Experience Hawaii

Explore all five volcanoes, hidden white and black sand beaches, lush waterfalls cascading down 2,000 foot valley walls, breathtaking coastlines and 11 different climate zones.

Hawaii is the largest of the Islands and, thanks to Kilauea and Mauna Loa, it's still growing. Upon departure from Kona Airport, you will overfly the world famous Kona coffee district and the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa. Learn about the unique history, geology, and culture of the Big Island through a special twoway communication system that lets you ask the questions and get to you know your pilot. Arriving over Hawai'i Volcanoes National, you'll start the hunt for red, hot lava at Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, and continue around Pu'u O'o Vent.

In winter, you'll see snow atop Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Watch for the sun glinting off the handful of astronomical observatories positioned on Mauna Kea, where scientists have the best earthbound views of the universe. Then, you will head toward East Hawaii's lush rainforests and the incomparable Kohala valleys. The views here are so spectacular that even our pilots, who see them on a daily basis, often say this area is their favorite hidden gem to share with visitors and guests. Rounding out your trip, you'll enjoy a birdseye view of iconic beaches, including Hapuna Beach and Kua Bay, consistently voted as some of the best beaches in the world, on your return to Kona.
