Highly recommend this tour! The was my first helicopter ride but Matt went through all safety procedures and made us feel safe. The views are incredible and you’re able to get close to valleys and waterfalls that are inaccessible by car or foot. Amazing experience that we would love to do again. We even landed and did a short hike to a cliff edge for more views of the ocean. Matt was a great guide, showing us fresh fruit that we could pick and eat from the trees. We also felt very COVID-safe. Thanks Matt!!!

This was a breathtaking tour of huge waterfalls and deep green valleys that you can only dream of! HIGHLY recommend the DOORS OFF kohala valley tour leaving from Waimea - Kohala Airport. Our pilot Matt was phenomenal and super friendly. COVID precautions were excellent. I left with the feeling that we saw some secrets of the island that are inaccessible to most! 40 minutes was actually perfect, and seemed like much much longer.

Amazing views of waterfalls, coastline, and ocean. The flight was ~35 min, which was honestly long enough. I would recommend leaving out of Waimea (rather than Kona), since that means the flight is all nature views rather than burning helicopter time traveling between the cities. We got to see valleys that are practically impossibly to access otherwise. Our guide answered all our questions and gave us restaurant recommendations at the end! The company is careful about sticking to recommendations regarding COVID. We brought our own masks, so I'm not sure if they provide them otherwise (you can call and ask). They did provide phone straps!
