Experience 

The Doors-Off Kohala Valleys & Waterfall with Remote Hike flight is the only doors-off helicopter tour that takes you deep into the heart of the Kohala valleys. There is no better way to experience and learn about the geography, history, and incomparable lush beauty of Kohala, the birthplace of King Kamehameha, than our doors-off tour. Once you are in these valleys, your camera will be the only thing between you and the towering 2500-foot waterfalls and sheer cliff faces – talk about epic social media posts!

Your aircraft will touch down at a remote location deep in Kohala Mountains to explore and enjoy a moderate half-mile pilot-led hike through a waiwi (guava) forest. The meandering trail immerses you in the flora and fauna of Kohala and surprises you with a dramatic coastline vista, offering views of the Mokupuku island formations and waves crashing along the rugged north shore of Hawai'i Island. All the while you will learn about the culture and diverse natural habitat of this untouched location that most people never see. After your refreshing hike, take to the air again, and enjoy views of the rolling hills of Kohala as you make your way back to Waimea.
