About this tour
Start your adventure in historic Hilo town and then endeavor to the remote and lush Hamakua coast of Big Island's North Shore. Following this breathtaking terrain, you will witness the towering sea cliffs of the Kohala Coast where Waipi'o and Waimanu Valleys open into the dramatically deep and meandering valleys of the inner Kohala Mountains. On this helicopter ride, you'll experience beautiful waterfalls that cascade thousands of feet into the rainforest below where remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. This is a life changing supernatural experience.
