Hana’s nearly uninhabited “back side” is home of the “Seven Pools” and Lindberg’s grave. The Hana Rain Forest extends for over 180 square miles along Maui’s northern coast and is the largest tropical rain forest in our nation.

Know Before You Go

  • Cameras are permitted on board and recommended. Your pilot will create a video of your actual flight utilizing their camera system which includes a cabin camera and nose camera (sold separately).
  • Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Dark shirts or tops are recommended for photo taking. Bright colored clothing may put a reflective glare on the helicopter plexiglass windows and reflect in your photos. Dark clothing helps to eliminate the reflection. Their climate control system keeps the helicopters at a comfortable temperature for the entire flight.

First Class Seating: Passengers enjoy “First Class” seating next to pilot, with extra arm and leg room. Maximum combined weight for two passengers on Whisper STAR helicopter First Class is 490 lbs.

  • Weight & Size Guidelines:
    Helicopter weight and balance changes with every flight because of passenger weight, pilot weight and length of flight (fuel weight). It is important that they have accurate body weight from every passenger. FAA regulations require all passengers and their carry-on items to be weighed at time of check-in. If a standard airline seat belt is too small or you weigh over 240 pounds you may be required to purchase a comfort seat on the FX STAR. If you are between 240-290 lbs. they recommend open seating on the Whisper STAR. Over 290 lbs may require a comfort seat in the Whisper STAR.
