Helicopter Tour

Ty and I were able to fly on the Blue Hawaiin Helicoptor tour. This is one of our favorite things we did on the island. This beach was called Kee Beach (Kay-A for Utah pronounciation).

You may recognize the waterfall in this picture it has been named the Jurassic waterfall because Jurrassic Park the movie was filmed here. This waterfall can only be accessed by air and is on private property owned by the Robinson family. The Robinson family happen to own 60,000 acres and run a sugar cane farm, which was purchased by the grandmother for 8,000 dollars. We were able to see their vacation home on the hill and their many hunting cabins throughout their property. We happened to run into two of their private helicoptor pilots on the zipline tour.

This was the beautiful Na Pali coast with many private beaches that can not be accessed by the public. We were told that in the old Hawaiian civilization that they used to bury their dead here in the sand. This is considered to be a sacred spot to the natives, when the tide gets high, unfortunately it sweeps away some of the bodies from the sandy graves. In 1920 the very last native living here decided to "put some pants on and go to civilization" from what our guide told us. That is what Ty and I had to do to come home, it was unfortunately time to put our pants back on literally and come back home.

Bright neon green is the color of these mountains and I think this shot captured the colors well.

Another beach that Harrison Ford filmed 6 days 7 nights on where he runs through the tunnel that is in this lava rock. Our pilot for our helicoptor tour personally flew him down here to this beach.

Tunnels beach is what this is called. The water was "windex blue". You can see the reef.

Another close shot of the Na Pali coast (Na-Polly). They called these peaks cathedrals.

Here is a better look at where the tunnel goes through the rock. You can drop me off at this beach and I would be just fine.

This is a look at the Waimea Canyon, it is huge and is called the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific".
Sheep and wild pigs are found here.

This is a cattle ranch owned by the Rice family. I think even the cows have the life!
