The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago—almost as large as all the other islands combined—and bursting with life. Within 4,000 square miles of land, you’ll experience dense tropical rainforests, black-sand beaches, snow-capped peaks, remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements, and the incredible Kilauea volcano.

Maui is renowned for its unimaginable beauty. Alpine-like forests cover the upcountry slopes of Mt. Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano. The famed “Road to Hana” hugs the coast, white sandy beaches line the shores, and magnificent sea cliffs hover over the blue Pacific. An aerial tour of Maui will quickly reveal why it’s continually been voted “The World’s Best Island.”

Oahu is the cultural heart of the Hawaiian Islands, offering an eclectic mix of tradition, Hawaiian history, and stunning natural beauty. Beyond Waikiki Beach, the historic sights of Pearl Harbor and the cosmopolitan city of Honolulu, you’ll discover gorgeous shorelines, hidden valleys, cascading waterfalls, and the famed North Shore.

The incomparable Na Pali Coast, Waimea Valley (the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”), and stunning Mount Waiʻaleʻale (the second wettest place on earth), are among Kauai’s incredible wonders that are so remote, they are only accessible by helicopter.

Our pilot was Dale, and he was delightful and a wonderful pilot. The ride was smooth and beautiful, and I really loved seeing all the diverse sights and climates.
What a grate ride ! Definitely was the highlight to our trip to Oahu . Nicole was our pilot and a tour guide. She did an amazing job!
Absolutely incredible experience and flawless for a wheelchair user. They had a transfer lift and safely helped me transfer and overall have a great experience.
This was the highlight of our Hawaii cruise and worth every penny. The views of Kauai, the Na Pali Coast, waterfalls, and canyons were absolutely breathtaking. Our entire family loved it. Our pilot, Steve, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and did a wonderful job pointing out landmarks and sharing information throughout the flight. As someone who is nervous about flying, I especially appreciated how calm and confident he was. He completely put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. My only minor criticism is the check-in process. We were asked to arrive an hour early, but after being weighed and watching a brief safety video, there was a lot of waiting around, and our flight ultimately departed about 30 minutes late. It wasn’t a big enough issue to affect our enjoyment of the tour, but I think the arrival time could be shortened or the communication improved. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and a true bucket-list activity. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Kauai.
Our pilot Isiah was great, the tour was fun and it was beautiful to see Kauai from above for the first time rather than the sea level. I took away 1 star because I felt there was a bit of gaslighting. The helicopter seats 6. We had 3 in our party. Two people in the other, who had just refused to pay extra for the front seats. The receptionist told us there is one person on standby, which made my husband think none of us would get a front seat, so he paid the extra $150 to be in the front. Low and behold, the "standby" never showed up.
We took the Big Island Spectacular and boy did the tour live up to the name. Jeff was our pilot, he gave super detailed information, was very kind and considerate to a passenger that wasn't feeling the best, and was a very skilled. We felt very safe in his capable hands!
