Lift off from Kauai in your own private helicopter and witness Kīlauea’s active lava flows, glowing craters, and steam vents from a vantage point no ground tour can match. Your certified pilot navigates to optimal viewing angles over Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, then transitions to a guided ground exploration of the volcanic landscape. This rare two-perspective adventure—aerial and terrestrial—reveals the full scale and power of Hawaii’s only active volcano.
Embark on an extraordinary journey from Kauai to witness Hawaii’s only active volcano on this private helicopter tour.
