RATING
  • Year after year, readers of the top international travel magazines vote Maui “The World’s Best Island,” in large part because Maui boasts sights that satisfy the most demanding adventurers. 
  • Here are emerald rainforests and the moon-like vistas of Mt. Haleakala, the rolling Alpine-like meadows of Upcountry and the jagged cliffs and cascading waterfalls of the West Maui Mountains. 
  • Not to mention Maui’s sister isle, Molokai, home to the world’s tallest sea cliffs! 
  • Yet most of Maui’s magnificent hidden secrets are inaccessible except by air, and nobody knows how to show them to you like Blue Hawaiian.

Maui: Complete Island Tour

The highlights of both East and West Maui are united in this unique aerial tour of the complete island of Maui!
The highlights of both East and West Maui are united in this unique aerial tour of the complete island of Maui. See Haleakala Crater, Oheo Gulch, Hana Town, Hana rainforest and the rugged shoreline of Northeast Maui. Explore deep, meandering valleys set in the rainforest of the ancient West Maui Mountains. Knife-edged ridges with mist-shrouded peaks separate the spectacular valleys that give Maui its nickname, "The Valley Isle." Waterfalls cascade down from towering cliffs into the streams running along the rainforest floor. Learn about the history and culture of the sights from your pilot, who is also a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide.
  • American Eurocopter EC130 "Eco-Star": 
    Every seat offers greater personal space, first-class individual seats, and expansive glass for exceptional visibility. This is the world's newest and most expensive model of touring helicopter, and the first specifically designed for air tours. It is utilized by only two companies in Hawaii: Blue Hawaiian and Sunshine Helicopters 

    The EC130 is also available in a 7-seat configuration to accommodate families. 

    Note that Sunshine Helicopters has renamed their EC130 "Whisper-Star." The American Eurocopter EC130 is powered by a Turbomeca Arriel 1B engine rated at 848 Shaft Horse Power. 
    • American Eurocopter AS350 "A-Star": 
      Less personal space than the Eco-Star but with a similar open cabin design for 180º views from each seat. Somewhat less viewing glass than the Eco-Star. This model is utilized by the majority of air tour operators in Hawaii, including Blue Hawaiian, Sunshine, Air Maui, Alexair, Makani Kai, Jack Harter, Island Helicopters, Safari Aviation and Hawaii Helicopters. 

      The AS350 is the most utilized tour helicopter in the world, and all of them look virtually the same. The only significant difference is the type of engine employed. There are four variants of this model: 
      • AS 350B2: Used by Blue Hawaiian and Safari Aviation. This is the most powerful model A-Star and is an original manufacturer model. Employs the Ariel 1D1 engine rated at 712 Shaft Horse Power. 
      • AS 350BA: Used by Air Maui, Makani Kai, Jack Harter and Island Helicopters. This is an original manufacturer model. Employs the Ariel 1B engine rated at 641 Shaft Horse Power. 
      • AS 350FX: Used by Sunshine and Makani Kai Helicopters. This is not an original manufacturer model but utilizes an FAA approved conversion to the Honeywell LTS 101 600 engine rated at 650 Shaft Horse Power. AS 350 AllStar: Used by AlexAir. This is not an original manufacturer model but utilizes an FAA approved conversion to the Allison 250-C30M engine rated at 650 Shaft Horse Power.  The cabins in all of these AS350 models are quite similar, but Blue Hawaiian's A-Stars afford increased comfort – with BOSE® aviation-grade noise-cancelling headsets, passenger microphone, inside camera integrated to the live tour video, and more. Safety enhancements for the pilot include a state-of-the-art terrain awareness warning system and emergency pop-out floats to enable safe landing on water. 

        Spectacular View and More! 
        Haleakala crater is actually an eroded depression with many cinder cones formed by subsequent volcanic eruptions. Haleakala, which means in Hawaiian, "House of the Sun", is the worlds largest dormant volcano. The crater measures 21 miles in circumference, is 3000 feet deep and 19 square miles in area. The entire island of Manhattan could fit inside!

        Kano Falls: Also known as "disappearing falls", is located high in the Keanae Valley on Maui's north shore. A stunning "African Tulip Tree" is in full bloom in the foreground. 

        Honomanu Bay is a great spot to stop. Take the first left at the bottom of the hill after passing Kaumahina State Park. If there is a big north shore swell you'll most likely see surfers enjoying their sport. In the background is Kooalau gap, one of two large openings in Haleakala crater 

        World-famous Oheo Gulch in the Hana rainforest. (For many years, this wondrous sight was mistakenly called "The Seven Pools" or even "The Seven Sacred Pools.") In Hawaii, there are more than 2500 species of plants that exist nowhere else on earth. Most of this flora can be seen in the Hana rainforest and most of that can only be seen by helicopter.

        Pricing Policy 
        Total fares include applicable taxes and fees. Any child under 24 months of age is welcome as a lap child at no charge. Children 24 months and over require an individual full-fare seat. For each guest weighing 250 pounds or more, an adjacent, empty seat purchase is required to safely balance the aircraft. The charge for an adjacent empty seat is reduced to 50% off of the tour price. Credit cards are charged upon confirmation of a reservation.

        Additional Info 
        Please allow a minimum of 5 days prior to your requested tour date to book through our website. We will confirm your tour date and time and send you an email with your booking details within 24 hours of receipt of your request.

"This chopper ride with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was absolutely amazing!! The views of Maui were breathtaking. We got to see the real beauty of Maui through this tour. Emery, our pilot, was great. It was a smooth ride and he did an excellent job narrating and giving us information throughout the tour. Landing on the Haleakala Crater and getting to enoy the view from there was also a wonderful experience. We definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Maui!"

"Absolutely excellent. Bad morning weather caused our tour to be redirected, though we were given the option to reschedule. Our redirected tour still had lots of highlights. Our pilot was both a terrific pilot and storyteller. A perfect morning for all 3 of us - and one of us is a 91 year old female! We were completely comfortable on our eco-star helicopter. So glad that it was all recorded on video, too!"
