Hana/Haleakala (45 min)

Perhaps the most popular Maui helicopter tour, this excursion offers generous views of Haleakala's magnificent crater as well as Maui's most remote areas with views of Hana Town, the Seven Sacred Pools, the fabulous waterfalls of Maui's coastline, and world famous Ho'okipa windsurfing beach.

Early & Late Bird Special Available!
