Feel the Heat! Doors Off! Wind in your face! 2200 degrees molten, red hot lava!The unforgettable, unique, doors-off Volcano/Waterfalls experience provided us the chance to feel the heat of the world’s most active volcano! We felt the heat radiate from the lava as we experienced the volcanic activity firsthand and the sensation of flight in an open cabin…with no doors in the way. This was an adventure of a lifetime.
We flew in the world famous Hughes 500 (the same model helicopter Magnum P.I. used)! This amazing helicopter seats four passengers and everybody (minus the person who sits by the pilot) gets a window! Departing Hilo International Airport, we flew over the beautiful and lush rain forests of the Hilo area. We saw the world famous Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm, beautiful vistas of Mauna Loa (Hawaii's largest mountain), the current eruption of Kilauea, and beautiful Rainbow Falls. 
The scenery was unique. The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated islands on Earth and there is no better way to experience their splendor than by Helicopter. All of the professional pilots have a deep love of the islands and a fundamental knowledge about the area's volcanoes and natural landscape. We were able to view the flow of lava in its natural environment and receive a personalized narration of the science and magic behind Hawaii's constant volcanic activity. Of course, no Hawaiian helicopter tour would be complete without an additional focus on the lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls, and incredible shorelines of this Paradise of the Pacific.
Located at the foot of two volcanoes and overlooking the spectacular Hilo Bay, Hilo is the ideal destination for those who wish to catch a glimpse of the rough beauty of Hawaii's coastlines and fiery mountains. The city is known to locals as the "biggest small town" on the island, giving it a great combination of small-town aloha spirit and access to the kinds of shops and restaurants that make a vacation memorable.
