Explanation
Experience the adventure of a lifetime on a thrilling helicopter tour over the magnificent native forest and majestic waterfalls, all the way to the heart of the world's most active volcano. Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi has been continuously erupting since 1983, showcasing the power of the Hawaiian goddess of fire, Pele.
You will be in awe of the towering presence of the island's two major volcanoes, Mauna Loa, and Mauna Kea. These incredible giants provide unparalleled views that can only be fully appreciated from a helicopter. Rising 13,796 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea is not only a dormant volcano but also the world's tallest mountain, measuring more than 6 miles from its base on the ocean floor.
On our helicopter tours, you’ll get a front-row seat to the ongoing spectacle of the Big Island's volcanic activity, with a focus on the remarkable East Rift Zone. Follow the path of historical eruptions along Chain of Craters Road and marvel at the plumes of volcanic gas and smoke rising through the air from the renowned Pu‘u O‘o Vent.
As we tour along the coastline, see the aftermath of the recent eruption that devastated Leilani Estates and created a new black sand beach. Weather permitting, we'll also take you through several craters, including Napau and Mauna Ulu, before reaching the world-famous Halemaumau Crater at the summit of Kilauea.
Prepare to be amazed as you immerse yourself in the indescribable beauty and visible volcanic history on this bucket-list tour. The breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable views of Hawaiʻi's volcanoes will leave a lasting impression.
