Itinerary

  1. Air Maui Helicopter Tours

    30 min

    Maui helicopter tours meet at the easy to locate Kahului Heliport. Take to the air and enjoy Maui's diverse landscape of dormant volcanoes, rugged lava flows, lush tropical rainforests and deep valleys filled with cascading waterfalls. Maui helicopter rides are perfect because around 75% of Maui is inaccessible on the ground due to the extreme terrain and rainforests.

    Passing by

    Fly over the rainforest, waterfalls and coast line of East Maui
