Overview

Embark on an unforgettable 45 minute helicopter tour showcasing the stunning diversity of Kona's coastline and Hualalai Volcano. Take flight over the ancient Kaloko Fish Ponds then glide above sparkling Kailua Bay along picturesque Ali’i Drive. Witness Kona’s magnificent beauty and experience the powdery expanse of Magic Sands Beach to the succulent, green Kona Coffee farms. From there, look into history while soaring over the pristine Kealakekua Bay Marine Preserve, home to the iconic Captain Cook Monument. Climbing above the landscape, witness the geological formations of Ka’upulehu Crater and the majesty of the Hualalai Volcano. Traversing across the molten rock, the landscape opens to Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve, home to native flora and fauna.
