Helicopter Ride

We opted for the helicopter tour ride around the island, as it is the best way to see everything. Most of the island (~20%) is privately owned, and additionally a significant part is preserved in parkland. On top of this, there are two enormous mountains smack dab in the middle of the island (extinct volcanoes) that limit access through the center of it. THE highway (yes, there is frustratingly just one) only partially encircles the island 3/4 of the way around, so driving isn't an option for all of it either. To the air! Get to the choppa! The waterfall you see is the same one featured in Jurassic Park, and owned by that super rich family (The Robinson's: hint, make friends). They issue land use/landing permits to people.

Pictures!
