Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours

Great time. Recommend Mauna Loa helicopters. Such a fun experience. This is essentially a 4 place helicopter. A Robinson R-44. We root the trip with the doors off. Which is a great experience. It’s a bit windy. So if you have long hair, tie it or bring a baseball cap and wear your headphones over the cap. Awesome ride and views you simply cannot get from the ground. There are several helicopter companies. So do your research. We chose mauna Lia because my wife and i got a private experience. We also didn’t have to worry about weight limits. And no extra fees for sitting in the front. Tour went a solid hour. You see all the same things. All companies fly the same routes. The only difference is one company can land at the jurasek falls. Other than that. They are all the same. Just different versions of helicopters. Some take 6-7 passengers so you are not guaranteed a window seat unless you pay extra. But the Robinson helicopters are the only ones that can have the doors removed. Either one or all of them. So that is really a cool experience. And Mauna Loa offers jut 2-3 if you to go and you all have fantastic views.

This was the highlight to our trip to Hawaii. It doesn’t get any better than open door helicopter tour of Kauai. Waimea canyon and na Pali coast were breath taking from above. Julien (?) was our pilot and did a great job pointing out certain features. I even watched a whale breech from above. What a way to experience the actual day of our 25th wedding anniversary. I highly recommend!
