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.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was great to work with this past week in spite of all the bad weather in Hawaii. Our preferred tour wasn't possible due to extreme weather on the island (see Kona Storm 2026). They were able to re-schedule us for a later date and provided a timely refund for the difference in cost between our original booking and the tour we ultimately were able to take. The wait was definitely worth it! In the end, we got a beautiful morning tour of the Kohala waterfalls and a landing at the base of one of the falls on the coast. With all the rain, the waterfalls were gushing and it was spectacular! We also managed to spot a young humpback whale that was breaching and playing just off the cost. Our pilot's musical playlist throughout the tour was excellent as well! I highly recommend the Kohala Falls tour and landing!
This trip is the highlight of our vacation!
We didn't actually get to fly due to Kilauea episode 43, however I had to make a few reservation changes over the phone and the customer service was great. When our flight was cancelled, our desk agent recommended we drive up to Volcanoes NP to see the eruption and boy did we see it - I hope I get to fly with them on a return trip!
I took a domestic flight from Oahu to the Big Island. I went to the Blue Hawaiian Helicopter boarding point, received a brief screening and safety briefing, and waited. I boarded the helicopter at my scheduled time, first toured the volcanic area, then headed back along the coast to the first boarding point. I was able to leisurely enjoy the breathtaking views, which can only be seen from the air, for an hour.
Our trip was awesome! Our guide was not only an extremely good pilot, but she gave us an informative and interesting tour. The sites were incredible. It’s truly an extraordinary way to see the islands!
What an amazing experience! I definitely recommend the waterfall landing. It was such a beautiful experience from start to finish, but the waterfall landing took my breath away. Kaj was an amazing tour guide and pilot, the whole staff was friendly and kind.
