What You Will Do
Depart from Waikoloa on a once-in-a-lifetime tour. From lush tropical rainforest to dry, desert-like land, the Kohala coast has some of the most beautiful scenery on the Big Island.
Get a birds eye view of beautiful waterfalls cascading thousands of feet into the rainforest below, where remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. Named after the oldest volcanic mountain, the Kohala Mountains dominate the area and are considered by many to be the most spectacular landscape in Hawaii.
The ultimate add on to your tour, take in the absolute wonder as your pilot descends amongst the lush flora and fauna along 1,200 foot cliffs to a grassy landing pad. Step out of your helicopter at the edge of a fresh water pool and the thundering waterfall.
Enjoy the multitude of cascading waterfalls and serene landscape of the mile-wide valley. Hear about the history of this majestic area from your helicopter pilot through your noise-canceling headsets

Highlight of our trip
2023-10-10
We did the landing at a private waterfall and it was worth every penny. Absolutely amazing experience. The entire staff was great and Greg our pilot made our flight a wonderful time even picking fresh bananas when we landed to share with us.
Expensive, but so worth it.

This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Our pilot was very professional and a font of knowledge. Answered all questions and had a calm and confident demeanour that assured nervous travellers in our group. We explored fantastic areas of the island - deep valleys and tall cascading waterfalls that can only be seen from a helicopter. Felt like we were on the set of Jurassic Park! This was not a cheap excursion, but wow, was it worth every penny! Highly recommend! You won't know what you would miss until you see it!

Brilliant! This was our fifth time on Blue Hawaiian, however first time with the Kohala "Landing" feature. Cam was our pilot and what a magnificent job he did maneuvering the chopper through the stunning valleys and precision landing at the base of the waterfall. The interactive flight session and visibility through the panoramic windows was superb. This is a very romantic tour and one not to be missed seeing our beautiful Kohala Coast Line and seven valleys of majestic vistas. Alissa checked us in and Cam took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy and enjoying our tour with Blue Hawaiian. We had guests from Laguna Beach of which one was a first time helicopter flyer. They both were extremely impressed with the tour. Outstanding! Mahalo Nui Loa
