Fly over Maui and Molokai’s valleys, waterfalls, and sea cliffs, then enjoy a 20-minute landing at scenic Ulupalakua Ranch.

About this tour

See Maui and Molokai from above on a Maui helicopter tour that pairs dramatic island scenery with an exclusive ranch landing. From the air, trace West Maui’s valleys, rainforests, and waterfalls, then cross the channel to Molokai for views of its towering sea cliffs and rugged coastline.

The flight continues along the far side of the West Maui Mountains, with views of Kapalua and Kaanapali’s golden beaches and clear ocean bays. Your pilot, also a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide, shares local history through two-way microphones and noise-canceling headsets. Near the end of the route, fly by the slopes of Mt. Haleakala before landing at Ulupalakua Ranch. Spend 20 minutes enjoying its pastoral setting and broad views across what locals call “both oceans.”

Arrive 45 minutes early for check-in and the safety briefing, and wear dark clothing to help prevent reflections in photos. Book your Maui helicopter tour for a memorable perspective on two remarkable Hawaiian islands.

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 6.9.
