Hawaiian helicopter tours are among the most breathtaking adventures available on earth. Although the natural landscape of the Hawaiian Islands is breathtaking from any angle, helicopter tours give you and your guests access to some of the most untouched and wild beauty in the world.

For the eco-conscious, helicopter tours offer a way to view the environment without disturbing the natural flora and fauna of the area. For the adventure-lover, there is no better way to get within 500 feet of hot, molten lava or to view a 2000-foot waterfall from a hovering vantage point so close you can almost feel the spray. For those simply looking to create an unforgettable vacation experience, the sights and sounds of Hawaii from the air allow you to experience as much of this island paradise as possible.

No matter what you're looking for, our helicopter tours provides the perfect opportunity to go places and see sites that only exist in most people's imaginations. Offering our sporty MD500 with four passenger seats or our luxurious Bell 407 with six passenger seats, Hawaiian helicopter tours have never been easier or more accessible.
