What To Expect

Air Maui Helicopter Tours

Make your way to Kahului Heliport and hop aboard a luxury, air-conditioned helicopter, which holds six passengers in forward-facing leather seats. Once you’re airborne, sit back and listen to stereo music and descriptive narration from the professional pilot, who also serves as your tour guide.

Haleakala Crater

Throughout the 1-hour flight, enjoy unobstructed views while you soar above Maui’s extreme landscapes, including the dense Hana Rainforest of East Maui. Look down on waterfalls and the jaw-dropping Haleakala Crater, a dormant volcano with a summit reaching more than 10,000 feet (3,050 meters) above sea level in Haleakala National Park.

Haleakala National Park

After these sights, your flight continues to the West Maui Mountains, aka West Maui Volcano or Maui Komohana to native Hawaiians, best seen from the air. Snap photos of the diverse landscape including rugged lava flows, rainforest and deep valleys filled with cascading waterfalls such as the ‘Wall of Tears,’ a cliff draped with dozens of falls.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We booked the 60-minute, all-island tour. It was a good choice. One of us took a similar tour several years ago with Blue Hawaiian and preferred Air Maui. The helicopter held six passengers (three couples), plus Cameron, our pilot. He was obviously highly skilled. The ride was smooth as silk, and he took care not to surprise us with any sudden moves. We flew around Haleakala, over the Hana rain forest, then crossed the airport into West Maui. That was the best part of the ride, because Cameron flew deep into fantastic valleys. It was spectacular. And Cameron is very knowledgeable about so many subjects and happy to share that knowledge. The whole experience was just delightful and worth the money. We bought the video of the trip, and it's also worth buying. We got to experience the views again!

Mahalo Bruce for the wonderful review and feedback on your flight with Cameron. He sure does love to fly and has many years of experience here in the islands. I will be sure to share your kind words with our entire staff here. Thank you again for choosing to fly with us!

Paid for our trip, was given a scheduled time and then told we missed the trip (2 hrs earlier than our reservation stated) and that there was no refund and nothing they would do. Super disappointing and frustrating wedding anniversary adventure.

The check-in process was friendly and efficient, though it didn't take 30 minutes, and the staff was encouraging us to shop for logo wear while waiting. It was annoying that we had to pay $5 to park in the lot adjacent to the heliport. For the steep price of the tour, they could have thrown in the parking fee! Staff assigned us specific seats so there wasn't any scrambling for the "best seat". It's a small helicopter and there were 4 seats in the back and 2 in the front, plus the pilot. I had the right rear seat and was able to take ~300 shots with my professional camera during the tour, though some of them have parts of the helicopter intruding into the frame. I would have paid extra to be guaranteed one of the front seats! We boarded exactly on time after a staff member snapped our pictures in front of the copter. Captain Kirk was friendly and informative and addressed each of us by name numerous times during the tour. He did repeat himself a couple of times, so it seems he has given this same tour many, many times. We climbed straight away up above cloud cover to the rim of the crater, then descended nearer the coast line as we approached the rain forest. We flew into a particularly breathtaking gorge with waterfalls plunging hundreds of feet down the walls of greenery. We flew over pools and waterfalls and the Road to Hana. We flew over the north shore and then up into the "wall of tears", a beautiful gorge with 17 waterfalls. Then back to the heliport. We did NOT fly over the west coast or Kaanapali, thus the "complete island" description of the tour doesn't seem completely accurate. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful tour and the weather mostly cooperated with us. Though there were clouds here and there, they didn't seem to impair our visibility of the most sought-after sights on the island. I could have stayed up there several more hours - if it wasn't so costly.
