Air Tours & Scenic Flights on the Big Island of Hawaii

See the Big Island from a thrilling new perspective on scenic air tours that soar over volcanic landscapes, dramatic coastline, and lush tropical valleys. From small-plane sightseeing flights to introductory flight lessons where you take the controls, air tours offer unforgettable views of Hawaii's largest and most geographically diverse island.

Small aircraft provide an intimate aerial experience with large windows, excellent visibility, and the ability to fly lower and slower than jets — perfect for sightseeing and photography. Routes typically cover Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Hamakua Coast waterfalls, and the Kohala Coast, offering a comprehensive overview of the island's dramatic geography.

For aviation enthusiasts, introductory flight lessons let you take the controls of a small aircraft under the guidance of a certified flight instructor. These "discovery flights" provide hands-on flying experience while enjoying spectacular views — and count toward a private pilot certificate if you choose to continue training.
