About the Experience

Your adventure begins with an awe-inspiring flyover of Kīlauea, the world’s most active volcano, which has shaped the island for decades. As you soar across the eastern side of the Big Island, take in sweeping views of Hilo, Hawai‘i’s largest city, before heading up the lush Hamakua Coast. This region is known for its dramatic cliffs, rainforests, and cascading waterfalls.

From there, your private journey continues to the Kohala Coast, where you’ll hover deep inside sacred valleys accessible only by helicopter. Here, you’ll witness waterfalls plunging more than 2,000 feet, getting so close you can feel the mist. Crossing over Kohala Mountain, your flight concludes along the famed “Gold Coast,” where turquoise waters meet pristine beaches and luxury resorts.
