Hilo Volcano Plane Tour
After making your way to the nearby Hilo airport, you will check in and have a safety briefing. Then you will climb aboard your GippsAero Airvan or Cessna Skyhawk for a unique and fascinating perspective on the ever-changing colors and landscape of Hawaii's most famous volcanoes from a height of no more than 1500 feet.
Your adventure begins as you fly over a dense tropical rain forest and then to famous Volcanoes National Park. Volcanoes National Park is home to two of the world's largest and most active volcanoes. As you fly over Kilauea Volcano, keep your eyes open for active lava. The park is more than just dramatic volcanic landscapes. The area in and around the volcanoes is also a refuge for the island's many native plants and animals.
Your flight will also take you over the giant macadamia nut plantation, and pass Rainbow Falls. Total flight time is approximately 60 minutes and reaches heights of 5,000 feet.
After returning to the airport, staff can help you hire a taxi back to the cruise pier which is approximately 5 minutes away.
