Central Maui Two Island Scenic Helicopter Flight to Molokai
Central Maui Two Island Scenic Helicopter Flight to Molokai
Let’s be honest. Road trips are cool, but helicopter trips? Now, that’s next-level bragging rights. If you’re in Central Maui and wish to give your friends some green envy at home, the Two-Island Scenic Helicopter Tour to Molokai is your ticket to paradise.
This tour is not anywhere near like any ordinary ones you’ve had in the past. This time, you will be flying between Maui and Molokai, two places both known for their jawdropping views. After the ride, you can confidently say that you’ve seen the best of two worlds. So, better put that seatbelt on because this is a ride you’ll never, ever forget.
The Takeoff: Adrenaline, Check!
As you lift off from Kahului, any lingering doubts about your life choices instantly disappear. The second those rotors begin to turn, you’ll be living large like a VIP on a National Geographic special. Down below, the green scenery of Maui unfolds like an emerald-green blanket, bordered by beaches so perfect they look airbrushed.
And then, the actual magic starts.
Molokai: The Show-Off Island
Molokai doesn’t do subtle. It’s all drama on this island—towering ocean cliffs, waterfalls that cascade from the heavens, and valleys so lush they seem to glow. The cliffs of Molokai stand more than 3,900 feet tall, the highest in the world, and from a helicopter, they appear close enough to reach out and touch. You’ll cruise over Halawa Valley, an ancient Hawaiian settlement still holding onto its secrets, and get a bird’s-eye view of Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii’s longest and emptiest stretches of sand.
Oh, and have we discussed the waterfalls?
Two of Hawaii’s prettiest cascades call Molokai home, including the Kahiwa Falls and fabled Oloʻupena Falls—one of the highest waterfalls in the United States. Watching water cascade down almost 3,000 feet into the rainforest below is akin to seeing a mic drop of nature.
Maui’s West Side Beauty
Once your mind has been completely blown away by the sheer beauty of Molokai, sailing back to Maui is your next goal, where you will be witnessing the very own show-stopping wonder of the West Maui Mountains. These peaks that go as far back as the ancient times are enveloped in mist, carved with deep valleys, and occasionally graced by rainbows that seem too perfect to be real. You’ll glide over the ʻIao Valley, a sacred Hawaiian site where history and nature intertwine in the most breathtaking way.
And then, just as you think you’ve seen it all, there’s a final surprise—Maui’s shoreline, surf pounding against rocky coastlines and hidden beaches lying in plain sight.
The Landing: Take a Bow
As your helicopter slowly lands for the second time at Kahului, you’ll find yourself struggling to erase the smile from your face. That was no sightseeing tour—that was an experience. And the best part about it? Unlike a bumpy boat tour, this adventure won’t have you seasick, sunburned, or questioning that extra plate of poke.
So, if you’re in Maui and want to level up your vacation, hop in a helicopter and let the islands put on a show. Trust us—this is one story you’ll be telling for years.
