Hawaii Helicopter Tours on the Big Island
Hawaii helicopter tours on the Big Island allow you see sights you'd never see otherwise. Big Island helicopter tours allow you can witness and experience the most geologically active place on Earth, Kilauea Volcano. Kilauea has been erupting almost continuously since 1983. While the volcano is the island's biggest attraction, the lava is no longer pouring into the ocean where you could once view it on foot. In 2007, new fissures opened so that now the lava is flowing in a remote area where due to extremely hazardous conditions, the only way to view the lava flow is from the air.
Some Big Island helicopter tour offer a "no doors" flight so that you can actually feel the heat from the lava – now there's a thrill! On the cooler side of things Hawaii helicopter tours provide fantastic panoramic views of the Big Island's beautiful coastline, from its black sand beaches (created by the volcano) to the green cliffs and valleys of the north shore's coast line.
While on your Big Island helicopter tour and in the comfort comfort of your airconditioned helicopter you may also see amazing waterfalls, lush tropical rainforests, the snow capped (in winter) peak of Mauna Kea, and the white sand coastline and turquoise reefs of Kona and Kohala.
Hawaii helicopter tours on the Big Island offer a variety of sightseeing adventures, none of which you'll ever forget.
