Big Island Helicopter Tours

The best way to see all of Hawaii’s Big Island is from the air. A helicopter flight really gives you a feeling of the Big Island’s size and all there is to see. Enjoy fascinating aerial views of one of the most volcanically active areas in the world. Watch lava enter the ocean, fly over the island’s immense rainforests and towering waterfalls and enjoy the sights of sea cliffs and black sand beaches.

Hawaii Discount offers a great selection of Big Island helicopter tours at hugely discounted prices. Depending on where you are staying, you will find helicopter tours departing from both the Hilo and Kona area.
