Maui Romantic Sunset Champagne Private Air Tour — 60-Min West Maui Flight

The Experience
Before You Go
Disclose Accurate Weight
You must enter each passenger’s weight at booking—aircraft seating and safety depend on it.
Wear Layers
Even at sunset the cabin can get cool; bring a light windproof layer to stay comfortable.
Charge Your Camera
Bring a fully charged camera or phone and a wide-angle lens; natural light fades fast during sunset.
Arrive to Private Aviation Area
Follow GPS to Eena St and the airport’s private aviation row; staff will escort you through VIP access.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

- •Sea turtles near reef-protected coves
Conservation Note
Operators follow airport and FAA rules; choose companies that brief passengers on not disturbing wildlife and support restoration efforts for nearby reefs and Kahoʻolawe.
From the air you can trace Maui’s plantation past—sugar fields and the mill that shaped the island’s economy—and see Kahoʻolawe’s wartime scars.
