Blue Hawaiian Helicopters – Maui Spectacular – 90 Minutes

This Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Maui Spectacular tour is 90 minutes in duration is the only Helicopter Tour that does it all. Literally, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters combines the West Maui and the Hana and Haleakala tour and takes you to all of the most epic sights to see on Maui in one trip. It also includes a landing at a private area on Ulupalakua Ranch around Kula.  Expanding on traditional routes, the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Maui Spectacular tour began offering a touchdown at a remote location in Ulupalakua soon after they began service in Maui. This Maui helicopter activity is really one of a kind. Once you lift off at the Kahului Heliport the journey begins like all other 45 minute Hana and Haleakala flights with a fly by the south rim of Haleakala Crater. At one time helicopters, could fly into the crater itself, which made this one of the most exciting parts of the flight. 

Considering it takes about 2.5 hours to drive up the summit from Kihei and a little longer from the west side, it’s a much better option to check it out these parts of the island by helicopter. The sights around Hana include many huge waterfalls and the quaint town that still retains its charm as a small Hawaiian village. The beauty of the Haleakala and the rain-forests of East Maui are only surpassed by the views from the landing. High on the west slope, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Maui Spectacular tour lands for a brief time. 

The touchdown is a little over 30 minutes. Refreshments are served and your pilot will share some history of the area. Things that most people will never discover.

It is highly recommended that you wear a dark, solid colored shirt for any of the helicopter flights. Brightly colored clothes can cause reflections on the windows that will show up in your photos and videos.

Don’t forget your shades!

The very best time to experience a Maui helicopter ride is in the morning.
