Doors Off - Approximately 4 hours.
Two hours of helicopter flight time and two hours of airplane flight time to and from Kona or Hilo.
Feel the wind in your face and the heat of the molten lava below. This doors-off adventure is one you’ll talk about for years to come. This is perhaps the finest way to see Madam Pele’s handiwork because you are exposed to the elements and become part of the scene. Plus, it is hands down the best way to photograph the volcano and surrounding areas. You’ll fly in comfort in a Hughes 500 that provides excellent visibility for all. Departing Hilo, you will skim over the beautiful and lush rainforests of the Hilo area and be treated to beautiful views of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. In addition to Kilauea Volcano, you will get a bird’s eye view of lovely Rainbow Falls. Accommodates up to four persons.

Two hours of helicopter flight time and two hours of airplane flight time to and from Kona or Hilo.
Of all the fascinating natural phenomena present on our planet, an erupting volcano may be the one most ideally suited for viewing from a helicopter. Kilauea Volcano, on the southern flanks of Mauna Loa, has been treating visitors to ongoing eruptions for more than 20 years, and this tour will give you the most spectacular view of all. In total, you’ll see five volcanoes, incredible valleys and waterfalls, white and black sand beaches, breathtaking coastlines and more. The Big Island, the largest of the Hawaiian Islands (and still growing), is a wonderland of scenic delights. You’ll depart from the Kona Airport in an executive Bell 407 and, in about two hours, see enough grandeur to satiate the most avid adventurer. Accommodates up to six persons.
