Sunshine Helicopters - Molokai Deluxe Tour
See the highlights of West Maui Deluxe and whale watch (in season) as you cross Pailolo channel between Maui's northwestern shore and Molokai's eastern coastline when you take a flight with Sunshine Helicopters! West Maui is one of the wettest places on earth. Weather permitting, flight highlights include: the "Wall of Tears" with over 17 waterfalls flowing at once; Maui's tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls, with over 1,100 feet drop. See the resorts of Kapalua and Kaanapali. Soar above Hawaii's tallest waterfalls - including the 1,750 feet Kahiwa Falls, along Molokai's remote and isolated north shore. You will be in awe at the gigantic sea cliffs, the tallest in the world. Discover Halawa Valley with two beautiful, large waterfalls flowing down the mountains. See Molokai's Kalaupapa Peninsula, which for years has been home to people suffering from Hansen's disease (leprosy) and see Father Damien's monument. Not many visitors see Molokai and it is Ross's favorite tour.
