Itinerary
Your two-island Hawaiian helicopter adventure begins at the heliport in Kahului, Maui, where you'll meet your expert pilot and strap into your sky-bound chariot. After liftoff, admire the views out of the helicopter’s panoramic windows as the horizon extends for miles. Spot surfers catching waves, and see the jungle canopy from above on your way to the island of Molokai. Explore this less-visited island from the comfort of your helicopter, cruising past the world’s tallest sea cliffs, which stand at a height of more than 3,000 feet (914 meters). Get your camera ready for Kahiwa Falls, some of the tallest waterfalls in the Hawaiian Islands, and look down on the serene and remote north shore. Catch a glimpse of the dramatic Halawa Valley and the Molokai fish ponds, and then fly above the Pailolo Channel between the islands.
See the Molokai Fringing Coral Reef and majestic ancient fishponds, located on the southern coast, built approximately 800 years ago.
Back over Maui, enjoy a new perspective of the island as you sweep across its western side while your pilot points out highlights like the famous Iao Valley State Park, a lush lava rainforest and the West Maui Mountains.
See Maui's tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls. Look for Haleakala volcano in the distance, and take a couple of last glances along the horizon before returning to the heliport, where your tour ends. 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.

Glad we booked it, check in staff was friendly, our pilot John was very good and informative. We would book with Maverick Helicopters again.
Awesome experience. Pilot was very knowledgeable and clearly explained everything we saw(sorry, forget his name). Very smooth ride and one of the highlights of our bucket-list trip to Hawaii.
Great experience with many additional insights from the pilot. It is very important that as a non-US citizen, you must present a passport; the ID card is NOT sufficient as official identification.
Our helicopter tour of Maui and Molokai was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From takeoff to landing, the views were nonstop, lush valleys, waterfalls, and dramatic coastlines that you simply can’t experience from the ground. The absolute standout was Molokai’s north shore. Flying alongside the tallest sea cliffs in the world was jaw-dropping, and seeing their sheer scale from the air left all of us, adults and kids alike, completely in awe. The ride was smooth, the pilot was fantastic, and our kids were just as captivated as we were the entire time. This is truly a must-do experience and worth every penny.
We are glad that you and your family had an unforgettable experience on our Molokai Voyage! Mahalo for sharing and for flying with us.
Our pilot, Josh, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and knows the island well. He gave interesting dialogue on the many, many point's of interest. It being near the end of whale season, he gave an fun whale watch-from-above. I highly recommend Maverick Helicopters on Maui.
We're pleased to hear Josh took good care of you and that you enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
Best experience I have had in Hawaii and one of the top experiences I’ve had on vacation. The tour was beyond words my wife and I can’t wait for our next trip to do it again. Eric Stewart and his team made the experience start off with that family atmosphere and how they greeted us.
We loved our trip. The staff were very friendly, helicopter was comfortable, and we saw lots of amazing waterfalls and whales.
We're thrilled you had a great experience and enjoyed the amazing views. Mahalo for flying with Maverick Helicopters.
We booked this and were very happy with the trip, the pilot and his knowledge. Bring peak humpback whale season the pilot spent extra time finding pods of whales and getting us great photos.
We are glad to hear you had an excellent experience. Mahalo for flying with Maverick Helicopters.
Ethan was an excellent pilot with vast knowledge of the terrain. Enjoyed the entire journey. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see the sights.
Fabulous helicopter tour. Pilot was very knowledgeable. Would do it again.
