West Maui is home to one of the wettest places on earth. Long streaming waterfalls and vibrant green valleys are trademarks of this incredible volcanic wonderland. Weather permitting, highlights include: the "Wall of Tears" with over 17 waterfalls flowing at once; Maui's tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls, with over 1,100 foot drop. View the resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua. Take in Old Lahaina Town with its quaint historic whaling harbor. Fly by Launiupoko, Olowalu and Ukumehame valleys. Finally, the vast central Maui sugarcane and pineapple fields as you return to Sunshine's heliport. Whale watching in season.
In the air, helicopter next to plunging waterfalls, take the "magic carpet ride" above miles of verdant jungle and soar across the spectacular coastline of one of our nation's largest rainforests. Ascend the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala and discover its immense moonlike crater. Then, from the ground, climb aboard your mini coach on a spectacular ground tour all in one day.
