Flying Lesson to Hana with a photoshoot!
Flying High to Hana: A Maui Aerial Adventure and Secluded Coastline Photoshoot
Looking for something truly unforgettable on your next trip to Maui? Imagine this: Soar above cascading waterfalls and emerald valleys, then touch down near the remote coastline of Hana for a private photoshoot surrounded by raw, untamed beauty.
That’s exactly what we did—and let us tell you, it was magic.
✈️ The Flight: A Lesson Above Paradise
Our adventure began with a flying lesson through Maui Flight Academy. Whether you’re a total beginner or a curious enthusiast, their FAA-certified instructors make it easy to get behind the controls. After an excellent briefing and safety check, we lifted off from Kahului Airport, heading east toward the legendary Hana coast.
The views? Unreal. From the sky, the Road to Hana reveals a whole new dimension—lush rainforests, secret waterfalls, black sand beaches, and volcanic ridges unfolding beneath us like a living postcard.
And yes—you can actually take the controls. Under the guidance of your instructor, you get hands-on time flying the aircraft. It’s not just a ride; it’s an experience.
📸 The Photoshoot: Where Nature Meets Cinematic Light
Once we landed in Hana, we headed to a secluded stretch of coastline accessible only to locals or those arriving by air. This spot is far from the crowds, with dramatic cliffs, tide pools, and wild waves that catch the golden light like nowhere else on the island.
The lighting in Hana is special—especially near sunrise. With mist from the ocean softening the sun’s glow and volcanic rock providing texture and depth, every frame looks like a scene from a film. Whether it’s a romantic couples’ shoot, solo portraits, or fine art photography, the location delivers.
Our session was all about connection—with each other, with nature, and with the freedom that comes from seeing the island from above.
