Overview
Schedule
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.
Mauna Kea - Witness Hawaii’s tallest mountain from the sky, often capped with snow, and take in panoramic views.
Mauna Loa - Gaze at the world’s largest volcano and observe the massive lava flows that have shaped much of the island’s surface over centuries of eruptions.
Fly over one of the world’s most active volcanoes and see its vast caldera, smoking craters, and lava-sculpted landscape from a thrilling aerial view. Glide above both fresh and ancient lava fields that tell the story of the island’s fiery creation and ever-changing volcanic activity.
Fly over Hilo’s scenic bayfront and spot iconic waterfalls like Rainbow Falls nestled in the tropical rainforest near Hawaii’s oldest town
Admire lush rainforests and countless waterfalls that tumble into the sea along this rugged, untouched stretch of coastline.
Impossibly steep mountain walls give way to breathtaking views of Waipio and Waimanu valleys along the northern coast of the Big Island.
Marvel at deep, emerald-green valleys, dramatic sea cliffs, and towering waterfalls cascading over 1,200 feet in Hawaii’s oldest volcanic region.
Land at a private waterfall deep within Laupahoehoe Nui, a remote part of the island inaccessible by foot or vehicle. Enjoy time to explore, take photos, and experience the serenity of this secluded paradise.
