About Waikoloa Heliport
Waikoloa Heliport (WKL) is a private-use helicopter facility serving Waikoloa Village and the Kohala Coast on the Island of Hawaii, the Big Island. Opened in 1988 and operated by Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, it functions mainly as a departure point for scenic helicopter tours rather than as a commercial passenger airport.
Located about 4 miles southwest of Waikoloa Village, the heliport sits close to the Waikoloa Beach Resort and major Kohala Coast hotels, making it convenient for visitors staying along the northwest coast. Its single asphalt helipad and compact base building are designed around tour operations.
The heliport is reached by road via Waikoloa Road and Highway 19, and guests typically continue by resort shuttle, taxi, private transfer or rental car. Kailua-Kona is roughly 21 miles to the southwest, while Waimea lies to the northeast.
With a check-in and briefing area, restrooms, a gift shop and secure helipad access, the facility offers a compact and efficient experience for travelers joining volcano, waterfall and coastline tours across the Big Island.
