Pick-up from Hotels & Check-in at Waikoloa Heliport

After a short orientation, the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters crew will have you seated and ready for takeoff. Keep your camera at the ready, because they'll be plenty of amazing things to see!

Waikoloa is home to some of Big Island's top beach resorts, and for good reason; amazing stretches of white sand lie hidden in nooks along the coast.

Rising from the water in rippling shapes, capped in rich green, the Kohala Sea Cliffs attract visitors with their mysterious and arresting presence.

Impossibly steep mountain walls give way to breathtaking views of Waipio and Waimanu valleys along the northern coast of the Big Island.

Towering above the surrounding lowlands, and perpetually capped in snow due to its elevation, Mauna Kea is a must-see landmark on any sightseeing tour of the Big Island. Your pilot will also be happy to point out other lesser-known sights before your return.
