Madame Pele has been busy lately and you can peer down into the Halema’uma’u caldera to see the lava lake fill.

As we head back to Hilo, you will see the famous Rainbow Falls as color fills the mist around the twin cascading 80-foot waterfalls.
Some of the most well-known legends surrounding Hawaii involve volcanoes. Your pilot on the 45-minute flight 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.
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!
