The Big Island of Hawaii
Helicopter tours full of breathtaking possibilities
Nowhere else on earth is quite like the Big Island. Sprawling over 4,000 square miles, it is the largest island of Hawaii—nearly twice as large as all the other Hawaiian islands combined. The Big Island of Hawaii is also one of the most climatically diverse places on earth, with cascading waterfalls thousands of feet high, lush rainforests, snow-capped peaks, and Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano, which you have to see to believe.
This extraordinary island is truly bursting with life and there’s no better way to witness its beauty and majesty than from the sky! Our Big Island helicopter tours take you on epic sightseeing adventures—from the steep coastal cliffs and ancient settlements of the Waipio Valley to the jaw-dropping lava fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
An authentic Hawaiian experience that you won’t soon forget.

End of an era: helicopter owners' fond farewell , calvin and stacey dorn retire after 25 years as owners of paradise helicopters.
KAILUA-KONA, HI / MAY 3, 2024 / After 25 years of dedicated service and leadership, K&S Helicopters, Inc. dba Paradise Helicopters announces the retirement of its owners, Calvin “Cal” and Stacey Dorn. The transition marks the end of an era and the celebration of Paradise Helicopters' legacy as a committed, community-centric small business in Hawaii.
Since its establishment in 1999, Paradise Helicopters has been an integral part of the aviation community in the Hawaiian Islands, renowned for its unmatched service to both its loyal customers and the broader community. With a commitment to giving back and nurturing its Paradise Helicopters ohana, the company has consistently demonstrated its dedication. Notably, Paradise Helicopters has been swift to respond to significant state events, such as providing aid during the 2018 lava eruption and providing firefighting support during the 2023 Lahaina fires plus countless others. Founded by Cal and Stacey Dorn with just one helicopter based in Hilo, Hawaii, the company has since blossomed into a multi-aircraft service offering a diverse array of tours, exclusive private charters, and commercial services spanning multiple islands.
Cal and Stacey would like to express a heartfelt mahalo to their partners, customers and Paradise Helicopters ohana for 25 wonderful years of successful business in Hawaii as they look forward to spending more time with their four children, grandchild and friends as they enter into their retirement.
Tour, charter and utility operations conducted by Paradise Helicopters will be suspended as of May 4, 2024.
