Maui Helicopter Tours

Maui’s dramatically diverse terrain and easy access to neighbor islands makes it a prime spot for a helicopter tour. See the deep, velvet green canyons of the West Maui mountains, jump across the channel to Molokai for its awesome sea cliffs, or fly the meandering rural ‘aina (land) of Upcountry on your way to Haleakala crater, the top of the world’s largest dormant volcano. Around the backside, the Hana coastline is breathtaking as it winds through lush rainforests with roaring waterfalls to the contrastingly barren volcanic desert near the Kaupo gap. See it all in an hour!
