Haleakala—the world's largest dormant volcano! Gaze down at the beautiful Hana Rainforest Preserve on your way to the famous Seven Pools of Oheo Gulch, where bamboo trees line the forest and dozens of waterfalls cascade into the tiered pools below.
From the Alpine-like vistas of upcountry to the lush landscape of the Hana Rainforest Preserve and the rugged beauty of the East Maui shoreline, this Maui helicopter tour will be nothing short of thrilling!

The landing up on the mountain was absolutely breathtaking. Our pilot Matt was fantastic, and I’d definitely recommend asking for him.
The helicopter experience with our pilot, Pete, was a great one. We took off from Kahului and headed north for the trip. The weather was great on this particular afternoon (we chose the 4:45 departure). I was told by Pete that whether you chose the morning or the afternoon each one had it’s benefits. The experience was exactly as billed with great views, interesting commentary and the ability to ask questions. We went as a family with kids of 11 and 9. The 9 year old gets motion sick often but this was comfortable enough for her not to be too upset. It’s a 6-seater and they load you to allow for decent weight distribution and I managed to have a chat and got a front seat alongside my son (I swapped with my wife). There was also another couple with us too. The only reason this was not a 5-star rating is because I think there could be a little more notice around weather events. That said, this was a re-schedule from a failed attempt to take-off in Hilo due to inclement weather - so Blue Hawaiian did make sure we got a helicopter ride. Would book again with them.
Excellent views and excellent pilot. Chris was great and he talked to us about the island's history and interesting locations throughout the flight. The seats are comfortable and the windows are large and easy to see through, even in the middle seat. Would highly recommend, it could quite possibly be the highlight of your trip to Maui.
