Kohala Valleys & Waterfalls Adventure Helicopter Tour in Big Island of Hawaii booking from $460.90

Kohala Valleys & Waterfalls Adventure Helicopter Tour

Overview

From lush tropical rainforest to dry, desert-like land, the Kohala coast has some of the most beautiful scenery on the Big Island.

High in the sky, see beautiful waterfalls cascading thousands of feet into the rainforest below, where remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. Named after the oldest volcanic mountain, the Kohala Mountains dominate the area and are considered by many to be the most spectacular landscape in Hawaii. Towering sea cliffs make for a dramatic backdrop along the rugged coastline.

Before returning, take in Waipi'o Valley, the childhood home of King Kamehameha I. Surrounded by cliffs up to 2000 feet high, view the ancient taro fields with rivers permeating the valley. Enjoy the multitude of cascading waterfalls and serene landscape of the mile-wide valley. Hear about the history of this majestic area from your helicopter pilot through your noise-cancelling headsets.

First time in a helicopter. Fears subsided as soon as we took off. The Bose noise cancelling headphones worked very well! Magnificent views only available by copter. Even saw whales. Our pilot Shane was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. And his music playlist was spot on!

We recently enjoyed a 45-minute helicopter tour in Hawaii, and it was breathtaking! The staff was professional and friendly, ensuring a smooth and safe experience. The views were unforgettable—lush valleys, waterfalls, and rugged coastlines. The pilot's insights about the islands added a special touch, making it both exciting and educational. The duration was perfect, giving plenty of time to take in the stunning landscapes without feeling rushed. If you want a unique way to experience Hawaii's beauty, this tour is a must!

The view during the tour was spectacular, we flew above the valley, near the waterfalls and the coast, we even saw a whale thanks to the pilot ! The staff was very nice. The helicopter was very big (6 persons + the pilot) and we had enough room for the legs and shoulders, however the 2 back middle seats don’t have the best view but you still have a great view on the front. During the flight the pilot was very friendly, and gave us great info on the valley and you also have nice music in the headset ! Your seat is assigned according to your weight but they sat us both together (the bigger in the middle). Everything was great, we had a very nice time ! We will definitely do it again on a another island to discover more of it from the air.
