Imagine flying over the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala, and seeing its immense moonlike crater with pure iron oxide cinder cones towering over 1,100 feet tall. Or what about getting a bird's eye view of Kaupo and Ko'olau Gaps, the remnants of ancient lava flows from the crater to the sea. On this helicopter tour, you'll also see the Hana Rainforest and much more.
Haleakala National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hawaii. Every year, people from all over the world come to experience the unique beauty of the crater. Haleakala Crater is truly a force of nature. At 10,023 feet above sea level, it offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The crater is also home to a variety of plant and animal life. Visitors can see Hawaiian honeycreepers, nene geese, and many other native species.
There’s so much more to East Maui than the Road to Hana, and on this guided helicopter tour you will get to see more of this region than you ever would have from the ground. The jungles and waterfalls of Hana are a sight to behold, and they are sheltered by deep valleys and a rugged coastline formed from hundreds of years of lava flowing from Haleakala into the ocean. This region is the best example of a rainforest microclimate in Hawaii and seeing it from the air is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip.
