Big Island Volcanoes National Park Helicopter Tour (Departs from Hilo)

Volcanoes and Rainforests of the Big Island from Above

Board your helicopter in Hilo for a scenic flight to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Look down upon the massive Kilauea caldera and volcanic terrain, and from the air, admire the expansive lava fields and black sand beaches shaped by ancient lava flows.

During your flight, you'll also encounter the breathtaking vistas of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Afterwards, circle over the lush rainforests and waterfalls surrounding Hilo, experiencing the diverse natural beauty of the Big Island all at once.


Kilauea and Vast Lava Fields

Fly over Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and observe the ever-changing volcanic geography of the Big Island. From above, you can view the Kilauea caldera, Puʻu ʻŌʻō volcanic features, and ancient lava flows. Witness the unique landscapes formed by solidified lava and new geological formations, and vividly feel how volcanic activity has shaped the Big Island. The distant sight of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa adds to the overwhelming scale of the scenery.

Waterfalls Amidst the Rainforest

Discover the lush green side of the Big Island, a stark contrast to its volcanic terrain. Fly over valleys and waterfalls nestled within dense rainforests, enjoying the harmonious blend of deep greenery and cascading blue water. The greatest allure of this tour is the ability to survey the Big Island's diverse natural wonders—volcanoes, lava fields, coastlines, and rainforests—all within a short period. Please note that the flight path and viewing locations may vary depending on the day's weather and flight conditions.
