Maui Hana Rainforest Helicoptor Flight With Wailua Valley Landing
Book your selected flight time, travel independently to Maui’s Kahului Airport, and check in for your flight. Then, meet your pilot and any other passengers—your ECO-130 helicopter carries a maximum of seven—before boarding. Sit back into your comfortable seat, and after a safety briefing, ascend into the skies above Maui for your flight. Then, gaze through the windows and absorb the aerial views as your pilot provides live commentary on the sights and shares intriguing facts about the island’s geology, nature, and history. Fly along Maui’s northern coast, gazing down at rugged sea cliffs and waterfalls, swoop over beauty spots such as Paia, Hookipa, Haiku, and Pe’ahi, famous for its huge surf break known as Jaws. Soar over the winding coastal route of the Road to Hana and capture photos of Keopuka Rock, nicknamed Jurassic Rock for featuring in the opening credits of the 1993 movie, "Jurassic Park." Then, whirr over the dense jungle and descend into the Hana rainforest, touching down near a former taro farm in the untouched Wailua Valley. Here, hop out and enjoy time to explore the paradise-like landscapes, awash with coconut trees, banana groves, and wildflowers, and commanding panoramic views over tumbling waterfalls and deep green canyons. As you walk, listen as your pilot shares information about the area, learning how only a few people have walked here as it remains largely unexplored. When it’s time, board your helicopter and enjoy the return flight back to the heliport. Your trip then finishes when you disembark and bid farewell to your pilot. Please note: Per FAA regulations, all passengers 18 years and older will be required to show photo ID such as a driver's license or passport at the time of check-in.
