About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Hana Rainforest
Fly east across Maui and watch the island turn greener by the minute. This 50-minute helicopter tour heads into the Hana side, where deep valleys, rainforest, waterfalls and black-lava coastline create some of the island’s most remote scenery.
The route passes over the Hana Rainforest Preserve, Jurassic Rock and the rugged Keanae Peninsula before following the windward coast back. From above, you can see hidden beaches, narrow waterfalls and valleys that are difficult to reach from the road, giving you a much broader look at East Maui in a short amount of time.
Wide viewing windows and pilot narration help you follow the landscape as it changes below, from thick rainforest to exposed lava shoreline and the small communities tucked along the coast.

Weight Guidelines:
For each passenger weighing 240+ pounds (109 kg), an adjacent empty seat is required to safely balance the aircraft and requires an additional surcharge equal to 1/2 ticket price.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires that each each passenger is weighed prior to departure. This weigh-in process is very discrete when you check in. Any significant variance in the weights provided and actual scale weight could result in flight delays or possible cancellation.
Front Row Seating Add-on Restrictions:
Combined Front Row seat weight must be under 470 lbs and individual passenger weights must be under 240 lbs. Should the actual weights at check-in exceed any of these limits guests will be accommodated in other seats and allowed a refund for the upgrade fee.
Front Row passengers must occupy their own seats and must be able to refrain from interfering with the pilot and instrumentation. NO LAP CHILDREN IN FRONT ROW. In the event of an emergency front row passengers must be able to receive instructions in English and be physically capable of operating exit doors. Chair lifts can only access the rear row seats, therefore guests requiring a chair lift cannot be accommodated in the front row.

Equipment
Blue Hawaiian's fleet is Hawaii's largest fleet of touring helicopters. Their EC-130 Eco-Star helicopters have comfortable, individual seats for every passenger that afford the kind of shoulder room and personal space found in airline "First Class" seating. The Eco-Star is also significantly quieter than standard touring helicopters and offers more interior space, with 65 square feet of glass for panoramic views. A 4-camera video system captures touring memories to bring home for a lifetime keepsake.
