Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours
On our fourth day in Maui, we decided to take a helicopter tour and to check out the nearby town of Lahaina. Of course, I was terrified when I first got to the helipad for our helicopter tour (and, okay, during it also), but it was so worth it! We took the tour of the West Maui Mountains, which include some of the wettest places in the world with the most rainfall, and the Molokai Cliffs, which are the tallest sea-facing cliffs in the world. The entire tour was amazing!
First, we fueled up in the Hard Rock Cafe, where I added to my Hard Rock t-shirt collection!
Then it was time for our tour.

That is what we could have fallen into. Now you understand my fear.

Reminder of the whaling industry that brought wealth to Maui, but killed so many whales and the native culture.
