Overview

Book your selected flight time, travel independently to Maui’s Kahului Airport, and check in for your flight. Then, meet your pilot and any other passengers—your ECO-130 helicopter carries a maximum of seven—before boarding.

Sit back into your comfortable seat, and after a safety briefing, ascend into the skies above Maui for your flight. Then, gaze through the windows and drink in the aerial views as your pilot provides live commentary on the sights and shares intriguing facts about the island’s geology, nature, and history.

Fly along Maui’s northern coast, gazing down at rugged sea cliffs and waterfalls, swoop over beauty spots such as Paia, Hookipa, Haiku, and Pe’ahi, famous for its huge surfing break known as ‘Jaws’.

Soar over the winding coastal route of the ‘Road to Hana,’ and capture photos of Keopuka Rock, nicknamed ‘Jurassic Rock’ for featuring in the opening credits of the 1993 movie, Jurassic Park.

Then, whirr over the dense jungle and descend into the Hana rainforest, touching down near a former taro (yam-like root vegetable) farm in the untouched Wailua Valley.

Here, hop out and enjoy time to explore the paradise-like landscapes, awash with coconut trees, banana groves, and wildflowers, and commanding panoramic views over tumbling waterfalls and deep green canyons.

As you walk, listen as your pilot shares information about the area, learning how only a few people have walked here as its remains largely unexplored.

When it’s time, board your helicopter and enjoy the return flight back to the heliport. Your trip then finishes when you disembark and bid farewell to your pilot.

Please note: Per FAA regulations, all passengers 18 years and older will be required to show photo ID such as a driver's license or passport at the time of check-in.

Fantastic experience!

Eric_R, Apr 2025

Beautiful sites and a fantastic experience with the added benefit of landing in a clearing next to the rainforest. Our pilot, Jake Harmon, delivered a very smooth flight while educating us on the sights and terrain. Mimosas in the rainforest during the landing time was a special treat! Our 11-year-old son loved every minute of it. Kudos to the entire Maverick team! I would highly recommend!

Unforgettable Experience with Maverick Helicopters

The Hana Rainforest Tour was fantastic! Stopping in the rainforest was one of the reasons I chose this tour, along with their great reviews, and it did not disappoint. Our pilot, Ethan, was excellent, keeping the flight smooth and enjoyable. Being in the front was a bonus, offering amazing views for photos of the stunning scenery. This experience was a wonderful way to celebrate my 50th—well worth the price! ????????????✨
