Blue Hawaiian Waikoloa Headquarters
Overview
Experience the Best of Hawaii Island by Air and Land
Join us for an unforgettable adventure exploring Hawaii Island’s diverse landscapes by air and land. This exclusive experience combines a breathtaking helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and an expertly guided ground tour with Hawaii Forest & Trail.
Soar Above with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
Your aerial adventure begins in Waikoloa, where you’ll lift off and soar above the island’s dramatic volcanic formations, cascading waterfalls, and the majestic Kohala Coast. Witness the grandeur of the legendary Waipi’o and Waimanu Valleys as they carve through the Kohala mountains.
Explore by Land with Hawaii Forest & Trail
Discover the wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Preserve, with your expert interpretive guide. Trek through lush rainforests, explore lava tubes, and marvel at diverse volcanic landscapes. Enjoy short walks, scenic drives, and gain in-depth knowledge about the world’s most active volcano.
The Big Island Experience
This unique tour allows you to experience the island’s contrasting landscapes in a single day. From the lush valleys, towering waterfalls, and 1,000-foot sea cliffs of the Kohala volcano in the north to the raw beauty and active volcanic landscapes of Kilauea in the south, this is an adventure you won’t forget!
Efficient and Convenient
Our air and land tour cuts travel time in half by flying one way and driving the other, departing from or arriving at a private landing zone just minutes from the park entrance. Avoid the 6-hour roundtrip drive from most resorts and maximize your time exploring the island’s natural wonders.
