About Rainbow Helicopters - Kona Coast Scenic
Fly with Rainbow Helicopters on a Kona Coast Scenic tour featuring Big Island shoreline views, lava-shaped landscapes and aerial scenery along the island's west side.
Lift above the Kona shoreline and trace centuries of history etched into lava rock: the geometric Kaloko fishponds first appear below, then the cerulean curve of Kailua Bay glints in the morning sun before coffee-green hills roll out toward Kealakekua's reef-fringed cove. From your window, the Captain Cook Monument stands sentinel over coral gardens where bright fish swirl through clear water, offering a perspective possible only from the air.
Doors Off Option: Prefer an unfiltered rush of trade-wind air? Select the doors-off configuration when booking for unobstructed photography and an open-cabin thrill, or keep the doors on for a cozier ride.
