Overview

Goddess Pele and Hawai’i’s first king, Kamehameha, unite on a stunning 90-minute helicopter tour that showcases four volcanoes and the waterfalls of the extraordinary Kohala Coast. Begin over Kailua Bay’s clear waters then rise to see Pele’s power in the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa. The Ka'upulehu Crater and the Hualalai volcano then give way to the summit of Mauna Kea, 13,796 feet above sea level. To the north, Kohala volcano and its stark landscape lead to the Puu Waawaa Forest Reserve, home to native plants and animals. The Kawaihae and Kohala Coasts, boyhood home of Kamehameha, lead to the Pololu and Waimanu Valleys and the Laupahoehoe Nui and Wai’ilikahi waterfalls’ cascading waters. From Waipio Valley’s black sand beach, the flight follows the waterfalls back to Anaehoomalu Bay, Kiholo Bay, and Makalawena Beach. The flight is an unforgettable journey through Pele’s garden of fire and the incredible landscape that was home to Hawai’i’s greatest king.
