Check-in at Waikoloa Heliport
Safety Briefing & Departure
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 Hotels & Beaches
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.
Kohala Coast & Sea Cliffs
Rising from the water in rippling shapes, capped in rich green, the Kohala Sea Cliffs attract visitors with their mysterious and arresting presence.
Waimanu Valley & Waterfalls
Glide high above towering mountain cliffs and take in the breathtaking beauty of Waimanu Valley, complete with its cascading, awe-inspiring waterfalls.
Waipio Valley
Get a bird's-eye view of the breathtaking Waipio Valley and marvel at the lush cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the striking beauty of its iconic black sand beach below!
Mauna Kea & Other Highlights
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.
Exclusive Landing at Laupahoehoe Nui Falls (20-25 minutes)
Your pilot will land on 1,200-foot cliffs amidst lush flora and fauna. Step out by a fresh water pool and a waterfall. Take photos with the rainforest backdrop and the mist of the falls.
