We had driven around the island before taking our helicopter fight. What an amazing perspective to see it from above. This should be on everyone's list.
Stunning scenery
Wow, wow, wow. There is no better way to see the Big Island than from a helicopter. We felt like we were floating in the air and taking in unbelievable sights. The waterfall landing was the perfect ending to an amazin...
moreAwesome Day
