Helicopters-explained
5 Companies tour the beauty of Maui by air of which 90% of the Islands can only be seen by air
4 Companies have similar Helicopters: ASTAR's are newer with more unobstructed views and theater seating, so people in back are elevated behind the front seats. Of course, all are very safe aircraft. Other Helicopters include twin engines. They feel the benefit of two engines provides higher safety.
There is also a Hughes 500, only 4 seats, guaranteed windows, but smaller craft, and less window space. A Sykorsky is the12 passenger craft, takes larger groups. The only Helicraft from Maui flying over the Live Volcano in Hawaii the Big Island.
What do the Helicopter companies want you to know?
One wants you to know they have the largest fleet and have accolades from the industry for quality, safety, and customer service.
