About Air Maui - Doors Off Molokai
Open-air flying gives this Maui and Molokai helicopter tour a completely different feel. With the doors off, the views seem closer and more immediate as you pass over steep ridges, deep valleys and waterfalls with nothing blocking the scenery.
The flight begins over the West Maui Mountains, where sharp ridgelines and hidden valleys cut through the island’s interior. From there, you cross to Molokai’s remote north shore, home to towering sea cliffs and waterfalls that drop toward the Pacific along a coastline that is difficult to reach from the ground.
Tour Highlights
- Maui’s only doors-off helicopter tour
- Open-air views over the West Maui Mountains
