From East Hawaii to the Kohala valleys and waterfalls, my mouth was agape nonstop. This was the Hawa

We flew into Hawaii in the dark. The view from the airplane tom cruise and sofia vergara window was black; I couldn t even tell when we were about to touch down. We drove to our resort in the dark, again with zero visibility of The Big Island. I couldn t tell if we were surrounded by a luscious tropical forest or an endless mound of dirt. So when we sat in the helicopter for our Paradise Helicopters tour it was like we had been blindfolded for the unbelievable unveiling making our experience that much more drastic. We were about to embark on the Volcano and Valley tom cruise and sofia vergara Landing tour and experience The Big Island from the next level. Five major volcanos, breathtaking mountain ranges, stunning white and black sand beaches, lush waterfalls, 2,000 valley walls, dramatic tom cruise and sofia vergara coastlines, 11 different climate zones, and a touch down lunch—this is Hawaii Paradise Helicopters style!
The unique scenery we encountered during our air adventure is attributed to the fact that The Big Island is the largest and youngest island in the Hawaiian islands chain. It s larger than all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined, and it s impossible to view all of it from the ground.
We started with an exploration of the activity at Kilauea crater, which was Darren s favorite part of the adventure. Searching for volcanic action, we weaved over hot spots and turned left and right for the best views. There is something about the massive destruction and chaos of volcanos tom cruise and sofia vergara that draws men. The four men in the helicopter outnumbered the three women and they each yelled with excitement every time we saw red skylights . The scorched, black land was a drastic contract to the lush rainforest tom cruise and sofia vergara of East Hawaii that we saw next.
From East Hawaii to the Kohala valleys and waterfalls, my mouth was agape nonstop. This was the Hawaii tom cruise and sofia vergara I had envisioned and the endless beauty I had hoped to witness firsthand. Hundreds of waterfalls and rivers make this landscape lush and green. Beautiful tom cruise and sofia vergara coastal communities and mountain roads give this area a warm and inviting feel. It was in this beauty that our group landed at an exclusive location atop a mountain tom cruise and sofia vergara accessible only with Paradise Helicopters. We took the opportunity to get out of the helicopter and experience the amazing wonder first hand. It was a full senses experience. I breathed tom cruise and sofia vergara in the fresh scents, listened to the birds and the leaves rustling in the air, stepped onto the fresh mountain grass, looked out over the valley, and shared a delicious lunch with Darren. We were on top of the world.
As a grand finale, we flew over the white sand beach resorts of Waikoloa and we were able to see our resort, Hilton Waikoloa Village , from above. The Kohala and North Kona resort area is home to many of the islands most exclusive hotels and resorts. Flying along the coast, we saw some of the most amazing beaches and bays the island has to offer. Crystal clear blue and emerald waters, coral reef, and white sand beaches were a normal view on this coast of The Big Island.
I had no idea that The Big Island was a land of such stark contrasts. The helicopter flight opened our eyes to the possibilities on Hawaii. As first time visitors to Hawaii, there was no better way to explore the entire island than from a bird s eye view. Paradise Helicopters unveiled the world.

That volcano tom cruise and sofia vergara looks incredible! And what a stark contrast to the lush green forests surrounding it. If I ever visit Hawaii I will be sure to take a helicopter ride now, the landscape looks amazing. Great shots too, I imagine it s not that easy out of a helicopter!
Gorgeous, Lesley. tom cruise and sofia vergara Barry and I went here on our honeymoon (Hawai i and Kauai), 26 years ago and took the same helicopter tour. We both got sick! But, loved the view from above Our highlight was a tour of Waipi o Valley (3rd from last picture) on horseback. I m a very good rider and had a spanish pony, and one of the few residents of the valley took us around including his paradise home: a small place, with taro and fruit, his kids playing in the falls. At the time, they bathed in the waterfalls! tom cruise and sofia vergara We became pen pals for a while, and I sent his kids books for a few years in 1992 Hurricane Iniki came and wiped out the valley, and much of Kauai as well. We go often to Hawaii and NEVER get tired of it. It is such a unique part of the US the most foreign state, I think. So special, culturally, geographically and in so many other ways! Glad you re enjoying it.
