Big Island coastline from the air

During our 2017 trip to the Big Island, we decided it was time we took a helicopter ride to see Kilauea. Along the way, we saw some spectacular sights. Right out of the gate, we saw this fabulous view of the Big Island coastline. As you can see, it was a cloudy day—we’d had a lot of rain for the previous couple of days. But despite the rain, we loved every minute of this ride. It was smooth as could be and we had a very informative guide.

You can plan the trip, book the helicopter, have the camera, but can't control the weather. We had clouds and rain on our Big Island tour, but it was a blast anyway!
