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.

We got to the area without any issues. If you get cold easily, bring a hoodie or something similar to keep warm. We scheduled the 45min ride over West Maui. We didn’t realize this would include flying over Molokai. The views were spectacular. The waterfalls and beaches and the blue of the water are simply amazing. If you have any type of motion sickness make sure to take something for it. One of our sons took the small dose, and in retrospect, he should have taken his max dose. He got a bit nauseated mid-trip.
Dylan was our pilot. He explained everything very well and provided information about every area we flew over.
This experience will not be forgotten.

The pilot Cameron was very nice, kept the helicopter flight smooth and gave a lot of great information.
Unforgettable memory with family
Patricia_J, Aug 2023
This was a lifelong dream of mine! Going up and taking our 4 kids and my hubby was incredible! This experience is a memory I will treasure my whole life! With all that was going on, our tour guide’s love for his island and the people there showed through! I never once felt unsafe, his experience and expertise was so calming. If you are hesitant (like I was) I will give you a strong push to follow through and book this! You will not be sad that you did!
Gorgeous experience in the air!
Christina_B, Aug 2023
Our pilot Cameron was so informative, and we saw the most gorgeous sites! (Starting with feeling like we were in Jurassic Park when they land their helicopter among the green canyons.) We were surprised by how absolutely GENTLE the ride was, even for take off and landing. Not a bumpy trip at all. Two thumbs up and five stars!!
1st time

Air Maui was awesome! Captain Kirk was great. He kept everyone engaged the entire flight and was very knowledgeable and a great pilot. My daughter and I will definitely remember our experience forever.

Unbelievable views- must do
Remi_D, July 2023
Was an amazing activity. I thought we would be scared of heights but it was so incredible we didn’t notice. So many views of untouched islands and waters. Must do! We had a family with kids that went with us and everyone had fun! Highly recommended.
Don’t miss this!!
