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.

This was an activity on a work trip but was amazing. Personally my first time in a helicopter and I loved it. We had Greg as our pilot and he was very knowledgeable and made sure we were able to get some great pictures

From the moment you arrive you can tell Blue Hawaiian knows what they are doing, beautiful little check in/shop, friendly staff, and safety measures. The tour itself was absolutely amazing, our Pilot Shane was very knowledgeable, friendly and took very good care of us up in the sky. The sights are so gorgeous they make you speechless!! 10/10 isn’t even a high enough score for Blue Hawaiian and their staff!
