Tour Description

Be sure to arrive at the Kahului Airport 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to check-in, meet your pilot, and receive safety instructions. After taking off, your pilot will head over to Maui’s North Shore where you will get to see aerial views of the little town of Paia and also surfers taking on the huge waves at Hookipa. From there, you will rapidly gain altitude as you head up the mountainside of Haleakala to the crater of its summit at 10,000 feet. After exploring both Haleakala and Maui’s East Side your pilot will cross the island and head into the innermost parts of the West Maui Mountains. Some of Maui’s steepest valleys and highest waterfalls can be found hidden in these mountains. As the tour concludes, you will be treated to coastal views of Kaanapali and Lahaina before heading back to Kahului for landing.

The second half of the tour will be spent flying over the jungles and coastal areas of Hana. Though Hana is one of Maui’s most famous regions, it’s so large and rugged that it can be difficult to see all this magical area has to offer in one day. From the air, however, you will be able to check out jungles, bamboo forests, waterfalls, coastal cliffs, and much much more from hundreds of feet in the air. Once you and your party have thoroughly explored Hana, your pilot will head back towards Kahului to land.

Hana Coast

On this tour you will get to see the iconic jungle and waterfalls that surround the small town of Hana, but the coastline is equally as beautiful. Thousands of years of volcanic activity has shaped the Hana coastline into the beautiful and complex attraction that it is today. Be prepared to see huge sea cliffs, gorgeous waterfalls, and lava rock peninsulas jutting into the ocean.

How far in advance should I make my reservation?

We recommend booking your flight 1-2 weeks before your desired date. If you are a large group of people (6+) it is better to book 3-4 weeks in advance.
Why do I need to purchase a comfort seat and how much does it cost?

Due to the fact that helicopters are weight sensitive we are limited on the amount of weight available per person. Our weight restrictions are either per person or per couple. For a single person weighing 240 lbs or more a comfort seat is needed. If a couple’s combined weight is or exceeding 420 lbs a comfort seat needs to be purchased. The cost for the comfort see is the same price as a regular seat.
What is the price for children/toddlers?

It is an FAA requirement that any child that has reached their second birthday is occupied in their own seat. The price for children 2+ years old is the same as a regular seat. If your child is under 2 years old they are considered to be a lap child and are allowed to go at no additional charge.
Can we sit in the two front seats?

Yes, the two front seats can be reserved, but it will result in an additional purchase of $50 per person or $100 per couple. It should also be noted that if the seats are purchased by a couple their combined weight must be under 380 lbs.
Why are we told to wear dark clothing?

While dark clothing certainly isn’t a requirement, we always recommend guests wear dark clothing so there are fewer reflections on the cabin windows while they are taking pictures.
