DISCOVER THE BIG ISLAND
Discover both the Big Island's beauty and volcanic fury. This magnificent island was forged out of the ocean by millenia of fire that both grew the island and helped life to thrive upon it. 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 down and into the rainforest below where 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”.

Unmatched Perspectives
The Big Island has countless amazing sights and locations that can’t be easily accessed from the ground.

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 1200’ 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. Tour routes and sites visited may vary according to wind and weather conditions. Volcanic activity varies hourly.
