Witness one of Earth’s most geologically active zones on a 14-hour volcano tour combining helicopter flight from Oahu with customizable ground exploration. Your route adapts in real time based on current volcanic activity—see flowing lava, tropical rainforests, and waterfalls from the air, then choose your ground stops from lava tubes, black sand beaches, and cultural landmarks. Every element bends to your schedule, fitness level, and interests, from early morning to afternoon departures.
This extraordinary full-day adventure transports guests from Oahu to the Big Island for an immersive exploration of one of Earth’s most geologically active environments. The helicopter portion of the tour focuses on the most current areas of volcanic activity, offering aerial views of lava flows, lush tropical rain forests, and cascading waterfalls while providing insight into the rich history and culture of Hawaii. From above, passengers witness the dramatic landscape shaped by volcanic forces that have been continuously active since 1983.
The ground tour component brings guests up close to some of the Big Island’s most treasured sites. Stops include the striking Blacksand Beach, where volcanic minerals create a dramatic shoreline, and the serene Liliuokalani Gardens. Guests also visit Big Island Candies, view the iconic Kamehameha Statue honoring Hawaii’s legendary unifying king, and take in the beauty of Rainbow Falls, where mist and sunlight often combine to create colorful displays above the cascading waters.
