Big Island Helicopter Tours

Big Island helicopter tours reveal just how large and varied Hawaii Island really is. Fly above volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, Kohala valleys and long stretches of coastline from Kona, Hilo or Waikoloa.

About this experience

Take in the Big Island from Above

A helicopter tour gives you a sense of just how varied the Big Island really is. In a single flight, you can move from dry lava country to green valleys, waterfalls, ranch land, and stretches of coastline that would take hours to connect by road.

Depending on the route, flights may leave from Kona Airport, Hilo Airport, or Waikoloa Heliport. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters operates routes from Waikoloa and Hilo, Rainbow Helicopters offers Kona departures and volcano-focused flights, and Mauna Loa Helicopters has private options that may include the Kona Coast, waterfalls, coffee country, landing experiences, and broader island routes.

Your departure point can make a big difference in how the day comes together. Hilo puts you closer to volcano and waterfall areas, Kona is convenient if you are staying on the west side, and Waikoloa is a natural starting point from the Kohala Coast resorts.

Before booking, compare the flight path rather than just the flight time. Check passenger weight guidelines, weather and cancellation policies, camera rules, and whether anyone in your group is sensitive to motion. The views can change quickly from one side of the island to the other, which is part of what makes a helicopter tour such a memorable way to see the Big Island.
