Haleakala Crater
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.
East Maui
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.

This landscape is so bizarre-looking to visitors they often compare it to pictures they have seen of Mars. The Hana Rainforest is also a sight to behold from above, and you'll be able to see it and its dozens of waterfalls in all their glory on this tour. Past the town of Hana, you'll get wonderful views of Kaupo and the Ko'olau Gaps, which are the remnants of lava flows that once poured out of the now dormant volcano into the ocean.
