Kahului Heliport
The West Maui Mountains, the Hāna rainforest, and Molokaʻi’s north-shore sea cliffs, all from one heliport.
Every flight here leaves the Kahului heliport, a short drive from the airport. Routes split three ways: west to the West Maui Mountains and across to Molokaʻi’s north-shore sea cliffs, east over the Hāna rainforest and Haleakalā’s rim, or both in one longer flight.
Molokaʻi is a flyover only. The one flight that lands sets down in a remote East Maui valley.
Read the weight rules and the refund terms. Flights assign seats by weight, charge for an extra seat above set limits, and some keep your money if you cancel within 48 to 72 hours.

FAQ
For most people, a West Maui and Molokaʻi flight is the best first look. If you want to step out in a remote valley, the Hāna landing tour is the one that sets down.
Most don’t. Of the flights compared here, only Maverick’s Hāna rainforest tour lands, for about 30 minutes in Wailua Valley.
More on Maui
Sunrise from above the clouds is Maui’s most famous early alarm. Here’s how to do it by van, by bike, or at sunset instead — and what it takes to drive it yourself.
Compare 7 tours
Tight curves, one-lane bridges, and waterfalls along the way. Let someone else drive, or take a guide in the app.
Compare 6 tours
A sunken volcanic crater three miles offshore, protected since 1977. Go early, before the wind comes up.
Compare 7 tours
Every winter, humpbacks crowd the shallow channels between Maui, Lānaʻi, and Molokaʻi. These are the boats worth booking.
Compare 5 tours
Fire-knife dancers, kālua pig, and an oceanfront sunset. The big differences are the setting, the meal, and the refund policy.
