About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters – Hilo Waterfall Experience
Lift away from Hilo and trace the island's emerald north shore, where the sheer sea cliffs of Waipio and Waimanu valleys give way to labyrinths of jungle-cloaked gulches. From your window, ribbons of water plunge thousands of feet into hidden rainforest, their mist weaving through remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements tucked along the valley floors.
As the helicopter banks along the Hamakua and Kohala coastline, your pilot shares legends of the land and points out photo-perfect cascades that would take days to reach by foot—revealing, in minutes, the raw power and secluded beauty that define Hawaii's wild side.
