Your Big Island Helicopter Tour

A Big Island helicopter tour makes sense on an island this large, where lava fields, rainforest, ranch land, valleys and coastline can sit hours apart by road. From the air, the island changes fast: dry Kona coast, green Hamakua cliffs, deep Kohala valleys and volcanic terrain all come into view in one flight.

Flights may depart from Kona Airport, Hilo Airport or Waikoloa Heliport, depending on the tour. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters offers Waikoloa and Hilo routes, Rainbow Helicopters flies Kona and volcano-focused options, and Mauna Loa Helicopters offers private flights with Kona Coast, waterfall, coffee farm landing and full-island-style routes.

Look first at where you are staying, then choose the route that fits your day. Hilo departures are closer to volcano and waterfall country, Kona flights are convenient for the west side, and Waikoloa works well for Kohala Coast resort areas. Check flight time, passenger weight rules, weather policy, camera rules and motion comfort before booking.
