🌋 Rainbow Helicopters – Kona Coast & Hualalai Volcano Tour


Soar above the Big Island’s captivating landscapes on the Kona Coast & Hualalai Volcano Tour with Rainbow Helicopters. Departing from Kona Airport, this immersive flight explores a dynamic mix of cultural sites, volcanic craters and coastal beauty.

Your journey begins above the ancient Kaloko fishponds, then glides over Kailua Bay and the bustling Ali'i Drive, home to Kona’s historic heart. Continue past the brilliant white sands of Magic Sands Beach and the iconic Kona coffee farms as you head south.
