Exclusive Landing with Spectacular Big Island Helicopter Tour

Overview
Discover both the Big Island's beauty and its volcanic fury. Experience all the awesome spectacle of Madame Pele's lava and volcanic badlands which have been continuously erupting since 1983. Spot the black sand beaches to the lush rainforest along the rugged Hamakua Coast.

Take in the absolute wonder as your pilot descends amongst the lush flora and fauna along 1,200 foot cliffs to a grassy landing pad to the exclusive landing site only accessible by air. Step out of your Eco-Star helicopter at the edge of a fresh water pool and the thundering waterfall. Enjoy photo opportunities with the rainforest backdrop and mist of the falls.

Finally, the deep and immense tropical valleys of the Kohala Mountains, with dozens of cascading waterfalls, provide the perfect finish to the ultimate Big Island adventure.

The tour experience is awesome. The booking process was terrible. I booked two ticket for me and my husband for 8am tour. Receive two tickets to 10am tour. After I contact Viator customer service, they contacted the pilot and said that we can go with 8am tour. When we arrived at site, Blue Hawaiian Helicopter only had my reservation. They can't find my husband's booking information. We have to pay at the site to have my husband getting on board with me. It happened to other customers too.

This trip was amazing! Our pilot, Matt, was professional and fun. His knowledge of the island was extensive. We lucked out on a beautifully clear day. The waterfall landing was well worth the extra cost. You'll never be able to see the island like this on your own, or experience anything like it. A must do when visiting the island.
