        Your local pilot is your guide

        For over an hour you'll enjoy the ultimate air tour of Hawai'i.  Our experienced pilots will "talk story" and share the history and mythical lore of Hawai'i along the way. The Big Island is the birthplace of King Kamehameha, and you will want to hear his story and his incredible legacy. His rise to power is ingrained in the local folklore, and you’ll learn why he is so revered in this culture. The natural world is a huge part of Hawai'i legends, and in winter months, you might even be able to spot some whales as you fly past the coastline.

        Description

        The Big Island is home to some of the most stunning waterfalls in the world. Upon departing from Kona International Airport, we whisk you away to explore the seven windward valleys of Kohala.

        We first stop at the windward side of the Kohala Mountains, where we fly along the coastline of Waipio Valley and then move westward to Waimanu Valley. Waimanu can experience annual rainfall of up to 200 inches, fueling over 1500-foot waterfalls, some of the tallest in all of Hawai'i!

        Following the valleys west, we fly over Honopue, Honokea, Honokane Iki, the historic valley of Honokane Nui or Big Valley, and Pololu Valley. We climb and cross over the summit of Kohala, the oldest of the five volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawai'i. This provides us with breathtaking views of all the valleys below.
        Your tour ends with a beautiful coastline flight, providing you with one last chance to take in the stunning scenery of Hawai'i.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        • How Many People Can A Helicopter Hold?

          For this flight, we have a maximum of four passengers.
        • Which Is Better – Doors On Or Doors Off?

          Both options allow for optimal viewing, as each window seat has wide windows extending from the top of your head to your waist. The choice to fly with or without doors depends on your priorities and comfort level. In a closed aircraft, you are shielded from wind exposure, and you will hear music and narration clearly. It is a very serene way of taking in the scenery through the large windows. If you are game for a more visceral experience or photography is important to you, our doors-off adventure is for you. Floor-to-ceiling openings allow you to look straight down into waterfalls and sea caves, and glare from windows in your photos is no factor.
        • What Are The Advantages Of A Helicopter Tour Versus An Airplane Tour?

          Because of their agility and small turning radius, helicopters can fly you right into the heart of Hawai'i’s geological gems, such as the many lush valleys and sprawling canyons, while fixed‐wing aircraft have to circle above. Helicopters allow you a more intimate look at the terrain. Because our pilots can slow down and turn the aircraft around some famous highlights, you can take a more leisurely look and are given enhanced photo opportunities. Also, when was the last time you were in a helicopter?
        • What Will We See On Our Private Helicopter Tour?

          On these magnificent islands, there is much to be discovered by air. Certain of the countless remarkable features have, deservedly, garnered special interest and are most popular for aerial viewing. Weather permitting, our pilots will explore with you all of each island’s most famous geological features as outlined in our tour descriptions. Sometimes, wind and weather conditions necessitate a deviation from the usual tour route. In these instances, our pilots will attempt to show off other spectacular scenery not normally included on the tours, as all islands offer more hidden wonders to please the eye than can possibly be covered on a single flight. We guarantee to showcase spectacular scenery and breathtaking views that are not obtainable by car or trail.
        • LOAD MORE
        • What Is Your Policy With Weather?

          Along with ample sunshine, the islands are also blessed with lots of daily rainfall, which nourishes the lushness and creates the erosive force that continues to shape all the fascinating geology. Most of the island’s waterfalls are sustained only by rainfall, and misty showers often delight passengers with rainbows along the tour. Usually, our typical high cumulus clouds and rain do not diminish the quality of your tour but add to your experience. However, if the pilot determines that prevailing visibility, cloud cover, or wind speeds do not allow for a good air tour or if it is not safe to fly, we will, of course, cancel the flight. Because weather conditions can change dramatically day by day and hour by hour, the pilots do have up until the flight time to decide. Decisions often cannot be made prior to check-in.
        • Can I Talk To The Pilot During The Tour?

          Yes, you can! Except during critical flight stages, such as take‐off and landing, feel free to ask a question, share impressions or comments, and engage with the others onboard. We provide inter‐communication between all occupants of the aircraft as an added bonus.
        • Do People Get Sick? Should I Take Dramamine?

          Although most guests enjoy our flights with no discomfort at all, some guests are prone to motion sickness. If this applies to you, we recommend taking Dramamine or a similar product. As with all medicines, consult with your doctor before use. All flights are sightseeing tours, and our pilots take pride in providing the smoothest, safest, and most enjoyable tours available.
