Big Island of Hawaii Helicopter Tour | Kailauea Volcano, Waterfalls, Hilo | Paradise Helicopters
We took a helicopter tour using Paradise Helicopters based out of the Hilo Airport on the Big Island of Hawaii.
We visited the current activity from the Kilauea Volcano, the rainforests of Puna, and the waterfalls of North Hilo! We went about 5 months after the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano and hoped to see some active lava flows, however the eruptions and flows had stopped. We were still able to see aftermath of the eruption and the destruction and devastation it caused. It was surreal to see the effects of this eruption.
We took the doors off tour option which gave us an unobstructed view of everything we were looking at. I definitely recommend this option if you are trying to decide which you would like to do, although be careful because my mom did lose her phone over the lava fields! Also, make sure your hair is secured TIGHTLY. My hair-tie came out during the flight and it took me about 30 minutes to come out the mess that was my hair.
The flight was 45 minutes and took off out of Hilo Airport.
Overall, we enjoyed our trip and got to experience and see some really cool things that we would never get to see from the ground!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Aerial Introduction to the Big Island of Hawaii
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
The Island of Hawaii, nicknamed Big Island, lives up to its name and reputation for its massive size, active Kilauea volcano and majestic beauty is simply unrivaled like no place else in the world. The helicopter tour heats up by taking you up-close to the molten lava flows, Pu'u Oo vents, lava tubes and eruptions. Next you'll cool down as you soar over hidden waterfalls, Kohala coastline and tropical Waimanu Valley. Experience the ultimate flying adventure by taking a Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour to areas that are remote and inaccessible by ground for an unforgettable ride of a lifetime.
You can see all of this and the best aerial scenery from each of the Hawiaian Islands on our video production 'Visions of Hawaii', available through our e-store at bluehawaiian.com

THE BLUE HAWAIIAN DIFFERENCE There's simply no argument: Blue Hawaiian is Hawaii's #1 helicopter tour company. Blue Hawaiian's aircraft maintenance technicians have received the FAA's coveted Certificate of Excellence, Diamond Award every year since 1998. No other helicopter tour company in Hawaii has ever received this critical recognition. Blue Hawaiian was honored by the FAA for its record 12th straight year in January, 2009, at a ceremony in Honolulu, and the FAA further honored Blue Hawaiian with the very first Certificate of Excellence, Platinum Award. And Blue Hawaiian is the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii certified by the Department of Defense.
Welcome to the Blue Skies of Hawaii. Blue is the only helicopter tour company serving all four major Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. That means wherever you go in the Islands of Aloha, you know exactly how to get the world's finest aerial tours: just remember the color of the sky.
We don't just operate the best equipment, we help develop it. From the ultra-quiet, spacious, and powerful 21st-century Eco-Star helicopter to the breakthrough Garmin G500H technology, which gives our pilots astonishing three-dimensional synthetic vision terrain awareness in less than optimal weather; from our pioneering of multi-camera in-flight video, to designing vastly improved cockpit air-conditioning—Blue Hawaiian is always at the forefront of leading-edge innovations for your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Because when it comes to our guests, good enough is never enough.
The finest pilots in the sky. Blue Hawaiian prides itself on hand-picking only the finest and most experienced pilots—the absolute cream of the profession—and every one of them is a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide. Blue Hawaiian is also the only helicopter tour company in Hawaii with its own state-of-the-art Flight Simulator, and the only one that puts its pilots through annual factory and FAA recurrent training.

Helicopter Tour of Hawaii, volcano's, lava flows, waterfalls, rain forests, beaches, Pacific
Here are selected portions of our Helicopter Tour of Hawaii (the big island), on June 17th, 2019! Witness some flying over volcano's, craters, mountains, cooled lava flows from last years eruptions, huge waterfalls, lush rain forests, cities, airfields, beaches, and the mighty Pacific Ocean. We definitely recommend Sunshine Helicopters and especially our fine pilot Niels, who was very talented having flown as a Search & Rescue helo pilot, and in many U.S. states, as well as in Norway.

Mitchell's Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Ride, Big Island, Hawai'i
Mitchell went on a two-hour ride on the Blue Hawaiian EC130 B4 Eurocopter. The aircraft is state of the art, and the pilot, Toshi, is absolutely hilarious. The trip began in Waikoloa, took Mitchell over the waterfalls and valleys in Waimea and Hilo, and then across the volcanoes of Mount Kilauea, and then back to Waikoloa via Kona. It was an awesome ride.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - Full Tour (2018)
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established on August 1, 1916, is an American national park located in the U.S. state of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. The park encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano. The park provides scientists with insight into the birth and development of the Hawaiian Islands, and ongoing studies into the processes of volcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes, as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna.
In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2012, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was depicted on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters series.
On May 10, 2018 the park was closed to the public in the Kīlauea volcano summit area, including the visitor center and park headquarters, due to explosions and toxic ash clouds from Halemaʻumaʻu crater, as well as earthquakes and road damage. However, portions of the park, including the visitor center, reopened to the public on September 22, 2018.
Eruptive activity, ground collapses and explosions in the park ceased in early August. As of late September, the lull in eruptive activity at Kīlauea Volcano continues. At the summit, seismicity and deformation are negligible. Sulfur dioxide emission rates at both the summit and the Lower East Rift Zone are drastically reduced; the combined rate is lower than at any time since late 2007. Earthquake and deformation data show no net accumulation, withdrawal, or significant movement of subsurface magma or pressurization as would be expected if the system was building toward a resumption of activity.
