Best for first-time flyers who want East Maui rainforest, waterfalls and Haleakalā in a compact 45-minute flight. Weather is the big wildcard—clouds can force a West Maui/Molokaʻi reroute. Wear dark clothes to reduce window glare in photos.
Take off from the heliport to the North East rim of the Haleakala dormant Volcano Crater, fly over the East Maui rainforest to view the waterfalls, coastline and much more. Expert narration is included on Maui helicopter rides.
