Ancient Hawaiian kings and queens traveled by canoe to frolic along Maui's shores long before the first helicopter was ever designed. We still recommend getting up close and personal with much of the island's many natural treasures, but when you want to see Maui's awe-inspiring landmarks from a more expansive perspective, there simply is no better way than by helicopter.

Here are some answers to our more frequently asked questions regarding our Maui helicopter tours:

Q: When's the best time to fly? How far in advance do I need to book?

In Hawaii, anytime is a great time to fly. Of course, what you most want to see might help you narrow down your most desirable times, such as a sunrise or sunset flight. You might also want to see migrating whales during your flight. Call us directly for assistance on selecting the most appropriate times.

We suggest solidifying your reservation at least two weeks ahead of time to ensure the date and time you want is not sold out. However, because we do require minimum weight and passenger numbers to leave the ground, you may be able to book within a few days if you have a more open schedule.

Q: What happens to my Maui helicopter tour if it rains?

Our Maui helicopter tours involve flights through parts of the island's rainforests and, as the name suggests, there is often light rain. As long as the rain stays within levels we consider safe and enjoyable, we will continue to fly. If the weather does get too extreme, flights will be canceled, and we will attempt to re-schedule on your best availability. If you and other guests are unable to re-schedule, then we will cancel and refund your group in full.

Q: Are there any special terms and conditions I should know about?

All helicopter excursions require a minimum amount of passengers to operate.

• The maximum weight limit per person is 300 pounds. Total passenger weight must be under 1,140 pounds with no more than 7 passengers.
• Maverick Helicopters has a 48-hour cancellation policy. You have up until 48 hours before your flight departure to make any changes or cancellations. Changes or cancellations are not permitted within 48 hours of your flight departure. No-shows will be charged in full with no refunds.
• Due to the intricate nature of helicopter flight, all of our times are approximate.

Q: Why are there only helicopter tours of Maui during the day?

We are only able to offer tours during the day because it’s difficult to see at night. Guests come on our flights not just to experience a helicopter ride (although that’s one reason), but also to see Hawaii’s majestic beauty from a different perspective. If we offered tours at night, we wouldn’t be able to show guests all of the islands’ amazing features.

We fly state-of-the-art ECO-star helicopters , which are known for their environmentally- friendly engines, quiet operation and comfortable seating. Unfortunately, though, there isn’t enough room in these helicopters to have an in-cabin restroom. For this reason, we recommend all of our guests use the restroom before take-off.

Q: How should I dress for a Maui helicopter tour?

We encourage all our guests to dress comfortably. In general, we recommend wearing clothes and shoes you feel good in and bringing sunscreen.

There are many large windows in our helicopters that let in the sun, which can be intense at higher elevations, so it’s important to lather on sunscreen prior to take off.

Q: What can I expect to see on a Maui helicopter tour?

Exactly what you’ll see on your flight depends on which Maui helicopter tour you sign up for. All of our tours offer amazing views, but they offer different features. We can show you Maui’s rainforest, the Wailua Valley’s waterfalls, Haleakala National Park’s active volcanoes, Haleakala Crater, Iao Valley State Park and more. We also frequently spot whales and other marine life in the ocean waters.

Q: Where is the heliport Maverick flies out of?

Maverick flies out of Kahului Heliport, which is adjacent to Kahului Airport on the north side of Maui. It's located at Lelepio Pl, Kahului, HI 96732 . You can find a map to our terminal here.

Q: How much does parking at the heliport cost?

Parking at the heliport is owned and operated by ABM Parking Services. The average parking fee for our guests is $7.00, which can be paid at the self-service pay station located on lot. The station accepts MasterCard, Visa and cash. If paying with cash, plan on bringing small bills and coins, as the station does not provide change.

Q: Is it easy to take pictures on a Maui helicopter tour?

You’ll be able to easily take pictures and video from the comfort of your seat, thanks to the oversized windows on our ECO-Star helicopters. We also record a video that is available for purchase, which includes both the sights seen and the conversation between pilot and passengers.

On Maui, you’ll be treated to views of the West Maui Mountains that are only accessible by air. That includes Iao Valley State Park, a rainforest teeming with waterfalls and considered one of the wettest places on the planet because of how much it rains there.

If you’re looking for iconic views that you’ve probably seen in pictures, these are the Maui helicopter tours to consider. You won’t be disappointed!

Air Maui’s 45-Minute Maui and Molokai Tour

Experience the beauty of West Maui and Molokai on this helicopter tour operated by Air Maui. Soar above inaccessible valleys, hidden waterfalls, and majestic ridgelines in the heart of the West Maui mountains.

Maverick Helicopters’ Two Island Tour

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Maverick Helicopters’ West Maui and Molokai tour. Soar above two picturesque Hawaiian islands and witness the breathtaking beauty from above. Marvel at the majestic Honokohau Falls, explore the lush rainforests of Iao Valley State Park and take in the stunning vistas of waterfalls, coasts, and iconic landmarks during this 55-minute helicopter flight.

These Maui helicopter tours focus on two areas on the island’s east side that typically take hours to see by car. If you’re looking to skip the long drive and try something different, these tours allow you to see the Haleakala Volcano and Road to Hana from a different perspective.

Haleakala, also known as the East Maui Volcano, is the third-largest in Hawaii and rises a staggering 10,023 feet above sea level. It has a stunning landscape marked by cinder cones that looks like something found on another planet.

The Road to Hana, the other sight you can see on these tours, is a 64-mile-long road that takes you through East Maui’s lush rainforests full of waterfalls and hidden pools. Both of these locations offer plenty to see that’s only accessible (or easier to access) by air.

From the comfort of a forward-facing, air-conditioned helicopter, you’ll experience breathtaking 180-degree views of untouched valleys, cascading waterfalls, and the awe-inspiring dormant volcano, guided by an expert narrator.

Maverick’s Hana and Waterfall Tour w/Landing

This tour from Maverick Helicopters only focuses on the Road to Hana in East Maui. However, it’s longer than many helicopter tours and includes a landing! Once on the ground, you’ll have time to explore the lush rainforest floor of a former taro plantation. In the air, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of cliffs, waterfalls, and iconic surf spots like Jaws.

Blue Hawaiian’s Hana Tour w/Flight Back

Blue Hawaiian’s tour is actually a combo tour that includes a Road to Hana drive and a helicopter flight. You’ll start off on a 6-hour adventure in a limo van that includes tranquil stops at the charming Ke’anae hamlet, Wai’anapanapa State Park, and a waterfall where you can swim. After that, you’ll cap off the day with a stunning 36-minute helicopter ride above Haleakala Crater and Maui’s rugged coastline.

If you can’t decide between the tours in the two sections above, then a complete island Maui helicopter tour might be for you. These tours take you to all the sights covered in those sections, including the Haleakala Volcano, Road to Hana, and West Maui Mountains.

This is a great way to get an overview of the entire island of Maui. There’s so much to see and explore, and it’s often hard to see it all in a single trip. With a complete island helicopter tour, you won’t have to miss out on seeing anything in Maui.

Maui Helicopter Tours FAQ

All of the Maui helicopter tours listed on this page depart from the heliport at the Kahului Airport , where you likely started your trip if you flew to the island. That’s about a 30-60 minute car ride from most of the popular places to stay in West Maui and South Maui .

It’s hard to say exactly how far in advance you should book a Maui helicopter tour. For any activity in Maui, we usually recommend at least three months in advance to be safe. However, for helicopter tours, you could probably get away with a few weeks in advance. During peak seasons or holidays, booking even further in advance is advisable.

The duration of Maui helicopter tours can vary depending on your chosen tour. Typically, these tours range from 30 minutes to 2 hours in duration. Shorter tours usually focus on specific areas or landmarks, while longer tours offer a more comprehensive experience, covering multiple attractions. It’s best to check with the tour operator for precise details on tour durations.

Yes, you can usually bring a camera on a Maui helicopter tour. Many tour operators allow passengers to bring cameras or smartphones to capture the breathtaking views from the helicopter. However, it’s important to check with the specific tour company beforehand to ensure there are no restrictions or special guidelines regarding photography equipment.

Yes, there are often age and weight restrictions for Maui helicopter tours. The specific restrictions can vary depending on the tour operator and aircraft used. Generally, children under a certain age may be required to sit on a parent’s lap, and there might be weight limitations for safety reasons. It’s important to check with the tour company in advance if you’re not sure.

The number of people that can fit in a helicopter tour depends on the type of helicopter the tour operator uses. Most helicopters used for tours in Maui can accommodate between 4 to 7 passengers, including the pilot. However, there are also options for private tours or larger groups that can accommodate more passengers.

Motion sickness can affect individuals differently, and some may experience it during a Maui helicopter tour. The nature of helicopter flights, including maneuvers and changes in altitude, can contribute to motion sickness for susceptible individuals. To minimize the risk, taking motion sickness medication, sitting in a forward-facing seat, avoiding heavy meals before the tour, and focusing on the horizon or fixed points during the flight is advisable.
