Paradise Helicopters
Paradise Helicopters on the Big Island of Hawaii offers spectacular flights visiting the many points of interest on the island. Departure points are either from Kona International Airport or from the Hilo International Airport. The helicopters used by Paradise Helicopters are either the spacious wide-bodied Bell 407 helicopters with executive seating and oversized windows for great viewing or the maneuverable Hughes 500 helicopters which are quite often flown on doors-off flights for great photography. With Paradise Helicopters you will be able to enjoy much of what the Big Island has to offer on a personalized tour aboard one of these four or six passenger helicopters. You'll be able to witness first-hand the awesome power of the Kilauea Volcano as you travel to the latest activity. Your entire flight will be narrated using aviation headsets that allow you to speak directly to your pilot. You can experience the volcanic rebirth of the island as well as the lush tropical rainforests and the majestic waterfalls of the Wailuku River. The diversity of Hawaii is yours to remember on this incredible journey. The tour options vary greatly and the most popular are probably the forty-five minute tours departing from Hilo International Airport and flying over the volcanoes of Kilauea at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Seeing this volcanic area from the air is really the single best way to observe this unique Hawaiian treasure as you will understand the entire scope and magnitude of the rift zones and volcanic activity. From land you are restricted (and rightly so) from going into some of the more active regions where there is live molten lava running in rivers through lava tubes and unstable lava plateaus and newly created lava shelves and ledges but from the air you can see it all and understand how it is evolving. You will often be able to see directly down into Pu'u O'o vent which has in recent years been the genesis of much of the lava flows and see the molten hot lava sloshing about in a splashing river of magma and you will be able to view the tributaries of lava often flowing down the mountain in lava tubes, many of which have cracked open and allow the view of molten rivers descending toward the oceans. When reaching the sea this lava explodes as it enters the water and creates plumbs of white gas and steam that travels hundreds of feet into the air above.…
