Paradise Helicopters is expanding service to Waimea-Kohala Airport on the Island of Hawaii with the launch of a new tour of the spectacular Kohala valleys and waterfalls.

These 30-minute, doors-off tours run in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon on Mondays and Thursday. Doors-on tours are also available.

“This new doors-off experience will put guests closer to the towering cliffs, waterfalls and valleys along the Kohala Coast on the northernmost point of the Island of Hawaii, one of the most beautiful and secluded areas in the state,” said Calvin Dorn, CEO of Paradise Helicopters. “This is an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the geography, history and incomparable lush beauty of Kohala.”

Kohala’s coastal cliffs and waterfalls reach 2,500 feet high, and are the result of a volcanic collapse and rainfall that has carved numerous deep valley ridges.

Tours start at US$324 per person. To book go to paradisecopters.com. Early reservations are recommended.
