Operated by Rainbow Helicopters · Kailua-Kona, HI
Hovering above the Big Island's rugged western shore, the helicopter carves a steady path along the Kona Coast, a landscape shaped by intense lava flows and kissed by Pacific trade winds. The flight begins quietly, tracing the ancient Kaloko Fish Ponds—stone-walled bays that once stretched seawater for native Hawaiians' aquaculture. From there, Kailua Bay flickers below with calm blue water that invites surfers and paddleboarders alike, while the iconic Ali‘i Drive hums with life just beyond the coast.
