Hana - Haleakala Helicopter Tour

Overview
Climb above central Maui and ascend the world's largest dormant volcano, "Haleakala" (literally "house of the sun"). Discover its immense moonlike crater with pure iron oxide cinder cones towering over 1,100 feet tall. See Kaupo and Ko'olau Gaps, the huge lava flows from the crater to the sea. Hana's nearly uninhabited "back side" is home of the "Seven Pools" and Lindberg's grave. The Hana Rain Forest extends for over 180 square miles along Maui's northern coast and is the largest tropical rain forest in our nation. Tour includes views of Old Hana Town, Haleakala National Park, Kipahulu, the taro fields of Ke'anae, fabulous coastline waterfalls and the world famous Ho'okipa windsurfing beach on the return. Whale watching when in season.

A very stimulating experience viewing the island of Maui from above. No better way to view the extinct volcano, magical coast line and waterfalls, overall topography in general. The pilot was informative and everyone had a wonderful time. It was over in such a short time. Next leg of adventure was the van tour around the coast line. Great stops and lunch break. Once again another entertaining tour guide that pointed out to relevant sights along the way. Two thumbs up for Sunshine Tours!

Pete our pilot took us over the backside of Haleakala and then along the north shore. We were keen to see Pe'ahi and Pete made sure we could see it, as well as all the surf breaks along the coast. It's worth paying the extra to get the front seats. Thanks to Pete and the team.

Matt was our pilot and I don't think he was very experienced, for one thing he did not create his passengers he did not look at them or smile just stared at a piece of paper on his lap. Throughout the tour he said very little, did his routine like a machine or robot and headed back. Huge waste of money and time!!!
