We had the most awesome time. Our pilot was extremely experienced and very knowledgeable about the Big Island. Very happy that we booked this adventure. I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking to see stuff that you cant drive to or hike too. Being up against the canyon walls looking at the waterfalls was breathtaking. Huge thumbs up for this company!!! Reviewed by:DAVE M.,

Description
Everybody knows Hawaii is a stunningly beautiful piece of the Pacific Ocean, and you can get the best views of its spectacular features on a helicopter tour of the Big Island. This exciting two-hour tour will show you what the Big Island has to offer, including Kilauea's current volcanic activity, where if you're lucky, you'll see actual lava flow.
Take off from Kona International Airport on a comfortable, low-vibration, six-seat Bell 407 helicopter, and soar south along the Kona Coast before heading over to Kilauea at Volcanoes National Park. See the most recent volcanic activity before heading to the north end of the island.
Climb between the peaks of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, enjoying the jaw-dropping views from the oversized sliding windows, perfect for taking photos. Marvel at the awesome sight of cliffs, tropical rainforests and lush green valleys, where you'll dive between mist-shrouded peaks. Revel in the beauty of cool mountain waterfalls and the deep valleys of the Hamakua Coast before returning to Kona, where you can spot the high-end resorts that dot the coast.
Your knowledgeable pilot will offer expert narration, which you’ll hear over your two-way headset. Ask questions and talk with pilot as you fly.
