Thanks to its unique geographical features, the Big Island offers an exceptionally diverse assortment of places to go and things to do. So when two of its premiere tour operators dream up a new private charter adventure, you can expect an impeccable outcome.
Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and Hawaii Forest & Trail have launched a Waterfall Helihike excursion that goes beyond hiking to a roaring waterfall, beyond swimming in a mountain pool, and even beyond taking a helicopter flight over the island's wild and stunning terrain. On this tour, you can do it all.
This isn't a short trip. Expect to be out of touch for about six hours. The schedule is flexible in that you can choose to hike first and then be picked up by a helicopter or you can take the trip in reverse—fly in and drive out. Either way, you'll be in the air about 45 minutes, hiking and swimming for about three hours.
