Hawaii from the air, the ultimate way to see the "unknown" Hawaii

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

The Hawaiian islands are a thing of rare beauty.  Formed over the millennia by volcanoes raising from the depths of the ocean and eroded by wind and rain, the land took on its present appearance. Now spectacular mountains, miles of beaches, rain forests, sugar cane and pineapple plantations and mountain valleys dominate the landscape.  While the "hand of man" has greatly changed the island over the years, many sights of the natural hawaii remain as they were many years ago. 

While each hawiian island has it's own character, one fact is common to all islands.  You can't see everything that there is to see from a trip by car or hiking.  There are many sights to see that can only be accessed from the air.

MAUI FROM THE AIR

THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE PARADISE

The island of Maui is a remarkable place to visit. There are 24 seperate climates on the island, ranging from dry desert on the western side to rainforests on the northeastern side. Looking at a satalite image of Maui shows that the prevailing trade winds bring moisture down from the north and encountering the towering Haleakla peak, drop the moisture in the form of rain and mist on the windward side of the island.

This single happening gives Maui its unique character and has provided for the agriculture over the years as well as the delicate balance of fresh water to nurish the people of Maui. This interplay of wind and rainfall has also shaped many of the wonderful streams that cascade down from the slopes of the two dormant volcanoes that dominate Maui.

You can see a lot of this even today by driving around the island, but to see the complete story of Maui, you must go to the interior of the island. There are few roads leading from the coastal areas of the island. To view the interior you must use some way to travel by air.

The very best way to do this is to take a helicopter tour of the island. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Maui - CLICK HERE! is the premere helicopter tour company on Maui providing outstanding air service to visitors since 1988. Their fleet of advanced helicopters ensures safe and comfortable viewing of the many wonderful sights on the island.

THE HELICOPTER EXPERIENCE

SEEING MAUI AS NEVER BEFORE !

You are very wise to choose to see Maui from the air by taking a helicopter tour. You will be treated to a new and pleasant experience.

The helicopter pilot is a professional, experienced airman, who is also a knowledgeable tour guide. He (or she) knows the island, the most interesting places to visit and the most interesting sights for his (or her) passengers to view.

Your experience starts with the staff taking the weight of each passenger. This is not to embarrass you, but to assign seating so the helicopter is not overloaded and is properly balanced for safe flight.

The helicopters used are specifically designed so everyone has an opportunity to get the very best views of the surrounding landscape. They are relatively quiet and comfortable. You will be given headphones to make hearing the pilots descriptions of what you are seeing very clear, above the sound of the jet engine. Also, they will have hawaiian music in the background to "set the mood" for your trip.

You will find that the helicopter has a very smooth ride, even if it is windy on the day of your trip.

An added feature that you will want to consider is purchasing a DVD of the trip that you have just taken. Each helicopter is equipped with video cameras, operated by the pilot to record your adventure. It is scored with hawaiian music and truly makes a fine remembrance of your helicopter flight.

My best advice is to relax and enjoy the trip. You will see Maui a in a very special and memorable way.
