Scenic Helicopter Tour: Mountains and Waterfalls Features
Haleakala National Park
Haleakala is the highest point on Maui at 10,023 feet above sea level. Flying to the summit will allow you to see the Upcountry region on the slopes of the mountain as well as inside the crater itself. In Hawaiian, Haleakala means “House of the Sun,” and that name will feel very fitting when the summit is framed by a sunny blue sky.
Keanae Peninsula
Along the coastline headed out to Hana, be on the lookout for the Keanae Peninsula jutting out into the ocean. While it may look beautiful from the air, this is certainly not a place where you would want to swim due to the constant waves and jagged black rocks. The view from our helicopter lets you take in all that natural beauty without the danger or limited ground level view. Keep an eye out for the Keanae Congregational Church, which was the only building to remain after a devastating tsunami destroyed the rest of the village in 1946.
Hana
Hana is the name of the town nestled in the jungle’s of Maui’s East Side, but the name is also applied to the entire region. Hana is as rugged as it is beautiful, and from a helicopter you will be able to see the it’s unspoiled beauty on full display. Be prepared to see waterfalls, jungles, and coastal cliffs! This is one of the most naturally beautiful areas of the world, so be sure to take pictures.

Description
Upon takeoff, you will gain altitude rapidly on your way up the gentle rolling slopes of Haleakala. After reaching the summit, you will be treated to views of the unique and otherworldly landscape inside the dormant volcano’s crater. Some have compared it to the surface of Mars, others to the Moon, but either way you have never seen anything like it!
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.
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.
