About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters – Big Island Spectacular Waikoloa
Climb into a state-of-the-art helicopter in Waikoloa and trace a loop around the Big Island's wild north and fiery east side. The flight arcs above black-sand beaches and the ever-changing crater of Kilauea, the world's most active volcano. From there the route turns toward the Hamakua Coast, where rainforests cloak sea cliffs and waterfalls drop thousands of feet into jungle canyons tucked between the ridges of the Kohala Mountains. It's the same route that earned a spot on The Travel Channel as the "World's Best Helicopter Thrill."
