Check-in at Waikoloa Heliport
After a short orientation, the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters crew will have you seated and ready for takeoff. Keep your camera at the ready, because they'll be plenty of amazing things to see!
Waikoloa is home to some of Big Island's top beach resorts, and for good reason; amazing stretches of white sand lie hidden in nooks along the coast.
Towering above the surrounding lowlands, and perpetually capped in snow due to its elevation, Mauna Kea is a must-see landmark on any sightseeing tour of the Big Island.
Look down over a rift where red lava pours into the sea, slowly expanding the island's landmass.
Almost always sputtering thick smoke into the sky above, Halemamumau is a highly active vent of Kilauea Volcano and definitely worth seeing.
Discover the wake of destruction left by Kilauea's past eruptions at Chain of Craters road and the land surrounding the now-famous Red Roof House, where hardened black lava rock now engulf the area.
Beautifully dense greenery and water spilling over layers of rock form the scene along the Hamakua Coast. The entire stretch is one incredible photo opportunity.
Impossibly steep mountain walls give way to breathtaking views of Waipio and Waimanu valleys along the northern coast of the Big Island.
Rising from the water in rippling shapes, capped in rich green, the Kohala Sea Cliffs attract visitors with their mysterious and arresting presence.
