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

Everything about this experience was spectacular! Every person we met from the time we arrived to the time we departed was top notch! Our pilot Matt was exceptional! He was knowledgeable and attentive. He pointed out everything that we could’ve possibly wanted to see. With explanations of where and what we were looking at. He also has a great sense of humor! My fiancĆ© and I got engaged at the waterfall. Matt happily pointed out that you do weddings too! Our ride met all of our expectations and we would definitely go again! This is the only way to really see some amazing parts of Hawaii!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter really put the icing on the cake for our family vacation! This tour from their Waikoloa location is the best flying experience I've ever been part of! The staff at their office was great so was Jim, our Pilot. We took the tour with the landing by the waterfall and it was awesome! We bought the video from our escapade and will watch it many times! Thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopter for a great time!

Did the helicopter tour with landing and it was simply breathtaking!!! Definitely worth the extra bucks for the landing. Once in a lifetime experience. The falls near the landing area was spectacular! My wife and I really enjoyed this trip! Our pilot Matt was great! He explained every question you asked him and even gave a great suggestion for dinner after the tour!
