Tour ID: BPHH-02
Location: Kona, Big Island
Duration: 2 Hour Flight
Departs from: Kona Airport
The Hawaii Experience is the ultimate journey of discovery for anyone who wants to be immersed in the beauty and majesty of the Kona area of the Big Island. During the leisurely two hour flight, you'll experience a gods-eye view of active volcanoes, vast lava fields, lush valleys, and tropical rainforests as your pilot circles the Big Island of Hawaii. Don't miss this chance of a lifetime to immerse yourself in the beauty of one of the most spectacular places on earth.
Your tour begins at the Kona airport, where you will relax in style in a comfortable lounge as your pilot briefs you about the history and geography of the Big Island. Then you'll board the luxurious limo style helicopter with spacious executive seating. From the helicopter's oversized windows, you'll enjoy a view like no other as you ascend either Hualalai or Captain Cook to observe active shield volcano Kilauea and its massive caldera and lava fields. Although Kilauea rarely spouts a lava flow, you may be lucky enough to observe the steam or gas that occasionally leaks from the volcano, reminding us that it is still simmering with activity deep beneath the quiet surface. It's no surprise that Kilauea is the most active volcano in the world; the indigenous Hawaiians believe that it is home to Pele, the goddess of volcanoes.
Next, your pilot will guide you through the Hamakua Coast leading into Waimanu Valley, an ethereal landscape bordered by verdant rainforests and Waihilau Falls, the highest waterfall in the U.S. This waterfall-dominated landscape was formed by the combination of extremely high rainfall and fragile erosional cliffs that over a long period of time etched out numerous stream valleys.
Finally, you'll tour the Kona Coast area with its eponymous coffee fields lined by deep azure waters. Kona coffee is one of the most famous cultivars of coffee in the world, thanks to the rich volcanic soil of the Kona Coast. The Kona Coast is also famous for its beautiful waters and plentiful fishing which have resulted in the proliferation of many extravagant resort areas along the waterside.
