Maui Introductory Flight Lesson: Round-Trip to Molokai
Maui, United States of America
See Hawaii from above as you fly along the northern coast of Molokai during a flight lesson from Maui. Guided by a certified instructor-pilot, you’ll take the controls of a Cirrus SR22 aircraft, learning how to take off, cruise at altitude, descend and approach the runway to land. Enjoy 60 minutes of flying time with a short stop to stretch your legs in the village Kalaupapa on Molokai. No previous flight experience necessary.
If you’ve ever dreamed of flying your own plane, this introductory lesson provides the perfect opportunity, with a bonus of doing it above the beautiful scenery of Hawaii.
After meeting your professionally certified instructor at Maui's Kahului Airport, you'll receive a briefing that covers basic flight controls and safety procedures, followed by a total of 50-60 minutes in the air. In no time, you’ll be piloting the Cirrus SR22 aircraft yourself as you learn each phase of flying: how to take off, cruise over the Hawaiian Islands, descend and land on the runway.
Heading toward the neighboring island of Molokai, soar along its scenic northern coastline and marvel at the aerial views. Then experience the thrill of landing the plane, which you'll accomplished with the assistance of your instructor who sits behind you at the controls.
Hop out of the plane in Kalaupapa for a quick break to stretch your legs, snap a photo or two and learn about the history of this former leper colony. Afterward, you can either switch flyers with another person in your group or continue with the original flyer for the return journey to Maui (up to three participants are allowed per booking).
Your entire lesson is recorded on two video cameras at no additional charge.
Pricing is per person, based on 3 adults per departure.
An amazing experience that I highly recommend! The views from this flight were outstanding and should not be missed. Laurence was very personable and was a great instructor.. very clear and made the flight as easy as possible. I was worried about getting motion sickness but popped some Dramamine earlier in the day, but don't think I would have had an issue even if I didn't have the meds. The flight was smoother than the one flying to the island from LA. Thank you for the incredible, generous, birthday experience for my boyfriend and the accommodating scheduling.
