See the Hana rainforest from the air — a thick east-Maui canopy, valleys folding into each other, waterfalls that the road never reaches, then the coast and bays along the Hana shoreline. From the Highway you get one curve at a time. From the helicopter the rainforest is a sheet, and the water is a line of falls toward the sea.
The 45-minute Hana Rainforest and Haleakalā Crater tour is the Maui flight built around this country. After lift-off you fly the east side: rainforest, hidden pools, the Hana coast, then the climb to Haleakalā. The 60-minute Complete Island takes the same east country, then continues into the West Maui Mountains. The 30-minute Birds Eye View does not come this far east. The Molokai flights go the other way, across the Pailolo Channel.
You do not drive the Road to Hana and you do not land in the rainforest on these listings. You see Hana from the helicopter, then you either climb the volcano or, on the hour, turn west.
The extra minutes on the Complete Island are West Maui after this canopy, not a second loop of the same falls. Stay on the 45-minute east tour if Hana and the crater are the point. The westbound 45-minute tickets are sea cliffs, not this rainforest.
Waterfalls on the east side are part of the same look as the trees. They are not a separate product. Oceanfront landing is a north-shore stop on a west-and-Molokai flight, not a Hana pad.
About 45 minutes in the air on the east ticket, 60 on the Complete Island. Shared, doors on, six passengers. Weather on the east flank can hide falls and the crater alike; the pilot flies what the day allows.
