Fly over West Maui’s rugged valleys and Molokai’s sea cliffs on a narrated 45-minute helicopter tour from Kahului.
About this tour
Take to the skies for a 45-minute Maui helicopter tour that reveals the islands’ rugged coastlines and dramatic landscapes from above. From Kahului, fly over West Maui’s deep valleys and craggy mountain ridges, then admire Molokai’s remote North Shore, where sea cliffs and waterfalls line the coast. The route and sights can change with the weather.
A pilot provides narration and music during the shared-cabin flight, which carries up to six passengers and one pilot. The doors-on experience offers a comfortable way to take in the scenery. Wear dark clothing to help reduce reflections in the windows and improve your photos. Passenger weights must be provided when booking, and additional seats may be required at certain weight thresholds. Infants under 24 months sit on an adult’s lap; contact Air Maui if bringing one.
Meet at Kahului Heliport, where Air Maui Helicopters is the last hangar on the left. Confirm your check-in and departure time directly with Air Maui at least 72 hours ahead. Book your Maui helicopter tour for a memorable aerial look at West Maui and Molokai.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.81 on Viator and 5.00 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2.
