Kona: Kohala Coast And Waterfalls

Visit this hidden gem of the tropics, where graceful 2500' waterfalls tumble down steep volcanic cliffs covered in lush vegetation before flowing out to sea.

Fly with Paradise to the Kohala valleys to hover amidst the breathtaking 2,500-foot waterfalls and sheer cliff faces. En route, you will witness frozen lava flows on the Kona and Kohala coasts from the 1801 Hualālai eruption and the 1859 Mauna Loa eruption, which traveled over 31 miles before reaching the coastline. Dotting the shoreline along the way, you can pick out pristine white and black sand beaches - including Mahai’ula, Kiholo, Anaeho’omalu and Hāpuna – to visit during your stay! Upon arriving to the lush landscape of Kohala, your pilot will not only show you its rugged coastline, home to dramatic valleys, but will also educate you about this region’s significance in Hawaiian history as the birthplace of Hawai’i’s most famous ali’i (nobility), Kamehameha the Great. Departing from the Kona International Airport, this 60-minute tour is a great choice for guests wanting to see the beauty of Kohala, without sacrificing beach time for drive time.

Reviews

I've taken multiple tours with Paradise and they are always fantastic. Seeing Hawaii from the sky is truly an awesome sight. They were so helpful for my stepfather who is disabled and needed some assistance into the helo. Mooch was our pilot and he took the time to chat and hang out with my family prior to the flight which was just so sweet. He made sure to turn so that both sides of the helo got to see the good stuff. I will continue to take my visitors on tours with them as it's a great value for the price in every way.

A last minute reservation led to this magnificent 40 minute ride. The people were very professional and cordial. Our pilot did an amazing job pointing out attractions and flying like a champ. The ride was amazing and well worth it. We recommend it to anyone and everyone. Best way to see the island and get ideas of where you want to explore.
