Kohala Waterfalls with Exclusive Landing Helicopter Tour in Big Island of Hawaii booking from $804.65

Kohala Waterfalls with Exclusive Landing Helicopter Tour

Overview

Depart from Waikoloa on a once-in-a-lifetime tour. From lush tropical rainforest to dry, desert-like land, the Kohala coast has some of the most beautiful scenery on the Big Island.

Get a birds eye view of 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.

The ultimate add on to your tour, 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. Step out of your helicopter at the edge of a fresh water pool and the thundering waterfall.

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-canceling headsets

What an amazing experience. Our pilot was knowledgeable of the sites seen and enhanced his monologue with cultural lore. The trip was further enhanced by a customize soundtrack built by the pilot. A full sensory experience.

We were extremely disappointed with our experience with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Less than two days before our scheduled tour — which we had booked and paid for weeks in advance — they abruptly canceled due to not enough people for the volcano tour (we are a family of 4). To make matters worse, they didn’t offer any alternative options at a discounted rate despite the short notice. We had planned our trip around this tour, and the lack of customer service and consideration left a very negative impression. We expected better from a company with such a strong reputation.

Chose this tour with a landing at the note of another reviewer - THANK YOU! The whole ride was spectacular, but landing in front of a 300' waterfall with only one other couple and the pilot there to enjoy it? This was an incredible experience we won't soon forget!
