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 was a great helicopter tour for my wife and me and our teenage grandchildren. We did it with the doors off, which was particularly fun. Our pilot, Julien, was very nice and informative about what we were seeing. We flew to the north of Mauna Loa summit and then headed south to Kilauea, then proceeded up the Hamakua coast and past Waipo and Pololu valleys. We then flew past Hapuna Beach where we were staying, which was also fun. The tour took about two hours. If you want to do the tour with the doors off, I recommend (as does the tour company) that you dress warmly if you're prone to getting cold.

We had a great experience from the time we arrived at the heliport. The staff was welcoming on the ground and our pilot was very informative and even though there were areas that were cloud covered he was able to maneuver around to provide us a wonderful view of the island.

Very enjoyable! We just missed the actual eruption of Mauna Loa, but were able to see the lava that was still cooling, and of course the smoke. Amazing to be able to fly over volcanoes in a helicopter--a very unique experience! Due to the weather, we weren't able to access the entire island, but they were very flexible in changing the plans to our liking, and ultimately we agreed to a partial refund, which they did with no fuss, and made it very easy! If Mauna Loa decides to erupt again, we'll definitely be back with these guys!
