Big Island Volcanoes National Park 55-Minute Helicopter Tour

Aerial view of a bright orange lava river through dark rock with rising white steam, Big Island.

A shared Big Island helicopter of about 55 minutes over Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park lava fields and volcanic terrain, doors on from Hilo. Forward-facing seats for up to six, from US$406 per person. Glowing or active lava is not guaranteed.

This shared Hilo helicopter is built for Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park: about 55 minutes in the air with doors on, from US$406 per person, for up to six passengers in forward-facing seats. The path leaves the Commuter Terminal over orchid country and native forest, then works the park’s lava fields and volcanic terrain. Route language also names Kīlauea and Halemaʻumaʻu, the East Rift Zone, Mauna Loa views, Chain of Craters Road, and black sand beaches as candidate sights. Seeing glowing or active lava is never guaranteed — conditions change. No hotel pickup; meet at the green-roof Commuter Terminal, 2220 Kekuanaoa Street, Hilo. Arrive 45 minutes before departure for check-in, weighing, and a safety briefing, or earlier if your confirmation says so. Bring photo ID. An extra seat may be required from 113 kg (250 lbs), or when two people together exceed about 191 kg (420 lbs). Ages 2 and up. Year-round when weather allows. Live times and prices show when you book. Choose this when park lava fields and crater country are why you flew. Choose the Hamakua Coast and Valleys Experience when cliffs, waterfalls, Waipiʻo, and Waimanu are the day instead.
