Overview

Fly with Paradise to the Kohala Valleys to hover amidst the breathtaking 2500’ waterfalls and sheer cliff faces. En route, you will witness frozen lava flows on the Kona and Kohala coasts from the 1801 Hualalai eruption and the 1859 Mauna Loa eruption, which traveled over 31 miles before reaching the now world-famous Kohala Coast. Dotting the shoreline along the way, you can pick out pristine white and black sand beaches -- including Mahai’ula, Kiholo, Anaeho’omalu and Hapuna – to visit during your stay! Upon arriving to the lush landscape of Kohala, your pilot will not only show you its rugged coastline, home to dramatic valleys, but will also educate you about this region’s significance in Hawai'ian history as the birthplace of Hawai’i’s most famous alii, Kamehameha the Great. Departing from the Kona International Airport, this 60-minute tour is a great choice for guests wanting to see the beauty of Kohala, without sacrificing beach time for drive time.

My long-time friend came for a visit from the mainland and we chose to take a helicopter tour for our joint 60-year birthdays. I chose Paradise Helicopters to take us up. I'm so glad that I did. We originally were going to do the Volcano/Kohala with a landing, but due to weather concerns we shifted to the Kohala waterfalls with a landing. We had such a great time. Our pilot, Paige, was very knowledgeable and made the entire flight interesting and exciting. Speaking as an over 30-year resident of the island, the island looks much different from the air. You see parts that you never see from ground and it gives a different perspective to whole experience. I would recommend that anyone coming to the islands should try to take a flight; it really is a wonderful experience. Thank you Paige and Paradise Helicopters!

Amazing experience! Very well organized tour, I had the chance to see a part of the Big Island I would have otherwise missed.

We soared over places where people can't go. It was awesome seeing the waterfalls and the different beaches. It was also seeing the different eco systems during the flight. The staff was very friendly.

Whole experience was great. Jill in Reservations, Rick and Shane on the Ground Crew and Ryan, our pilot.The trip up the coast showed past lava flows, great beach and ocean vistas and a nice look at the Kohala Coast Resorts.However, the show really began once we dropped into the Kohala Preserve. Jurassic vistas everywhere.Ryan was a great pilot, historian and tour guide and I recommend Paradise Helicopters to anyone visiting Hawaii.

Paradise Helicopters is a great company with an exceptional crew, from the front desk to the pilot. Every encounter we had was professional, friendly, and informative. The flight was very comfortable and the sights amazing. This was our first flight in a helicopter and we weren't sure what to expect but it surpassed all dreams! This definitely won't be our last!

My mom and I both had an excellent experience. Our pilot was amazing and got us up close and personal with some amazing waterfalls. I thought the team was well organized and gave us an experience to remember. Overall, it was well worth the time and money and I'd highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to see the island for a different perspective.
