Kohala Waterfalls with Exclusive Landing Helicopter Tour
Overview
Depart from Waikoloa on a once-in-a-lifetime tour. From lush tropical rainforest to dry, desert-like land, the Kohala coast has some of the most beautiful scenery on the Big Island.
Get a birds eye view of beautiful waterfalls cascading thousands of feet into the rainforest below, where remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. Named after the oldest volcanic mountain, the Kohala Mountains dominate the area and are considered by many to be the most spectacular landscape in Hawaii.
The ultimate add on to your tour, take in the absolute wonder as your pilot descends amongst the lush flora and fauna along 1,200 foot cliffs to a grassy landing pad. Step out of your helicopter at the edge of a fresh water pool and the thundering waterfall.
Enjoy the multitude of cascading waterfalls and serene landscape of the mile-wide valley. Hear about the history of this majestic area from your helicopter pilot through your noise-canceling headsets
