Circle Island Tour of Maui with Sunshine Helicopters

Sunshine’s Circle Island Helicopter Tour combines the beauty of the West Maui Mountain Tour with the incredible Hana/Haleakala Tour.

Choose from the front row seats or open seating for this wonderful flight over the island of Maui.   This is the helicopter flight that you have always dreamed of!  The West Maui Mountains are known for their lush valleys and has the 2nd rainiest spot on Earth.  The views into the peaked mountain ridges are spectacular! Vibrant green valleys, long streaming waterfalls, and beautiful peaked mountains are amazing to see on this flight.

Leaving the West Maui Mountains, you will fly over to the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakala Crater, the “House of the Sun”.   Haleakala is a magnificent crater, 10,034 feet high and takes up 75% of the island.  Inside of the crater are numerous young cinder cones.  It is a very unusual sight, like nothing you will ever see.

Then on to Hana and the waterfalls along the rugged Hana coastline.  View the tropical rain forest, bamboo trees and the many waterfalls this side of the island is noted for.

Weather permitting, highlights include: the “Wall of Tears” with over 17 waterfalls flowing at once, Maui’s tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls, with over 1,100 foot drop views of Old Hana Town, Haleakala National Park, Kipahulu, the Taro fields of Ke’anae, fabulous coastline of Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Kaanapali, Lahaina and the world famous Ho’okipa windsurfing beach.  Whale watching in season.

This flight is on the FX Star helicopter.   Confirmed Front Row seats are an additional $95. per person. Call 808 879-6260 to make reservations.  If you weigh more than 240 lbs then you can either purchase a half seat or upgrade to the Whisper Star Aircraft.  Please enter your Height and Weight in the comment box when checking out.
