Fly away to see the Big Island of Hawaii and enjoy a helicopter flight while on the Big Island to try seeing the recent volcanic activity! Start your early morning off being picked up by Polynesian Adventures from your Waikiki area hotel or meeting them at the Honolulu Airport for a flight over to Kona on the Big Island. Once you arrive head out in a comfortable tour bus to see popular sights of the island!
Visit the Royal Kona Coffe Mill & Museum, view Mauna Loa Volcano off in the distance, and see the striking black sand beach of Punalu'u. Drive by the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (it's currently closed because of the recent eruptions that started in May) and the Lili'uokalani Botanical Garden that is dedicated to immigrant works before getting into Hilo.
Once in Hilo, the tour will stop at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel to give everyone a chance to grab a bite to eat (no-host). While there enjoy the views of Hilo Bay and Mauna Kea. Next head off to Blue Hawaiian Helicopters to get ready for a 45-minute helicopter adventure! The helicopter tour features aerial views of volcano and flies over the largest rainforest in the United States, cascading waterfalls, and areas with the most recent volcanic activity.
