The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago—almost as large as all the other islands combined—and bursting with life. Within 4,000 square miles of land, you’ll experience dense tropical rainforests, black-sand beaches, snow-capped peaks, remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements, and the incredible Kilauea volcano.

Maui is renowned for its unimaginable beauty. Alpine-like forests cover the upcountry slopes of Mt. Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano. The famed “Road to Hana” hugs the coast, white sandy beaches line the shores, and magnificent sea cliffs hover over the blue Pacific. An aerial tour of Maui will quickly reveal why it’s continually been voted “The World’s Best Island.”

Oahu is the cultural heart of the Hawaiian Islands, offering an eclectic mix of tradition, Hawaiian history, and stunning natural beauty. Beyond Waikiki Beach, the historic sights of Pearl Harbor and the cosmopolitan city of Honolulu, you’ll discover gorgeous shorelines, hidden valleys, cascading waterfalls, and the famed North Shore.
Explore Tours Photo TourSix million years of powerful natural forces have sculpted Kauai into what it is today, a natural masterpiece. The incomparable Na Pali Coast, Waimea Valley (the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”), and stunning Mount Waiʻaleʻale (the second wettest place on earth), are among Kauai’s incredible wonders that are so remote, they are only accessible by helicopter.

Our tour was in Kono in September 2026. It was spectacular..although it may be one of the more expensive activities for a tourist, it is worth every penny. They show a video with specifics of what to do and to follow pilot instructions. Each person gets a life vest attached around the waist, and oriented towards the door. Each person is buckled in with waist and shoulder straps by the personnel. Each gets a set of headphones to hear the pilot and to ask questions of him/her. The sights were phenomenal…pilot asked the four of us, the tourists, what we’d like to see. I wanted to go over a volcano if possible..and we did. One of them was socked in with clouds, so we had to try another one. We saw geological features all around that were to be seen only through this method. If you like geology, this is the way to go! Our pilot was also well versed in the geology and time frames of the area, in volcano structures, and history in general. After flying right over the top of a volcano, we then headed towards the rainy side of the Big Island. It was the most spectacular sight….parts looked like jungles. We flew out over the ocean and could see waterfalls coming down the cliffs, sometimes there would be 6-7 in a row. We flew up a verdant valley to see more waterfalls and it was spectacular. Needless to say, I loved this trip. I’m claustrophobic, so I was anxious about how tightly packed we’d be in the helicopter, but I had plenty of room in front of me and lots of window-space…never once feeling anxious. The ride was mostly smooth with a few bounces here and there, but not bad. Go take this tour, if you can, because I cannot recommend it enough. And tip your pilot. ;)
Definately a fun experience but chances are one of you will be in a middle seat. Also the flight time was shorter than advertised, we were in the air maybe 30 mins
It was simply stunning!! The untouched natural beauty of Kauai was on full display during this tour. While I would take photos and videos on this tour, I would highly recommend taking in the beauty of this tour while in the air and getting the entire video from them after. Our pilot Alex was simply amazing. He was very informative and provided all of the passengers a great view of the island sights
Wonderful experience with professional piolets! Don't forget the Dramamine and to wear dark colors!
Herb is the best Pilot, the entire staff was very informative and friendly. We felt very welcome. The flight was just priceless!! We count our selfs blessed to be able to enjoy such an amazing adventure!!
We had a great experience and even better views! Our pilot, Chris, was great! Our trip was rerouted due to weather but the views were still spectacular. We even saw a round rainbow above the clouds! Highly recommend!
