We had such a great time on this trip. Our pilot Ryan was knowledgeable, entertaining and made sure we were having fun. It was wonderful to see the waterfalls and coastline from the air. The trip was well worth the money!

Did the doors-off Kohala Valleys and Waterfalls tour and it was amazing! Matt was a great pilot- full of tons of information. Was suggested to leave out of Waimea instead of Kona, and it was great. Grabbed a late lunch in Waimea after- a fun end to the day.

Hi! If you splurge only on one "wow" experience while you're on Kona or in Hawaii, this doors-off tour is THE ONE you should chose! We're fortunate to have been to Hawaii several times in the past, and have done a few more traditional helicopter tours (which are great). This one, however, is spectacular!!! The thrill of experiencing the cliffs, valleys, and waterfalls of Kohala by being able to actually look directly down and around the natural beauty is unforgettable. We felt as though we could reach out and touch these spectacular wonders. Also requested a landing on the top of a cliff (at a landing spot created just for this trip, including a short jungle walk/hike). All while feeling increadibly safe and comfortable. This is a must-do in my opinion.
