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.

This flight departs from the Kona Airport. On this adventure you will experience the best of the Big Island on the way to the current lava activity at Kilauea. Whether flying between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, or by the clear blue waters of South Kona, both flight paths allow you to view areas not visible from the road. We will take you to the current lava activity for the best possible viewing once we reach Kilauea Volcano.

See the east side of the island with its lush tropical rainforests, abundant waterfalls and emerald green valleys. Then leave the lush green behind as your flight takes you by the Kona Coast, where the resorts provide a contrast to the stark lava fields and clear blue waters.

Our Elite features include six passenger American-made helicopters with executive seating, spacious, wide body cabin, over-sized windows for an outstanding view and great photo opportunities. It also includes two-way communication allowing you to speak directly with your pilot. Paradise Helicopters offer friendly customer service and is conveniently located at the Kona International Airport.
