Description

This open-cockpit gyrocopter flight gives you an unmatched, unobstructed view of Maui, with nothing but open air between you and the island. Cruise above lush valleys, rugged cliffs, and the coastline with a smooth, stable ride that feels both thrilling and surprisingly calm. What sets a gyrocopter apart is how it flies: the rotor isn’t engine-driven in flight, it spins freely in autorotation while a separate propeller provides forward thrust. A completely unique and unforgettable flight!

An Absolutely Breathtaking Experience

An Absolutely Breathtaking Experience — Worth Every Second! If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure on Maui, check out a gyrocopter flight with Armin out of Hana Airport. This was truly a fantastic and unique experience — it exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, Armin made me feel completely at ease. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion for what he does is immediately evident. He took the time to walk through everything, answered every question with patience and enthusiasm, and made the entire experience feel both safe and adventurous at the same time. His skill as a pilot is exceptional — every maneuver was smooth, intentional, and timed to maximize the best views. The 60-minute flight itself was very cinematic. We flew over the brilliant blue coastline, where the ocean stretched beneath us in every shade of turquoise and sapphire — absolutely stunning from the air. Armin flew us over the iconic cascading waterfalls tucked into Maui’s lush rainforest valleys, and the sight of those ribbons of white water cutting through walls of emerald green was absolutely beautiful. The dramatic ridgelines and valleys of East Maui were a sight to behold. I highly recommend this experience!

Experience that everyone should do!

I had an amazing time up in the air! Armin is an amazing pilot and guide and we saw incredible sights that would be impossible to see otherwise. We were in the air for a very long time and Armin knew all about the amazing ecosystem below us and shared lots of interesting facts about properties we passed by. This is something that everyone should do if they are able, and I would definitely love to do it again in the future!

Operator response

YES! You're so right that you see incredible sights you wouldn't otherwise see. The best view on Maui to be sure!

Gyro or helicopter? Definitely GYRO!

I did the Gyro-copter. The next week I did the helicopter ride. If I had only one to choose from, it would DEFINITELY be the gyro-copter. For ME, WAAAAY much more exciting! Totally recommend the experience.

Operator response

All of our guests say the same thing! The gyrocopter is way more fun than a helicopter! We're so glad you enjoyed the open cockpick views! Come see us next time, Eddie!

Unforgettable perspective of Maui's specialness and beauty.

I first met Armin 15 years ago. Maui is a special place. Hana is very special place within Maui. Armin provides a service for you to see Hana that will make it even more special. The experience(both Gyrocopter and Hang Gliding, I have done both)) is fun, gentle and safe for all. I have been up with Armin multiple times and he makes every trip like your first. Highly recommend Hang Gliding Maui.

Operator response

I absolutely flying with you! I can't wait for your next visit!

Awesome experience seeing Maui from above in an open cockpit gyrocopter

A great experience! It was so fun seeing water falls, mountains, and beaches from the air. Armin is very professional and so entertaining before and during the flight. I felt completely safe. He even video tapes you while in the air. It should be on every one’s bucket list!

Unforgettable Experience

Hands down the best part of my trip to Maui! The Gyrocopter experience was truly exhilarating. Armin was very nice and professional. He also gave a thorough presentation on how the machine worked. Felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Maui!
