Helicopter & Airplane Tours

Big Island Helicopter Tours

Experience the Big Island from above on a thrilling helicopter tour showcasing volcanoes, waterfalls, lush valleys, and dramatic coastlines. Fly over Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, the flowing lava of Kīlauea (when active), and the stunning sea cliffs of Waipiʻo and Waimanu Valleys. Departures are available from Hilo, Kona, and Waikoloa. Big Island helicopter tours offer unforgettable views you can’t see from the ground.

Volcano Helicopter Tours

Big Island volcano helicopter tours offer an unforgettable way to witness Hawaii’s active volcanic landscapes from above. Fly over Kīlauea and Mauna Loa to see craters, steam vents, and—when active—glowing lava flows. Some tours feature open-door options for an immersive experience, letting you feel the heat and capture incredible photos. Discover the raw beauty of the Big Island’s volcanoes on a breathtaking aerial adventure.

Private Helicopter Charters

A private helicopter charter is the best way to see the Big Island the way you want to see it. Customize your own itinerary and flight path with help from friendly and professional staff. See the majestic sea cliffs of Kohala, the secluded Waipio Valley, the snow-capped Mauna Kea, or the lava landscape of the volcano. Whether you're traveling as a couple or a family of up to six, a personalized helicopter tour is the ideal way to explore the varied landscape of the Big Island.
