Sunshine Helicopters – West Maui and Molokai – 45 Minutes

Sunshine Helicopters Takes you Away

Fly back into the lands forgotten by time with this impressive Sunshine Helicopters West Maui and Molokai 45 minute tour  Discover ancient forests where there is no path to follow, no man has ever stepped foot into this lost world deep inside the West Maui Mountains and Molokai. View the tallest sea cliffs in the world on the back side of Molokai towering 3000’ above sea level. Explore hidden valleys with thundering waterfalls tucked deep into the canyons and valleys of Molokai and Maui. This is a Maui helicopter flight for the ages as you view time as it was hundreds of thousands of years ago. Literally, unspoiled, and untouched by humans. Sunshine Helicopters will fly you across the Pailolo Channel to view Maui’s neighboring island Molokai. Fasten your seatbelts for a luxury adventure by air.

The flight emphasis on this Sunshine Helicopters West Maui and Molokai is WATERFALLS! The highlights of this flight include the Wall of tears, the Keyhole Waterfall, Honokahua Valley Jurassic Park Waterfall in the West Maui Mountains. The Molokai portion highlights the Sea Cliffs, Halawa Valley Waterfall, Kalaupapa Leper Colony and the interior of Molokai. At one time, most helicopter companies had a short flight of 30 minutes of just the West Maui Mountains, but over time the flight declined in demand as people wanted longer flights, or as one customer said “More Bang For My Buck.” And that is what eventfully created the Sunshine Helicopters West Maui and Molokai 45 minute flight.  See the Sunshine Helicopters Hana and Haleakala Tour for other available options.

Safety Comes First

Most visitors are interested in helicopter safety. Sunshine Helicopters has a perfect safety record. Considering how long they have been flying on Maui, that is quite an impressive feat. It’s a good thing when the helicopter company you are choosing has returned every guest in the same condition as when they arrived. Not every company can boost that, but Sunshine can!

We recommend that you wear a dark, solid colored shirt for this helicopter flight. Brightly colored or white clothes can cause reflections on the windows that will show up in your photos and videos. Don’t forget your sunglasses!

A live action video is filmed while you are boarding, the flight and when you land. The video is available for purchase. I would recommend that you purchase the video. It would make a great conversation when showing your friends and family after you return home.

The FX-Star Helicopter versus Whisper Star:

The FX-Star Helicopter features forward seating with an unobstructed 180-degree view from every seat. The back seats lift up like theater seating to provide incredible forward viewing. The FX-Star is a smooth and comfortable ride. The FX-Star touring helicopter is equipped with air conditioning, leather seats, and a digit music system with noise reducing headsets. The FX-Star touring helicopter seats 6 guests and the pilot. The Whisper Star is the Rolls Royce of helicopters. Designed to be smoother, quieter, and with more visible area you’ll appreciate the leather seats and extra leg room, but its not necessary to have a wonderful experience.
