Sunshine Helicopters 808-270-3999
Possibly the second-most-luxurious Maui helicopter company, they fly both
AStar and WhisperStar helicopters. The WhisperStar is very similar to
Blue Hawaiian's Eco-Star, with six individual seats. The AStars, which
they call "Black Beauties," are an older model with bench seats, also
holding six passengers. Unlike most companies, Sunshine will guarantee
you a front-row seat for extra cost.
