Highlights

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.

About Big Island of Hawaii

The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest and youngest of the main Hawaiian islands, with active volcanoes, black-sand beaches, coffee farms and clear skies.

The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined and still being shaped by active volcanoes. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has steaming craters, lava fields and the Chain of Craters Road down to the sea. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa both rise above 4,000 metres, and snow dusts their summits in winter.

Top-ranked sights in Big Island of Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Rainbow Falls, Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku).
