See it all when on this Maui helicopter tour that combines the West Maui Deluxe and the Hana / Haleakala Special. West Maui is home to one of the wettest places on earth. Trademarks of this incredible volcanic wonderland include long streaming waterfalls and vibrant green valleys. Weather permitting, highlights of this helicopter tour on Maui include: the "Wall of Tears" with over seventeen waterfalls flowing at once; Maui's tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls, with over 1,100 ft drop. See the resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua. View Old Lahaina Town with its quaint historic whaling harbor. Fly by Launiupoko, Olowalu and Ukumehame valleys. Soar above central Maui's pineapple and sugarcane fields. Ascend Haleakala, the world's largest dormant volcano, and discover its immense moonlike crater with pure iron oxide cinder cones towering over 1,100 ft tall. See Kaupo and Ko'olau Gaps, the huge lava flows from the crater to the sea. Hana's nearly uninhabited "back side" is home of the "Seven Pools" and Lindberg's grave. The Hana Rain Forest is the largest tropical rain forest in our nation. It extends for over 180 square miles along Maui's northern coast. This tour includes views of Old Hana Town, Kipahulu, Haleakala National Park, the taro field of Ke'anae, fabulous coastline waterfalls and the world famous Ho'okipa windsurfing beach on the return.
Flight Includes: Ground briefing, complimentary coffee, personally narrated tour, air-conditioning, choreographed CD music through rich stereophonic headsets with volume control. You may purchase the pilot-narrated video of your actual flight on DVD.
