Want to aerially explore all the hidden treasures of the Big Island during your Kona vacation, but don’t have loads of money to take a helicopter tour ? Then airplane tours of Hawaii are your solution. The Big Island is largely inaccessible by land vehicle or on foot, so the best way to tour the island is from the air. The fuel use of small craft planes is considerably less than helicopters and small Hawaii airplane tour companies generally have lower overhead expenses. The savings are passed on to you, making airplane tours of Hawaii one of the most eco-friendly and economical ways to experience the majesty of the Big Island. Aerially tour the emerald jungles and cascading waterfalls of the Hāmākua Coast, witness the fiery lava flows of Kīlauea, the world’s most active volcano, soar past the spectacular 14,000-foot summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and explore the rugged, towering sea cliffs and pristine coastline of the Big Island’s north shore.
Kona Hawaii Airplane Tour Operators
If you want to avoid the tourist crowds and experience an intimate Hawaii airplane tour for a party as small as two passengers, go with Island Hopper Airplane Tours. Island Hopper has been offering personalized Big Island air tours from Kona Airport since 1986 and is the only air tour company that will guarantee your flight time even if the craft is not full. Big Island Air is the island’s oldest airplane tour company, offering excellent fixed-wing craft tours in their 9-passenger Cessna Caravan. Big Island Air offers two tour packages out of Kona Airport, and also exclusive charters to multiple islands. Both Island Hopper and Big Island Air fly over the waterfall-dotted Hāmākua Coast and the west shore’s pristine white and black sand beaches, along the Kōhala Coast’s dramatic sea cliffs, and over the spectacular active lava flows of Kīlauea Volcano. The knowledgeable pilots at both companies will share a wealth of cultural lore and botanical, geological and historical facts during your Hawaii Island tour .

Imagine yourself soaring like a bird over the remote lush valleys, hidden waterfalls, and active lava flows of the Big Island. If this sounds merely like an amazing dream, well, an airplane tour can make your dream come true! The Big Island boasts a terrain that is largely inaccessible by land vehicle or on foot, so the best way to tour the island is from the air. Small craft planes use considerably less fuel than helicopters do and the savings is passed on to you, making airplane tours one of the best, most eco-friendly, and economical ways to experience the exquisite beauty of the Big Island. And of course the photo opportunities from an airplane are like no other! If you’ve been searching for things to do in Hawai’i’s Big Island , we highly recommend an airplane tour!

Great views.
Wonderful island and volcano views from above, they make sure to take you up when sights will be great!
Helicopter tour is always a wonderful experience
I’ve done this more than 5 times and every trip is different and wonderful. Great way to see more of the island without driving. Love all of the employees. It’s a great experience. Last time in March 2022 we took three g ... more randsons and son in law. Very fun trip. They have a fantastic time. This time I took a friend who had never been to island. We again had a fabulous trip. Thank you ❣️
Clear Skies!
We got a great morning, very clear skies and gorgeous views of the volc nat park!
Great Views!
Awesome to get to see the volcano from above to understand it much different then walking through
A great flight
Since we did this the day before leaving, it was really fun to see lots of places we'd visited on the ground from the air, and to get a better view of crater road through the park. The kids loved having the headsets and ... more microphones, and asked lots of questions. The pilot was very patient with them and had taken the trouble to learn their names and really interact with them. He also accepted requests for minor deviations from his flight plan to see particular things, flying into clouds so that we could get a better view of a rainbow. They also take video of the whole trip, and we wound up paying for that too since it seemed reasonably priced compared with the cost of the overall experience.
It was a wonderful flight. My youngest daughter first time in one. We were lucky and saw a whale
