About Blue Hawaiian Helicopters - Waterfalls of West Maui & Molokai
Fly into the rugged heart of West Maui before crossing the channel to Molokai on a 50-minute helicopter tour filled with steep valleys, waterfalls and dramatic coastline. The flight begins over the West Maui Mountains, where green ridges and hidden valleys surround Iao Valley and its famous needle.
From there, you’ll cross the Pailolo Channel to Molokai’s remote north shore. Towering sea cliffs rise straight from the Pacific, waterfalls drop along the mountainsides, and the route continues toward the historic Kalaupapa Peninsula, giving you a rare aerial look at one of Hawaii’s most isolated coastal areas.

Restrictions
Tour routes and sights visited may vary according to wind and weather conditions.
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.

Passengers need to bring a government issued photo ID. International passengers will need their passport.

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.
