      Your two-island Hawaiian helicopter adventure begins at the heliport in Kahului, Maui, where you'll meet your expert pilot and strap into your sky-bound chariot. After liftoff, admire the views out of the helicopter’s panoramic windows as the horizon extends for miles. Spot surfers catching waves, and see the jungle canopy from above on your way to the island of Molokai. Explore this less-visited island from the comfort of your helicopter, cruising past the world’s tallest sea cliffs, which stand at a height of more than 3,000 feet (914 meters). Get your camera ready for Kahiwa Falls, some of the tallest waterfalls in the Hawaiian Islands, and look down on the serene and remote north shore. Catch a glimpse of the dramatic Halawa Valley and the Molokai fish ponds, and then fly above the Pailolo Channel between the islands.

    Helicopter tour

    The pilot was great and his knowledge of the area was phenomenal. I would highly recommend you folks to others coming to the area.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate your 5-star review! Thank you for flying with us on Maui.

    Amazing views you cannot miss

    This was a total out of comfort zone for me, I really enjoyed the views. Ethan was excellent providing information about what we were seeing and getting in close to the waterfalls and things don't want to miss. Highly recommend booking if you want to see areas that you cannot get to on land. Nobody likes giving their weight but it is necessary for safety. You are weighed when you check in and the computer assigns your seating for proper balance. So when you provide your weight take into consideration clothing (especially shoes) and how far out you are booking. We booked 6 months out, and of course a few of us went up instead of down in weight 😉. A memory that our family will cherish, being able to experience it together.

    Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.

    How much does Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui cost?

    +

    Prices start at $404 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.

    Is Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 352 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui?

    +

    Around 123 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 0.9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maui?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui?

    +

    Included: Live commentary; All taxes and fees; and 55-minute helicopter ride. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui?

    +

    Kahului Airport - 1 Kahului Airport Road Hanger 108 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Deluxe Helicopter Tour of Molokai and Maui if the weather is bad?

    +
