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 Spectacular

A combination of our West Maui and Hana/Haleakala Tours - with an exciting extra bonus!
A combination of our West Maui and Hana/Haleakala Tours - with an exciting extra bonus! This detailed tour of the entire island begins with a flight exploration of the most magnificent West Maui valleys, rainforest, and waterfalls. Then comes the bonus: we land at our scenic and exclusive remote landing site at Ulupalakua Ranch, on the slopes of Haleakala. Refreshments are served while you enjoy the breathtaking scenery and pastoral setting for approximately 20 minutes. The flight then continues for a 45-minute exploration of East Maui, including Hana & Haleakala. 

Tour routes and sights visited may vary according to wind and weather conditions. 
  • 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 Views and More! 
        Above Lahaina: This L is repainted annually by the senior class of Lahainaluna High School, the oldest high school in the United States, west of the Rocky mountains. This school is located downslope, on the mauka (mountain) side of Lahaina. /Haleakala Highway is famous for downhill bike tours. 37 miles of downhill coasting from the summit at 10,000 feet to sea level at Paia. 

        The Piilani Heiau near Hana is the largest ancient place of worship that is still intact. Heiau were elaborately constructed stone platforms or sometimes simple earth terraces.

        The upper reaches of Waihee valley is virtually inaccessible by anything other than helicopter. The reward for a visit to this remote area is a view of the famous wall of tears waterfall. The lower reaches of the valley is believed to be the first area settled on Maui by early Polynesians, around 500-700 A.D.

        The name Ulupalakua - is most often translated as "breadfruit ripened on the back." Legend has it that an ancient Hawaiian chief would send his messengers to Hana for breadfruit. By the time they resumed, on foot of course, their precious cargo would have ripened. 

        Pricing Policy
