Big Island Land and Air Tour Reveals Volcanoes, Waterfalls, and Aerial Splendor


An immersive full-day adventure on Hawaiʻi Island offers travelers a rare opportunity to witness the powerful natural forces that continue to shape the Big Island’s evolving landscapes. Beginning in Hilo, the journey unfolds across volcanic terrain where dramatic contrasts between steaming ground, lush rainforest, and rugged lava fields define the region’s striking character.


The ground portion of the tour explores Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, where visitors can observe the island’s volcanic heart. Highlights include expansive crater views and a walk through the ancient Thurston Lava Tube, formed by flowing lava and now surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. Along the way, sweeping coastal vistas reveal how past eruptions have shaped the island’s dramatic shoreline.


The journey also incorporates moments of tranquility at cascading waterfalls, offering a peaceful counterbalance to the raw volcanic energy. These natural features provide opportunities for reflection and photography before the experience transitions to the skies.


The aerial segment elevates the adventure further with a helicopter tour over active volcanic zones and rainforest-covered valleys. From above, travelers can see intricate lava patterns, deep fissures, and towering waterfalls cutting through the landscape. Combining expert narration, seamless transportation, and both land and air exploration, this experience delivers a comprehensive and unforgettable perspective on Hawaiʻi’s raw geological power and tropical beauty.

We had a terrible experience with Safari Helicopters in Hilo. I clearly requested and confirmed our flight for Monday, August 4, 2025, but on arrival we were told it had been booked for the following day, despite having written email evidence. This mistake caused major disruption to our family holiday — forcing us to rearrange plans, drive more than three hours unnecessarily, miss out on other attractions, and incur additional costs. Even after providing written proof of the correct date, Safari refused to take responsibility or offer a fair resolution. Their response felt dismissive and unhelpful, leaving us out of pocket for an issue entirely beyond our control. If you plan to book with them, triple-check all dates and written correspondence before paying. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I wouldn’t trust Safari Helicopters to handle bookings accurately or to stand by their customers when errors occur.

I booked the volcano tour tru the Chase travel portal. We took our flight last week on Sep 19th. This was the best experience I have had so far with helicopter tours in the US. From the moment we got to the airport until we left, the staff was amazing and very friendly. Our pilot was Andrew, he did a great job and made sure everyone had a pleasant flight. He also answered all the questions the group had and provided us with very interesting facts about Hawaii and its volcanoes. We were very lucky to have a clear day with light winds. Kīlauea volcano started erupting few hours before our flight which made our flight an unforgettable one. On the way back we had the chance to fly over some waterfalls just west of Hilo. Overall, they offer an excellent service and a great price. The flight lasted around 55 minutes. Definitely we will book another flight with them when we go back to Hawaii. Bring cash, $1 bills or quarters to pay for parking since it doesn’t take credit cards.
