Maui Helicopter Tours

Maui is an amazingly beautiful island. But only a small part of it is reachable by car, or foot.

That's because a large part of the island is mountanous, uninhabited, and largely untouched by man (and that's a good thing!).

If you want to see the natural beauty of the island (the mountain tops, the waterfalls, and tropical forests), you really have to see the island by air.

Luckily, there are a variety of companies that provide helicopter tours of the island.

How do you find the best helicopter tour company? Ask friends or relatives that may have been to Maui and taken a helicoter ride, or ask your hotel concierge for the names of companies that they typically recommend to their guests.

Prices for helicopter rides vary, depending on the numbers of people going along for the ride, and the length of the trip.

Here are some companies you might want to check out on the Web.

- Air Maui (airmaui.com)
- Alex Air (helitour.com)
- Blue Hawaiian (bluehawaiian.com)
- Sunshine Helicopters (sunshinehelicoters.com)

By the way, we aren't recommending any particular helicopter tour company in Maui, you'll have to do the research and make the decision on which company to go with on your own. We're just providing some company names to make your search easier.
