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.

I rarely write reviews, but everyone at Mauna Loa Helicopters really deserves my time. The helicopter looked very new and in good operating condition. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We had an incredibly wonderful time. Kylie who checked us in was so sweet and informative. Mike our pilot was enthusiastic and basically fantastic! His narration of the trip was the perfect amount of talking. Not too much and not too little. We felt very safe flying with him. We were able to ask questions as we flew along which was cool. We couldn’t stop saying “Wow!” during the flight. It was so amazing and beautiful! We have traveled a fair amount in Hawaii and the world, but this really was a trip of a lifetime.

This is a fabulous way to see the whole island. You get to see Dow in the volcanos. Our pilot was knowledgeable and super fun!!!

I was a great experience to see the whole island. We saw the Kilauea creator rim with the lava flows, several waterfalls, Hilo town, Kona coastline. Our pilot was very good and he explained all the areas of interest that we flew over. It was very interesting to see and it was 2 hours in duration. If you want to see the whole island and get some great pictures this is the best way to do it. I would suggest taking gravel before it though because we were nauseated. Overall I would recommend it as the best way to see all the sites of the big island by taking Mauna Loa Helicopters private experience and knowing they have an excellent safety record gives you some peace of mind.
