Molokini Crater
The iconic, partially submerged volcanic crescent is clearly visible in the channel south of Maui.
Kahoʻolawe Island
A full view of the uninhabited 'Target Island' and its distinctive red soil and arid landscape.
South Maui Coast
Aerial views of the pristine white-sand beaches and luxury resorts of Wailea and Makena.
Mauna Kea
The world's tallest mountain from its underwater base, often capped with snow or hosting world-class observatories at its summit.
Mauna Loa
The massive profile of the world's largest active shield volcano dominating the southern horizon.
The right side is unbeatable for island hopping fans. For the best photography, aim for a midday flight when the water color over the reefs is most vibrant. Ensure your camera is ready immediately after takeoff to catch Molokini before the plane heads further south.

Shortly after takeoff, witness the massive slopes and the 10,023-foot summit of Maui's dormant shield volcano.
Alenuihāhā Channel
The deep blue and often turbulent waters of the channel separating Maui from the Big Island.
North Kohala Valleys
On the descent into Waimea, the left side provides a glimpse of the remote, lush sea cliffs of Pololū and Waimanu.
Choose the left side for dramatic, close-up views of the rugged North Kohala coastline during the final approach. Morning flights are preferred as the sun illuminates the deep green valleys and sea cliffs, avoiding the shadows that fall in the late afternoon.
