Beautiful scenery!

Drew. the pilot, was very kind to our family of 5 and gave us some very interesting facts about the islands during our flight time! It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii, and an unforgettable experience! We’re so happy we booked it !

Beautiful views, fun pilot, excellent trip!

I live on island and decided to finally go up in the helicopters I always see flying overhead. Could not be happier with this decision! From the start, Ashley was a dream for the booking. She was helpful and patient, answered all questions, and explained options. Thank you! Our pilot, Vince, was super personable, fun, and full of interesting information about the islands and their history. The trip itself was incredible. Stunning views of the islands, waterfalls, coast, beaches, reefs...and even manta rays and humpback whales. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you very much! I will be sure to share you wonderful review with our staff and your pilot Vince. Aloha!

Get it together. Maui is in a “just pay big money“ rut.

Keep messing people around with your stupid five dollar QR code parking and I hope you go out of business! $500 for a ride and the stupid five dollar parking you have no answers for and ultimately tell me “just forget it” when YOU can’t get it to work!. Forget you! Fix it! Note: the back right hand seat is 80% ocean going CCW. I would’ve selected left-hand but the crying baby was over there. Of course this wasn’t the Hana flight I chose. That was changed by the “awesome/epic/rad” pilot 15 minutes before I got there. I knew the stupid parking thing was stupid before I even left home. Enjoy!

Operator response

The parking lot at the heliport is managed by the State of Hawaii because we are on federal property. Employees are required to pay monthly as well so we don't like it just as much as our customers but unfortunately it is what it is. Just like parking at most airports this is a paid parking. The parking has NOTHING to do with our company at Air Maui and that is not "our" QR code. It is unfortunate the $5 parking created such a bad experience for you for and ruined what could have been an incredible helicopter tour. If you did not want to take the alternate route that was offered due to poor weather in Hana you could have rescheduled or cancelled for a full refund. We will not fly in bad weather for safety reasons.

Going to pile on with the positivity because they earn it. The crew and our pilot guide Ken were professional and really fun! The knowledge and passion flowed out making what was already a beautiful experience that much more. Helicopter tours aren’t cheap but this one was in line with others on the island. A great value because of the service. Highlight of what was an all around great trip. Worth every penny!

Operator response

Thank you very much for the outstanding review and feedback! We really do appreciate you choosing to fly with us!

Amazing moment

I had the chance to fly with Air Maui, and what a great experience it was. I have never seen landscapes as beautiful as this in my life. If you think you will be afraid during the flight, I assure you that you will feel safe. I was a little nervous before taking off and thanks to Pilot Nathan, I really felt safe and supervised. You don't have to do anything. Let yourself be carried away by the music in your ears, and by the pilot's instructions, then look at the magnificent view that will be offered to you. You will live the best experience of your entire life.

Operator response

Thank you! I will be sure to let Nathan know how much you enjoyed his flight over West Maui and Molokai. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time here in the islands. Aloha~

Right passenger in back seat will NOT BE in the video!

I think they should disclose to the person sitting in the right seat behind the pilot you won’t be in ANY of the video. Yes, having the scenery of your tour is great, but my husband looks like he was on the flight alone as you can’t see me at all. They don’t let you choose where you’re sitting, so why is it fair you pay the same for your video as the other couples that get that keepsake of their trip together. Happy 18th anniversary to us, even though it looks like he went solo. I already emailed the company, they said I hope you took lots of selfie's.. so compassionate.

Operator response

Mahalo for the feedback. We do understand the disappointment in not seeing yourself in the in flight video much. The pilots do record the entire flight with their live music and commentary and although about 95% of the video is of the outside views there are a few times they do show the inside camera so I apologize you were not able to see yourself in the inside camera view in those shots. The video package is an optional purchase when you land and we do give you a chance to view it first before deciding to purchase or not. There are times the video does not work or you might not be satisfied with the quality, etc which is why we always encourage everyone to take photos, videos and selfies with their own cameras/phones as well - just in case.

Amazing views

It was amazing!!! I was so scared but the flight was no smooth, no scary turns, I felt safe the entire tire. The office is clean, well equipped, the safety lesson is easy, the staff super friendly. Our pilot Cameron was very good. The views were stunning!!! But next time I'd like to pay extra to go in the front seat for a better view. It was an unforgettable experience. I'd do it again and I can't wait to go back to Maui!!!

Operator response

Thank you! We look forward to seeing you the next time you are back in the islands. Aloha~

Incredible experience. You simply cannot really appreciate the full beauty of these islands unless you can see it from the sky! Our pilot, Drew, was terrific. The staff was very professional. The ride was very smooth and comfortable.

Wonderful experience!

The whole tour was truly amazing! Every minute was memorable! Our pilot was fantastic and took us in close to waterfalls and in the valleys. This was an experience we’ll never forget!!
