Join the Jurassic Helicopter team of highly trained pilots and crew and experience Maui's newest helicopter flight to Molokai, flown directly from the Hyatt Regency's rooftop. This is the perfect option for those staying in the West Maui resort area, who want to maximize their valuable vacation time and avoid the drive back to the Kahului Heliport, which round trip could take about 2 hours.
You will take off from one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches and fly directly over the Pacific Ocean towards the majestic island of Molokai. There you will be in awe as you find yourself flying over the world's tallest sea cliffs, Hawaii's tallest waterfall and majestic mountains. You will also fly over the remote Mokapu Island, featured in Jurassic Park movies, before returning to Maui and venturing into West Maui's Waihee Valley and its hillsides, carved by ancient lava flows and cascading waterfalls that will take your breath away!
