Goddess Pele and Hawai’i’s first king, Kamehameha, unite on a stunning 90-minute helicopter tour that showcases four volcanoes and the waterfalls of the extraordinary Kohala Coast. Begin over Kailua Bay’s clear waters then rise to see Pele’s power in the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa. The Ka'upulehu Crater and the Hualalai volcano then give way to the summit of Mauna Kea, 13,796 feet above sea level. To the north, Kohala volcano and its stark landscape lead to the Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve, home to native plants and animals. The Kawaihae and Kohala Coasts, boyhood home of Kamehameha, lead to the Pololu and Waimanu Valleys and the Laupahoehoe Nui and Wai’ilikahi waterfalls’ cascading waters. From Waipio Valley’s black sand beach, the flight follows the waterfalls back to Anaehoomalu Bay, Kiholo Bay, and Makalawena Beach. The flight is an unforgettable journey through Pele’s garden of fire and the incredible landscape that was home to Hawai’i’s greatest king.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this helicopter tour? Can kids go?

A: Kids can definitely go on this tour! Rainbow Helicopters allows children as young as 2 years old to join, but they must sit in their own seat. They also recommend that kids be able to wear the headphones provided. Just double-check any safety restrictions with the company before booking.

Q: Is it possible to reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather isn’t safe for flying. Rainbow Helicopters will contact you in case of cancellations due to weather, and you can rebook for another day without any extra charges. Just make sure to keep an eye on forecasts close to your flight date.

Q: What should I wear on this helicopter tour? Are there any recommendations?

A: Comfort is key! I recommend wearing lightweight, breathable clothing since it can get a bit warm in the helicopter. Also, consider wearing closed-toe shoes and a light jacket, as it can be a bit chilly once you're up in the air. Don't forget to bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun!

Just did the Kohala Coast helicopter tour, and WOW!

I just got back from the 90-minute helicopter tour over Kohala Coast, and it was mind-blowing! Seeing the waterfalls and volcanoes from above was like something out of a movie. We went doors off, and the feeling of the wind and the views was unforgettable. If you're considering this as a gift, go for it! It's totally worth the price, and the guides were super friendly. Can’t wait to do it again.

Thinking of gifting this helicopter tour! Any tips?

I’m considering gifting the Kohala Coast helicopter tour for my partner's birthday. I love that it’s such a unique experience! I’ve heard mixed things about how bumpy the ride can be. Is it mostly smooth, or should I be worried about motion sickness? Any tips on what to expect would be so helpful!
