Core memory. We went last year in August with Island Helicopters, Isabella was our pilot, and this place is stunning! If you are able to get the landing tour, it's worth it!

Great visit to the falls via Island Helicopters!

What an experience if you have a chance to see it in person. These photos do not do it justice. It's an easy walk to the falls from where the helicopter lands.

A must do!! What an experience. The waterfall location we landed in was breathtaking. The pilot was very friendly and informative. Can't wait to come back.

Prior to the pandemic, I believe one copter company had the rights to land and tourist photos look great. The next best thing is the flyby which I've done on three different tours with three different companies. Best photos are from the doors-off tours. There are falls on the Big Island near the Kahana Forest that have drops of 2000-3000 feet the awe factor is much bigger, but the recognizeable tie to Jurassic Park opening makes this flyby quite interesting. I've done landing tours at other falls and I'm not real convinced its a value, but if you got the bucks to spare, do it and take tons of photos.
