Kapalua Coastline
Scenic views of Maui's northwest luxury resorts and the iconic Honolua Bay surfing area.
North Shore Sea Cliffs
Breathtaking views of vertical cliffs rising over 3,000 feet directly out of the Pacific Ocean.
Kalaupapa Peninsula
The isolated flatland at the base of the cliffs, home to the historic settlement and Father Damien's mission.
Hidden Waterfalls
Seasonal waterfalls cascading down the inaccessible green cliffs of the northern valleys like Halawa.
Kalaupapa Lighthouse
The solitary lighthouse standing on the tip of the peninsula against the crashing northern swells.
This is the premier side for photography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the northern cliffs, avoiding the heavy shadows that appear in the afternoon. Since the flight is exceptionally short (approx. 25 minutes), have your camera ready immediately upon crossing the channel.

West Maui Mountains
Dramatic aerial views of the deeply eroded ridges and lush valleys of Mauna Kahalawai shortly after takeoff.
Pailolo Channel
The stretch of water between Maui and Molokai, frequently dotted with breaching humpback whales during winter months.
South Molokai Reef
Extensive views of the longest continuous fringing reef in the United States, displaying vibrant turquoise patterns.
Ancient Fishponds
Dozens of historic Hawaiian rock-wall fishponds lining the southern coastline, visible in the shallow waters.
Choose this side if you are interested in Hawaiian history and marine biology. The south shore's reef system and fishponds are best viewed when the sun is directly overhead (11 AM - 1 PM) to penetrate the water. During winter (December to April), keep your eyes peeled for whale activity in the channel.
