Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Maui?
Maui is accessible by multiple flights and ferries, depending on the location from where you are coming. Ferries have various departing times throughout the day, coming from the islands of Lānaʻi or Molokaʻi, and take about an hour. Most individuals will travel between islands by plane, using Hawaiian, Mokulele or Island Airlines.
For what type of group is this event best?
A helicopter tour is ideal for any group, whether that be a family, couple, travel group, or work team. It will provide a positive experience to do together, with documented memories to share with people back home.
If I am pregnant, can I do a helicopter tour?
It is recommended that women in their 3rd trimester talk with their doctor before flying. Due to the low altitude of the flight, pregnant women in their 1st or 2nd trimesters are permitted to ride without restrictions.
