And here's the reason why: After flying thousands of miles to get here, this is your opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Hawaiian Experience. So what are you waiting for? Book all your ocean adventures now! A Helicopter Tour One of the most exhilarating and inspiring activities on Maui, and coming in at #4, is the aerial tour. The thing that's so cool about this activity is that you're always sure to explore areas of Maui and beyond that are impossible to see any other way than by air. Waterfalls, rainforests, isolated beaches, volcanic craters, and more will leave you breathless. The best way to catch these sights is by helicopter. Trips last at least 30 minutes, with the most popular tour being Hana- Haleakala. Our favorite helicopter company to fly with is Sunshine Helicopters (873-8779). If you've never experienced it before, now is your chance. Aerial tours are an experience that you'll remember for the rest of your life, and best of all, you'll get to bring the experience home. Sunshine offers a video of your actual flight. Up, up and away!
