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.
HAWAII - The Big Island ???? | cinematic travel video with ziplining snorkeling hula dancing
A cinematic travel adventure video with ziplining, snorkeling and hula dancing of our trip to the Big Island also known as Hawaii.
We started on the green, tropical Hilo side of the island. The jungle there was amazing! We visited Akaka Falls and some local neighborhood waterfalls and beaches as well. Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens was like a scene out of the film Avatar with its unique, exotic tropical plants. And ziplining with Skyline Eco Adventures high over a 250 foot waterfall was absolutely breathtaking! As was our volcanoes helicopter ride with Safari Helicopters.

On our way to the Kona side of the island we visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Nahuku lava tube was cool, and the surrounding forest was beautiful. We were also able to witness the sheer size of the caldera at Kilauea volcano. We stopped by Punalu'u black sand beach, where we saw a green sea turtle resting on the shore.
One the Kona side of the island we stayed at the Aloha Guest House in Captain Cook. The Kona area is made for ocean activities. Our favorite snorkel spots were Honaunau and Kealakekua bays, the latter requiring either a 4 mile hike or a boat ride to reach. We also really enjoyed the performance at the Island Breeze Luau, with great hula and other Polynesian dances. If you love chocolate, you should visit one of the only places in the United States that grows and produces it locally at the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory. And you absolutely must do a snorkel at night with manta rays with Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures! It's an incredible experience to have giant manta rays brush up against you while they feed on plankton.
Footage includes ziplining with Skyline Eco Adventures ( a volcano helicopter tour by Safari Helicopters ( Akaka Falls, Hilo Farmers Market, Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory ( Island Breeze Luau hula dancers ( multiple snorkeling spots including Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau Bay, Punalu‘u black sand beach, the walk to Nahuku / Thurston Lava Tube at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a lava crater eruption, and a manta ray night snorkel with Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures (

Travel Guide: Hawaii's Big Island
The Big Island of Hawaii
The Big Island is the youngest Island of Hawaii, twice the size of all the other major Islands combined, covering over 4,000 square miles.
There are Twelve distinct climate zones, ranging from East Hawaii’s tropical rain forests to Mauna Kea’s frozen tundra
The Kona Coast lies immediately next to a huge ocean drop-off which descends thousands of feet to the ocean bottom. Kona is the home of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. Wether fishing from charter boats or piers, Kona gets fishermen hooked.
The Big Island, with her Crystal clear blue waters reveals a plethora of fish, sea turtles, dolphins and manta rays. Many snorkeling and scuba expeditions are open to every level of expertise. A unique experience for the advanced scuba diver is to swim into underwater lava tubes where eels, octopus and lobsters may be discovered.
The coffee plant was brought to Kona in 1828 by Samuel Ruggles. Today Kona coffee is one of the most expensive and prized coffees in the world.
Volcano is a subtropical highland community bordering Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It is near the active volcano Kilauea.
Kilauea Caldera is the longest continuously erupting volcano in the world, its present eruptive phase dates back to 1983
Driving over the new saddle highway between the Mauna Loa and The Mauna Kea is impressive. The Mauna Kea is the tallest sea-mountain in the world and, if measured from the ocean bottom, is 4000 feet taller than Mt. Everest
Cafe Pesto first opened in Kawaihae harbor in 1988 and their popular pizzas caught on and they opened their second restaurant in Hilo in 1992.
Hilo is a peaceful city with an airport, orchid farms and the recently renovated Double Tree Grand Naniloa Hotel. It was also where, in 1946 a 56-foot tsunami swept into Hilo Bay and caused 159 deaths and tore apart downtown Hilo.
Hilo had a second devastating tsunami 14 years later which destroyed downtown again.
The Pacific Tsunami Museum has exhibits which show how tsunamis have actually shaped the appearance and development of Hilo.
Nearby is the Mokupapapa Discovery Museum which explains the region’s coral reef ecosystem. A stunning 2500 gallon sea water aquarium shows some of the local reef fish.
Hawi in North Kohala is known as the bicycle turnaround point for the Ironman Triathlon each October. But it is also know for Bamboo - a Restaurant, bar and store. One of the island’s oldest restaurants, the Pacific Rim menu with fresh island fish and organic local produce is ono (delicious). The store has Hawaiian handicrafts and one of the largest selections of Aloha shirts from Torrie Richards and Avanti on the island.
King Kamehameha, believed to have been born in the North Kohala area, conquered most of the Hawaiian Islands unifying them into the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Today the Big Island is more like the Kingdom of Golf. With 22 golf courses, the region has some of the top rated courses in the world. At the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Golf Course, is a new addition for getting around the course called golfboards. You can surf the course on a GolfBoard which is a core workout attuned to snowboarding or surfing. It also speeds up the pace of play making an average round of 18 holes on the GolfBoard in only 2 hours and 37 minutes.
The Mauna Lani Resort features two championship courses, the Francis H. I’i Brown North and South Courses. There are some unique features on Mauna Lani’s courses Including the Hawaiian Goose or Nēnē which is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It is the official state bird of Hawaii
There are also goats, dozens of them which help keep the brush and grasses down. They are nature’s natural lawnmower. Most of the putting greens are Bermuda grass and balls tend to roll faster towards the ocean.
Cats are king at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, where ferrel kitties roam the sprawling property for treats and to help keep the rodent population at bay. The Mauna Kea was the brainchild of Laurence Rockefeller and was the most expensive hotel ever built in 1966 when it opened. The Kaunaoa beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii and in the winter offers exciting opportunities for boogie boarders and surfers.
Lava Lava also has some cottages that can be rented for those who want a spot where you can roll right from the bed to the beach.

About Hawaii -
There are six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii Island. You'll find each island has its own distinct personality and offers its own adventures, activities and sights. Mark Twain called Hawaii, That peaceful land, that beautiful land... the climate, one long delicious summer day, and the good that die experience no change, for they but fall asleep in one heaven and wake up in another.

Hilo Hawaii - Things To Do In Hilo Once Your Ship Docks At The Hilo Cruise Terminal
This is a simple video of the actual dock where Cruise Ships stop when in Hilo Hawaii. This can be a big help in planning your day if you are considering what to do once you get there like just walk around town or visit museums or instead take a more elaborate excursion.
The Hilo Hawaii Cruise Terminal is a short 2 1/2 mile drive from downtown Hilo. I made this short Hilo Cruise Port video to give you an idea of what to expect once you dock.
First of all you can see that it is an actual dock and you are not tendered into town on smaller boats like you are in ports like Kona and Lahaina on Maui.
The port didn't have any shops, restaurants or anything to offer those that would like to just hop off the ship for a couple of hours but you can take a free shuttle to the local Hilo Hatties store and Walmart-- But you probably didn't travel all this way to go to Walmart.
For a lesser priced excursion you could choose a Hilo city tour that includes the impressive Rainbow Waterfall, or you could be a bit more adventurous and travel to the top of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world. For more on Mauna Kea you might want to check out my video of the Big Island where we almost get snowed in at the top of the mountain and had to cut our excursion short.

Our taxi driver gave us a good tour of Hilo. We went to Rainbow Falls State Park, Volcanoes National Park, and a black sand beach.
ONE OF THE GREATEST BEACHES, HAPUNA BEACH - BIG ISLAND HAWAII
I've been pranked on the second day in Hawaii at one of the greatest beaches I've been too. Hapuna Beach. Early morning or sunset are the best times to see this beach as it gets a little crowed after 10am each day. $5 bucks to park and visit the sate park but well worth it. Each morning we spent hours here boogie boarding and body surfing. Sunsets are spectacular from the point well worth sending an evening here.
Hawaiian On The Move: This is Hilo Hawaii
Planning a trip to Hawaii but want some ideas other than Honolulu or Waikiki? How about Hilo? On this episode we will briefly cover the Town of Hilo my home. Hilo is the easternmost city of the state of Hawaii and has an average rainfall of 126 inches a year. Although it may be one of the rainiest towns in the world, when the sun is out Hilo shines brighter than any other city in all of Hawaii. That's why I am so proud to call it my home. I do not make any claim to the music you hear in this video and if you want to know the sound track go ahead and shazam it. If you liked the video let me know, and subscribe while you're at it. I also need to make a statement that my history accounts in this video may not be correct but feel free to do your own research, and the waterfall you see in this video is actually called Pe'epe'e Falls but growing up my friends and I would call it KPUA falls.

Hawaii Vacations - Big Island Ideas
The Big Island is actually named Hawai'i, but everyone calls it the Big Island to avoid confusion with the name of the entire chain of islands. The Big Island is home to the only active volcano, and you can theoretically ski and surf in the same day if the conditions are right. The island is the biggest in Hawai'i in terms of size, and contains a huge contrast of geological landscapes. The Kohala Coast, on the northwestern side, is where you want to stay if you're looking for beautiful beaches and perfect weather. The many luxury resorts located here offer world-class golf courses. Kailua-Kona and Keauhou are areas located more south on the west coast, and these areas are oceanfront on lava rock, with some of the world's best snorkeling and deep-sea fishing. Kailua-Kona is a cute little town. The sleepy and rainy town of Hilo is on the windward (east) side of the island, and only 40 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, where you can hike to see lava flowing into the sea.
