Description
On this 45-minute tour, we'll introduce you to the most active volcano in the world - Kilauea. If you're lucky, the volcano will be oozing fiery lava for your viewing pleasure. Fly onboard our 6-passenger MD 500 Helicopter, where all passengers are guaranteed a window seat!
But even if it isn't, you'll be sure to see the "newest" lands on earth. After seeing the fire, we'll whisk you to the water with panoramic views of lush valleys dripping with cascading waterfalls.
Afterward, it's on to the Wailuku River, where you'll fly by an amazing array of waterfalls cascading into cool tropical pools far below. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mauna Kea & Mauna Loa.
With only 6 passengers & 1 pilot, you'll enjoy a more personalized flight with 2-way headsets that allow you to talk to the pilot & the other passengers. Ask the pilot questions about the sights you see, especially when every seat is a window seat.
Please Note: Your safety is our #1 priority. In order to ensure the safety of all passengers, customers that weigh over 265 pounds are subject to an additional seat charge for their flight.
All of our pilots and aircraft are FAA certified.

This was our first helicopter experience and it was exciting and exhilarating. It was worth every $$ to see what we can't see driving in our rental car. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We were the very lucky ones who got to see the lava spurting out of the cracks near the ocean bench before breaking off. Thank you, thank you. You took us on an earlier flight and we didn't have to wait the 45 minutes till our flight time.
YEA!

This was an awesome experience, something we will never forget! Our two kids, one 14 and the other only 7, got to sit up front with the pilot. They enjoyed this tour more than any other we did. Well worth it!
