Beginning with a helicopter flight, this trip features the world’s longest scenic coastal ride, revealing rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and cascading waterfalls that few see up close. The aerial view includes the iconic Haleakala Crater, a dormant volcano with a massive summit crater famed for its volcanic terrain and sunrise vistas. After touching down, the adventure shifts to the ground with a guided tour through Iao Valley, a lush rainforest valley rich with tropical flora and steeped in Hawaiian history. Here, visitors walk among verdant peaks and the distinctive Iao Needle, a natural stone spire rising 1,200 feet.
