How high will the helicopter fly over the volcanic activity on the Big Island?
Currently the flight restrictions for helicopters flying over the recent volcanic activity is no lower than 3000 feet. In some residential areas they are flying higher to avoid unduly disturbing residents of the new eruption area.
Hawaii helicopters provide perhaps the most magnificent way to see the islands. The fact that fully 75% of the islands of Hawaii can only be seen from the air makes helicopter tours of Hawaii that much more special.
For over 20 years the fountains of fire have continued with tremendous intensity and today Mt. Kileaua is the volcano with the longest-lived rift activity in known Hawaiian volcano history.
