Activity Level 

Easy: Suitable for Adults, Children & Seniors.
Visit this hidden gem of the tropics, where graceful 2500' waterfalls tumble down steep volcanic cliffs covered in lush vegetation before flowing out to sea. Skip the grueling multi-day hike, and take in views of this majestic region from the air.

Experience 

Fly with Paradise to the Kohala valleys to hover amidst the breathtaking 2,500-foot waterfalls and sheer cliff faces. En route, you will witness frozen lava flows on the Kona and Kohala coasts from the 1801 Hualālai eruption and the 1859 Mauna Loa eruption, which traveled over 31 miles before reaching the coastline. Dotting the shoreline along the way, you can pick out pristine white and black sand beaches - including Mahai’ula, Kiholo, Anaeho’omalu and Hāpuna – to visit during your stay!

Upon arriving to the lush landscape of Kohala, your pilot will not only show you its rugged coastline, home to dramatic valleys, but will also educate you about this region’s significance in Hawaiian history as the birthplace of Hawai’i’s most famous ali’i (nobility), Kamehameha the Great. Departing from the Kona International Airport, this 60-minute tour is a great choice for guests wanting to see the beauty of Kohala, without sacrificing beach time for drive time.
