Additional Information

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. See the famous Iao valley and learn about the history and culture of the sights from your pilot, who is also a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide.

Tour over ‘The Valley Isle” and land at our exclusive and scenic landing site in the pastoral setting of Ulupalakua Ranch (Upcountry Maui).

A Must Do at Least Once! - I've been coming to the Hawaiian Islands since the 70's & never did a helicopter tour. This trip to Maui I bit the bullet & took my son. So happy that we did it. We did the Pau Hana flight with our pilot extraordinaire Chris! What a great guy with one heck of a flying background, he really made the flight one to remember for both of us. They are lucky to have him. The entire experience with Blue Hawaiian was first class from beginning to end, creating memories we will have forever. The ground staff was very professional & helpful as well. My recommendation is at some point in your life, if you can possibly make it happen, do it! P.S. You can guarantee front seats (2) for a little extra $. Well worth it in my view. 👀
