About Air Maui - West Maui & Molokai Special
Fly with Air Maui on a West Maui and Molokai helicopter special featuring dramatic sea cliffs, waterfalls, valleys, rainforest and ocean views.
Air Maui's West Maui & Molokai Special packs the best of two islands into a 45-minute flight—perfect if you want epic views without the longer (and pricier) full-length tour. Lift off from Kahului and within moments you're sweeping over the emerald valleys and razor-edged ridges of the West Maui Mountains, places hikers can only dream about.
Cross the Pailolo Channel in minutes and watch the ocean's deep blue shift against Molokai's towering sea cliffs—some of the tallest on Earth. Waterfalls tumble more than a thousand feet down sheer walls that are otherwise inaccessible, so you'll have front-row seats to sights few ever get to see.
A seasoned pilot narrates the journey, pointing out hidden valleys, shipwreck remnants, and legendary surf breaks as you glide from one photo-worthy moment to the next. It's Maui's only helicopter tour that hops over to Molokai at this price point, giving you maximum wow factor with minimal time commitment.
Tour Highlights
- West Maui Mountains: deep valleys and dramatic ridgelines
- Hidden, untouched valleys rarely seen from the ground
- Pailolo Channel crossing between Maui and Molokai
- Molokai's north-shore sea cliffs and 1,000-foot waterfalls
