The Big Island represents 63% of the state’s total land mass, or over 4,000 square miles. To see everything this beautiful island has to offer by car can be a daunting task, especially if you only have 1-2 weeks to enjoy your vacation. Fortunately, by taking to the air on a guided helicopter tour you will be able to see all of the Big Island’s iconic landmarks in just 2 hours.

Departs from Kona
Be sure to check in about 45 minutes before departure at the Kona Airport. This thrilling 2 hour tour begins with a flyover of the Kona coffee district and the slopes of Mauna Loa. In the prime conditions of the Kona coffee district, hundreds of small farms are able to produce over 2.5 million pounds of coffee each year. From there, your pilot will follow the coast and give you incredible vantage points of towering sea cliffs, crashing waves and one of the world’s only green sand beaches. After that, the terrain changes dramatically as you are treated to views of the crater that was formerly the Pu’u ‘O’o Vent of the Kilauea Volcano.
The east side of the Big Island is completely covered in blankets of lush green jungle. The reason the vegetation is so thick here is because this region sees over 130 inches of rain per year. As you might imagine, waterfalls and rushing rivers are plentiful in this region. In the middle of it all lies the colorful town of Hilo. Following the breathtaking Kohala Coast will take you through the steep walls and sharp ridges of the Kohala Valleys. Before returning to Kona, you will be able to catch some last glimpses of the pristine white sand beaches along the coast.

Big Island Experience
Some of the most beautiful and scenic parts of Hawaiʻi are so remote they can only be seen from the air. That’s why this Big Island Experience helicopter tour is so spectacular. True to its name, the Big Island is so sizeable that it can take a full day of driving to see just one side of the Big Island, but from the air, you can see so much more!
