About big-island-helicopter-tours.com

Planning a helicopter flight over Kilauea, the Kohala coast, or the waterfalls of the Hamakua coast is one of the biggest decisions you will make on a Big Island trip. It is also one of the most expensive per minute. big-island-helicopter-tours.com exists to help you make that decision with clear eyes before you spend the money.

We are an independent guide to the helicopter tours and flight experiences sold in Kailua-Kona, United States. We read the listings, the traveller reviews and the practical details around them, and we put what matters side by side: routes, prices, departure bases in Kona and Hilo, safety information, and the weight and age rules that decide who can fly.

We do not run tours, hold bookings or take payments. Every flight on this site is sold and operated by a third party and booked on GetYourGuide.

Why this site exists

Ask a simple question, like what a doors-off flight over the volcano costs from Hilo, and you will find the same experience sold by several operators at different prices, with different inclusions and very different reviews. The listings rarely explain how they differ. Putting those differences next to each other is the whole job here, so you can compare before you commit.

Where the facts come from

Prices, durations, ratings, review counts, inclusions and cancellation terms are read from each tour's listing. This site currently compares 20 tours, and their listings were last checked on 3 October 2026. The full method is described on How We Research.

What we will not do

  • Accept payment from an operator to be listed or described in a particular way.
  • Make up ratings, prices or traveller quotes.
  • Claim to have taken a tour we have not taken.

How this site is paid for

When you book through one of our links, we may earn a commission from the booking platform at no extra cost to you. The Affiliate Disclosure explains what that does and does not change.
