Geographic Air Tours

Flight of a Lifetime

What's the best way to experience the Big Island? An air tour with Iolani. And we do it like no one else on the island. Climb aboard our Lava Plane or Exclusive Skyhawk, soar around the whole island, or circle over the volcano… without over paying. So now if you really want to see the best of Hawaii’s Big Island and save your vacation money for more things… you can. Tours include individual two way headsets to talk to the guide pilot. Everyone gets a window seat too.  See below for tour details...


"Boss, the plane, the plane"... Lava Plane that is...

Daily 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm
That's right. From Hilo Airport we fly a Lava Plane tour that's hot as the flow below. See Kilauea and over Rainbow Falls! Adventurous and intense.
This 1 hour tour leaves you awe struck and lots of time to do more things. 



Deluxe Tour for Two Exclusive 

Daily 7am, 10am, 1 or 3pm
Perhaps it’s been the volcanoes or cliffs, rain forest or desert, green sands or crystal shores. Or perhaps it’s been the snow dusted tops of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Now, just you and your partner alone can experience that same mystery which has lured wayfarers to this island for aeons. This tour is one of a kind in its combination of exclusivity and coverage for the price. Flight takes place in state of the art aircraft, and sights the Volcano plus 20 major points of geological/historic significance over the Big Island.

Epic 2.5 hour flight adventure follows Hawaii's Big Island coastline. Highlights include Kilauea Volcano, Rainbow Falls, Waipio Valley, Place of Refuge, Captain Cook, Coffee and Mac Nut Plantations- a real National Geographic type experience. Best trip for the price. 

Our Customers Say It Best



Fixation or Fixed Wing?
Helicopters are popular in Hawaii. A lot of folks wanting an air tour are fixed on doing it in a helicopter. Get the wallet out. A fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience is actually made up of four parts: equipment, route, pilot, and price. Iolani's customers have found true value in paying a competitive price to see and learn everything they can about the Big Island from highly qualified experts (see our Trip Advisor Reviews). So we use equipment that keeps the price down and our customers up in the air longer. For the operators of helicopters or turbine equipment to do what we do, they would have to charge $800 per person. So we ask folks, what's the fixation? It's Hawaii you came to see, yah?
