This helicopter tour, which lasts for 2 hours, offers all that and more. This Maui tour, in reality, will fly you not only over Maui, but also over the Big Island to the east. That's right-- you get 2 adventures for the price of one!

1. The Best Maui Tour
Most Maui tours feature the incredible beauty of the island by taking you through it on the
ground, or helping you explore its surrounding waters. Few of them, however, put you a few
hundred feet above the island in order to discover it from a unique, aerial vantage point. On
this two-hour helicopter tour, however, that’s exactly what you’ll get—and then some! You
see, the best tour of Maui is actually a two-pronged getaway, wherein you’ll not only see
Maui’s finest sights, but those of the neighboring Big Island, as well.
This helicopter tour, then, begins when you take off from Kahului. Once you’ve ascended,
you’ll find virtually endless panoramic viewing, thanks to the helicopter’s wraparound
glass; in other words, every seat is a window seat! At that point, you’ll race off to Haleakala
National Park for a glimpse at the more famous and larger of Maui’s two mountains. After
all, Haleakala makes up three-quarters of the island’s total surface area; and at its 10,000-
ft.-tall apex, Puu Ulaula, it is almost twice the height of the highest peak of the West Maui
Mountains, Puu Kukui. Hovering above the summit of Haleakala, you’ll gaze down into its
steep, deep, and barren caldera, which will make you feel as though you’re on Mars. It
covers above 14 square miles, and maxes out at 2,600. ft. deep!
What once began as a strict tour of Maui, however, will soon change as you make your way
south to the Big Island. You’ll fly over the Alenuihaha Channel, and appreciate the glistening
azure waters of the Pacific Ocean en route to the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. Upon
arriving at the Big Island, you’ll visit Kohala, the northernmost and oldest of the five shield
volcanoes that comprise the Big Island’s land mass.
Then you’ll fly eastward toward the rainier half of the island, and there discover lush
landscapes, dense rainforests, and spectacular valleys. You’ll even streak over the famous
Road to Hana, which cuts through over 50 miles of glorious tropical terrain on its way to the
remote town of Hana. As you do, you’ll get to see some of the Big Island’s black sand
beaches and even more rugged parts of its coastline. In other words, this excursion, which
is technically a tour of Maui, is better than most formal Big Island tours!
After seeing the eastern end of the Big Island, your pilot will fly you back over the
Alenuihaha Channel toward Maui, at which point you’ll get one last look at its sandy
beaches and countless acres of rainforest prior to landing. Speaking of the pilot, we almost
forgot to mention that you’ll be wearing a two-way headset for the entire journey, which
means that the lines of communication are always open. The result is that you’ll not only
view Maui and the Big Island, but be able to listen to expert commentary on them, and ask
questions if anything’s unclear.
Sure, there are a lot of claimants to the title of “best tour” on Hawaii. But in our opinion, this
one, with so many features, is easily the greatest of the Maui tours.
