      Explanation

      If you want to see all the Big Island of Hawaii has to offer, this is how it’s done! Departing from Kona International Airport, you'll head straight to Kīlauea by way of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, Hawai'i's tallest mountains. Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and has been continuously erupting since 1974. Here, we explore the East Rift Zone of Kīlauea, including Kīlauea Crater and Pu’u O’o Vent, and see some of the devastation caused by the recent flow in 2018.

      Then, we fly north up the windward side of the island, passing Hilo town, the wettest town on earth, and the heavenly Hāmākua Coast. Next, we head up north to explore the seven windward valleys of Kohala. Along the windward side of the Kohala Mountains, we will fly the coastline of Waipiʻo Valley and then move westward to Waimanu Valley. Waimanu can experience annual rainfall of up to 200 inches, fueling 1500-foot waterfalls, some of the tallest in all of Hawai'i!

      Following the valleys west, you'll fly over Honopū, Honokea, Honokāne Iki, and the historic valley of Honokāne Nui or Big Valley and Pololū. Your tour concludes with a beautiful coastline flight over pristine blue ocean waters. With so much to see and do, your Big Island Experience will be unforgettable.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      • 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.
      • 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.
      • What Is Your Policy With Weather?

        We fly when it is safe and enjoyable; if the pilot feels that we will not provide a good quality tour, the tour will be canceled. We will re-schedule based on availability or cancel if guest is unable to reschedule.
      • 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 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?
      • Can I Choose My Seat?

        In terms of seating arrangements, our first priority is safety, meaning we seat people in the best spot for the weight and balance of the aircraft. Our next consideration is where passengers would like to sit and what seat will be the best for their experience. We will be happy to accommodate your individual preferences, weight and balance permitting. Most couples like to sit together in the back of the helicopter so they can better share the experience, lean over and see out both sides, and point things out to one another. There is emotional value to sitting together, which for most people is higher than any added viewing value obtained from the front left seat. The open cabin design also allows rear passengers viewing ahead through the cockpit window.
      • What Is The Passenger Weight Limitation?

        Total weight per person cannot exceed 275lbs and total group total cannot exceed 700lbs (weights are taken at check-in) If the individual and/or group weight limit is exceeded at check in, the flight will not be accommodated and are subject to the full price.
      • How Many People Can A Helicopter Hold?

        For this flight, we have a maximum of four passengers.
