Fly high over the fiery lava vents of the Big Island’s Kilauea – an active volcano. The intensity of the landscape will surely take your breath away. This is just one of the unique sights you’ll find on an island with 10 out of 14 climate zones present on Earth. You will feel like you flew over Florida, New Zealand, Southern California, and Mars all in a day! Our luxury helicopter will whisk you through the hidden tropical valleys of the Kohala mountains, alive with dozens of roaring waterfalls, and lift you above the beautiful rainforest of the Hamakua coast.

Witness the awesome beauty of the Kohala Mountains with panoramic views of the South Kohala Resort coastline. Climb past Waimea over the sweeping pasture lands of the Kahua and Ponoholo Ranches on the way to the lush tropical rainforest of Hamakua. Explore the steep ocean cliffs and hidden valleys of Waimanu, Pololu and Waipio, alive with dozens of roaring waterfalls. This area of the Big Island is rich in history and holds some of the most spectacular vistas in Hawaii.

Expert local pilot and guide

Some of the most well-known legends surrounding Hawaii involve volcanoes. Your pilot will share some of these legends and how they are an integral part of the culture even now. It was just 2018 that Kilauea poured lava out over the southeast part of the island – you can hear more about this event as you fly over the still-steaming lava vents.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can a helicopter hold? How is the seating done? Can I sit up front?

Our fleet of helicopters accommodates up to six passengers plus your pilot. The weight & balance of the helicopter is computer generated and insures proper seat assignment. This system is used to equally distribute the weight, ensuring the pilot a level and safe flying platform. Both fore/aft and lateral balance are considered along with the overall total weight of the helicopter. There are two seats to the left of the pilot and four seats directly behind. Our helicopters are made for touring, so each seat provides an excellent view for all passengers. Special requests for certain seats will be granted if allowed by our weight and balance system.
Does the wind affect the helicopter?

Helicopters unlike planes have no fixed wings. The main rotors function as a gyro and stabilize the helicopter in gusty conditions. If wind and guests are such that it will cause an uncomfortable flight, tours will be canceled. Your safety and comfort are our #1 concern.
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 cancelled. We will re-schedule based on availability or cancel if guest is unable to reschedule.
What should I wear? Why do you recommend dark clothes? Will I be comfortable?

Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Dark shirts or tops are recommended for photo taking. Bright-colored clothing may put a reflective glare on the helicopter plexiglass windows and reflect in your photos. Dark clothing helps to eliminate the reflection. Our climate control system keeps our helicopters at a comfortable temperature for the entire flight.
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.
Are there restrooms on the helicopter?

No, helicopters are not equipped with restrooms. We do provide restroom facilities at each of our departure/landing sites.
Can we fly tours at night?

FAA requires all tours must fly between “Sunrise and Sunset;” no tour may depart before sunrise and all tours must be on the ground before the sunsets.
How experienced are your pilots?

We are proud to provide our guests with some of the most experienced pilots on the islands. Each of our pilots receives extensive company and factory training.

I love the Big Island, but I had no idea you could see so much in one day! A helicopter tour was a great choice and one of the highlights of my trip.
