Paradise Helicopters - Hawaii Experience (Kona Airport)
This Big Island Helicopter Tour is currently unavailable for booking on our site. Please visit our Big Island Helicopter Tours page for
other available tours.
Here's a great way to experience the best that the Big Island has to offer. You'll depart from the Kona airport in a fine touring helicopter, sightseeing along the way. You'll get incredibly sublime views of areas invisible from the surface roads. Fly between the two main volcanoes that make up the island - Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Once you reach beautiful Mt. Kilauea, you'll see the most recent volcanic activity before proceeding to the north end of the island, where you'll revel in the lush beauty of tropical rainforests, cool mountain waterfalls, and deep, still valleys. Then it's on to the sparkling Kona Coast. This is one of the Big Island Helicopter tours that is offered by Hawaii Activities Discount that departs out of Kona and visits the active volcano in Hilo.
