Experience

 

Our partnership with Botanical World Adventures gives you the chance to combine a world-class helicopter tour, Family Helicopter Ride & Zipline, with another incredible adventure: ziplining! Whether you choose to zipline through the rainforest canopy or enjoy the lush botanical gardens from a ground tour alongside the zip route, you and your ohana (family) will love this family-friendly adventure.

 

Depart from the Kona Airport in a Bell 407, Hawai‘i’s premier touring helicopter. Fly over Kona’s famous coffee district on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa before making your way to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park to hunt for red, hot lava around Kīlauea, the world’s most active volcano, and Pu‘u ʻŌʻō Vent.

 

Descend into the Hilo Airport where our ground staff awaits to whisk you away to historic downtown Hilo for a short self-guided tour. Experience the culture, art and history of “Hawai’i Island’s biggest little town.” After exploring the museums and landmarks by the seaside, be sure to grab a quick lunch before Botanical World Adventures takes you to their tropical gardens where the adventure continues.
