Total inconvenience/constant changes

1/28/25 I scheduled Hana/Rainforest flight. They cancelled as there were not more people on the flight. I reschedules for Waterfalls/Molokai for 1:30 I believe on 1/30. Another call from Blue to re-schedule yet again at 2:35! I cancelled it all together. It was a real inconvenience and had I not rescheduled I could have done something else!! Not happy and do not recommend.

The only way to experience Hana

Wow! Cannot recommend this tour enough! The helicopter ride along the coast to Hana was unforgettable. Our pilot was great and made sure we experienced all the falls. Music (Jurassic Park Theme) as we flew over Jurassic Rock was the highlight! Riding the Road to Hana in a guided van tour is the only way to go. Our tour guide Scott knew all the great spots, his knowledge of history added to the tour, and his photography skills were an added surprise. A true pro. Book this tour ! You will not regret it.

Amazing way to see Maui!

Pilot Chris did an amazing job of taking up our family who had never been on a helicopter before! The flight was smooth, he pointed out many things we would never have known and pointed out places to visit to round out our Maui experience. We just loved it! Of the many highlights of this family trip, our helicopter ride was at the top!

Derek is a gem

This is an incredible trip that I would highly recommend. Derek was a wonderful pilot and made us all comfortable! He was friendly and told us the perfect amount of information as we flew around Maui. We enjoyed this trip 3 years ago and had to do it again!
