Discover the Big Island’s magnificent beauty and its volcanic fury on this all-in-one Big Island helicopter tour.

Make your tour departing from Waikoloa even more unforgettable. Our exclusive landing at Laupahoehoe Nui on the Kohala Coast, with its majestic 1200-ft. waterfall, gives you a one-of-a-kind photo and video opportunity during 20-25 minutes on the ground.
