Helicopter Transfer Maui to Lanai

The short hop from Maui to Lanai covers about 40 miles across the Pailolo Channel, with a typical flight time of around 30 minutes. Departing from Kahului Airport on Maui’s north shore, the trip is well suited to a helicopter, which can make the crossing quickly and carry travellers directly toward Lanai Airport. Lanai is one of the smaller islands in the Hawaiian chain, and visitors often go there for its quiet, uncrowded atmosphere, its beaches and its scenic coastline. Maui, by contrast, is known for its varied beaches, volcanic landscapes and resort areas. The flight offers a brief aerial view of the two islands and the water between them, making it a convenient way to move between two very different island settings in a single morning or afternoon.
