What To Expect

Island of Hawaii

Start your adventure by flying along saddle road between Mauna Kea (tallest mountain in the world) and Mauna Loa (largest mass mountain in the world) toward Kilauea Iki, one of the most active volcanoes on earth. Head north up the windward side of the island passing Hilo town, the wettest town on earth, and the heavenly Hamakua Coast filled with flora and fauna. We then decent upon the Kohala Valleyʻs of Waipiʻo, Waimanu, and Pololu, home to 2500 feet waterfalls. We climb and cross over the summit of Kohala, the oldest of the five volcanoes that make up the Island of Hawaiʻi. Your tour concludes with a beautiful coastline flight over white sand beaches, pristine coral reefs, ancient lava flows, historic heeiau (temples) and the luxury resorts that make their homes on the island’s leeward shores.

This company did a fantastic job, taking care of my family. They communicated with us before the flight to make sure the number and weight of passengers would work on the flight (helicopters have weight limits). When our taxi screwed up on the morning of the flight and went to the wrong place to pick us up, making us late for our scheduled flight, the company was patient with us and adjusted to the new time when we could arrive. The office staff were gracious and did a good job, and the pilot was friendly and excellent. The views of the island are awe-inspiring, and a helicopter tour is the best way to see it all.

Luca was our pilot. He is smooth and professional (I'm former USAF -- I'd know!). Plus he is entertainingly knowledgeable about the Big Island. We began our flight by going along the coast and seeing Captain Cook's memorial. Then we swung inward up to Mauna Loa. (The South end of the island was -- as usual for our stay -- stormy). Luca told us about the volcanic activity, and we followed the former rivers of lava down the mountain. Then he swung south to Keahou Volcano which had many cone vents and rivulets. It wos impressive yet, for the most part, never mentioned in discussions on Hawaii volcanoes or tours! Next we cruised North past Mauna Kea to Kamuela-Honokane cliffs. These totally forested, steep (think 80 degrees -- not quite straight up), ridges were running with 1500 ft waterfalls! So many waterfalls, we could not count them! Seriously. This is where the original Jurassic Park movie was shot! Coming back along the coast to Kona International, we saw flood damage that washed out a chunk of the best beach on the island. My wife is not a flier, but she LOVED this! Helicopters rule!
