About Your Tour
Experience Hawaiʻi’s most active volcano from both sky and land on this private Hawaiʻi volcano and helicopter adventure departing from Oʻahu. This exclusive journey combines a dramatic scenic flight with an in-depth guided visit to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, giving you an unforgettable look at the forces that continue to shape the Big Island.

Your day begins with an aerial tour over Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and Kīlauea, where you’ll soar above vast lava fields, craters, and the broad summit of the volcano. From the air, you’ll be able to look into areas that are impossible to reach on foot and, when conditions allow, glimpse active lava flows tracing glowing paths across the landscape.

After touching down, your experience continues with a guided ground tour of Kīlauea and the surrounding park. With an expert volcano guide at your side, you’ll visit key viewpoints and geological highlights, learn how eruptions have reshaped the island, and hear the cultural stories that connect Native Hawaiian traditions to this living landscape.

Seeing Hawaiʻi’s only continuously active volcano from both a helicopter and the ground is a rare opportunity and one of the most immersive ways to understand this powerful place. Because this is a fully private experience with limited availability, early reservations are strongly recommended.
