast is most accurate. If that happens we would love to reschedule your flight, but if you are unable to there is absolutely no penalty to you and you will receive a 100% refund.
Are we going to see lava?

The location and magnitude of lava activity is ever changing. The only chance of seeing flowing lava is on the Big Island of Hawaii during the portion of your tour that is over Volcanoes National Park. Not all Big Island tours overfly the park. Even if your tour does overfly the park, sight of lava cannot be guaranteed. Routes and times vary with wind and weather, and volcanic activity changes hourly.
