What To Expect

There’s no better way to see Hawaii than from the seat of a helicopter, since most of the valleys, ridgelines, and waterfalls can only be viewed from the air. On this helicopter tour of the West Maui Mountains and Molokai, you’ll be instantly transported from Kahului Heliport to the heart of the ancient Hawaii, where it’s said that the bones of ancient chiefs are still secretly buried in these valleys.

Hover above ridgelines carved by 1.5 million years of wind and rain erosion, where mists cling to the bright green leaves of indigenous trees and ferns.

Staring out the window of the A-star helicopter—which has six, forward-facing seats—watch as dozens of cascading waterfalls carve rivulets down the cliffs. After circling the center of the West Maui Mountains, this Maui helicopter tour continues to Molokai for a flight past the world’s tallest sea cliffs, which dramatically plunge nearly 4,000 feet to waves crashing on the coast.

Throughout this helicopter tour of Maui, your expert pilot provides narration on history, geology, and wildlife, and a USB of the entire experience can be purchased at the end of the flight.

Molokai Harbor (Pass By)

Maui helicopter tours allow you to enjoy Maui's diverse landscape lush tropical rainforests and deep valleys filled with cascading waterfalls, and experience a part of Molokai that can only be seen from the air!

One of the highlights of our time on Maui
Suzanne_Z, Mar 2023
Our helicopter tour was amazing. We had beautiful weather and Dylan was an excellent guide. He made sure to point out whales and allow us a moment to snap photos of them. He did a wonderful job narrating the trip.
Worth every penny!
Catherine_M, Mar 2023
Expensive but worth every penny! I hesitated to spend the $ but this is a must do on my list now. The views were other-worldly! Kirk was a great pilot.
Amazing views
Christine_M, Mar 2023
Dylan was an excellent pilot. He was very informative of each location we visited. We saw the parts of the island that you wouldn’t be able to see. Highly recommend doing a helicopter tour.

Lawrence was an exceptional pilot! It was our first helicopter ride and did not want to leave the tour! Smooth and easy, the pilot took us close to breathtaking cliffs, more waterfalls than we could count, biewed vlose up places you can only see by air and was knowledgeable about the history of it all. Highly recommend this trip, worth every penny! Oleta from Texas
