From A Haleakala Crater Limo-van And Maui Haleakala Sunrise Sightseeing To Zip Line Tours At Piiholo Ranch, You Can Experience High-Flying Adventure!
Maui flourishes with thrilling explorations and ways to indulge yourself. A Maui Hana Sky Trek Helicopter and Road to Hana Sightseeing Tour certainly provides plenty of both.
As you soar high above Haleakala Crater (the world’s largest inactive volcano) in a Blue Hawaiian helicopter you can experience the simple brilliance of Maui! Just pilot your Kahului rental car from your hotel to Kahului Helipad for the vacation of a lifetime!
Maui’s Concierge Magazine aptly named the Sky Trek Helicopter and Road to Hana sightseeing tour as “Maui’s Best Activity Overall”! On the Road to Hana, during this three and a half-hour sightseeing tour (in a luxury air-conditioned Limo-Van), you will see Maui at its absolute finest.
There will be ample time for great photos as your knowledgeable tour guide leads the journey. You will see Waikani Falls, Wainapanapa, black sand beaches, landscapes of stunning beauty and an abundance of Hawaiian plant life.
The tour ends with a lunch fit for a king, set with white linen table cloths, linen napkins, crystalline plates and flatware. You’ll love this tour if you’re looking to indulge yourself!
The Haleakala Crater is breathtaking, and a 30-minute flight will whet your appetite for more. Presenting Haleakala at its [finest best], you’ll have plenty of time for sightseeing and many photo opportunities during a Haleakala sunrise sightseeing tour. Wake up to a continental breakfast before sunrise at the crater, and enjoy a sit-down breakfast at Kula lodge later on.
Enjoy this epic seven and a half-hour tour in a luxury air-conditioned Limo-Van, while experienced, educated tour guides narrate the stories of the land.
If you are keen to take in the scenery but want to get a little more up-close-and-personal, then you may enjoy a Maui Zipline Tour at Piiholo Ranch.
After arriving at Kahului Airport, it’s just a pleasant, rather short drive to Makawao and the Piiholo ranch in your Maui car renta.
Beginning with a walk across a 317-foot suspension bridge, choose between a 4-Line or 5-Line zipline tour at Phiiholo Ranch. The latest and largest ziplines in Hawaii can be found at Piiholo Ranch. As you traverse above eucalyptus forests, native koa and ohia trees and other native plants, you will enjoy a number of photo opportunities. The Piiholo ziplines also provide an extraordinary vantage for captivating coastal and canyon views.
Whether you prefer travelling in luxurious, air-conditioned comfort or would rather experience some added excitement swinging high amongst the tree tops, Maui certainly offers an adventure for everyone.
