Big Island Helicopter Tours

The Big Island is the largest landmass in Hawaii. Not only that, the Big Island actually grows several inches every year due to nearly continuous volcanic activity. The main drawback to exploring this incredible island is mainly the amount of time you will have to spend driving. Just to drive between the two major cities on the Big Island of Hilo and Kona takes nearly two hours! Bearing that fact in mind, a circle island helicopter tour is a sure-fire way to see as much of the Big Island as possible and to do it in a matter of hours instead of days.

Choose between several itineraries and routes that will guarantee you views of jaw-dropping sites like the world’s most active volcano, Kilauea, a rare green sand beach, the rolling hills of the Kona coffee district, massive waterfalls, and much much more. Multiple departure times and airport hubs will also allow you to choose a tour that departs closest to your accommodations. Come fly with us!

FAQs About Big Island Helicopter Tours

What should I wear on a helicopter tour?
You should wear clothing that is comfortable and lightweight. It is also advisable to avoid wearing anything brightly colored or reflective as it can negatively affect the photos you take during the tour. You are also advised to remove any jewelry or dangling items before boarding the helicopter.
Are we guaranteed to see all of the sights mentioned in your tour descriptions?
The points of interest mentioned in our tour descriptions are highlights of the tour, which we always do our best to show you depending on wind and weather. On the Big Island, areas of volcanic activity are constantly shifting, as are the areas of waterfalls on every island. Each tour is unique in that we'll show you the best currently available scenery while also trying to accommodate all of your special requests within the generally allotted time.
Do helicopters have restrooms?
Most helicopters are not equipped with restrooms. We recommend that you use the facilities at the departure site prior to your flight.
Can we add a helicopter tour to our private tour day?
Of course, it’s your day! Let us know what you’d like to do, and we’ll make it happen. We’ll get you to and from the heliport and ensure you have time for a full day of touring.
Will we be the only ones in the helicopter? How is seating arranged?
Unless you charter the complete helicopter you will be sharing the flight with other guests. We try to seat couples and families side-by-side as much as possible. We cannot guarantee particular seating as it is often dictated by our FAA approved “weight and balance” program. However, visibility from every seat is excellent in both our A-Stars and Eco-Stars, since there are no cabin partitions that would block part of the view as is the case on other types of helicopters. Please note: tours from Maui, Waikoloa and Hilo operate with both A-Stars and Eco-Stars; tours from Kauai and Oahu utilize the Eco-Star exclusively. There is a comparison seating diagram for these aircraft available on each individual island page.
