About Activity
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.

They were very organized and explained everything. We met a delightful couple from our cruise ship and spent time together on the ship until they left in New Zealand.
Wonderful flight.

Flying over volcanoes, the coast of Big Island with the majestic waterfalls was a dream come true thanks to blue H. Moreover our baptism in helicopter seeing beautiful landscapes added even more magic. We are French speaking hardly English but you don't need to understand the explanations of the pilot to know that he would make us spend unforgettable moments. And landing near a waterfall: moment of intense emotion!!! Thanks to Matt the pilot and the entire Blue H team. Peggy et Gregory (France).
