Amazing Bucket List Experience
What a great time and experience. You can take a helicopter in many locations but if you don't in Maui, it will be difficult if not impossible to see many of the waterfalls and the coastline there otherwise. Our pilot was great and make us feel safe taken care of. The Hana with landing will be a memory that lasts our family a long time. Lastly, the staff in the office was also super nice and to not mention her generosity would be a fail on our part. I wont say how, but she blessed our kids just after our experienc and before leaving the hanger. I think we lucked out tbh having perfectly booked timing between hurricanes and a lot of rain. What a great time and we're truly blessed.

Amazing Experience
John was our pilot and he was great! We did the Hana rainforest ride and landed in a rain forest, It reminded of Jurassic Park. In fact we flew over Jurassic rock from the opening of the movie. Amazing experience!

Expensive for length of flight, but really cool experience!
We registered for a cash fund to help pay for this tour for our honeymoon. Overall, I think it’s worth the money, but doesn’t make it any less expensive! Wish it was a little longer of a flight for how much it is. Our tour guide/pilot was John and was very knowledgeable about the area and where we were flying around. Helicopter was very safe and stable, coming from 2 people who had never been in one. Stopped in the rainforest for about 30 min and had some local fruit, pretty cool experience. Also I don’t like how they ask you to buy a photo at the end for $30, I would rather them include it in the price of the ticket and you get a photo with it. I don’t think a lot of people want to pay for anything more after spending $700+ for the flight. Would create a lot less waste of printing out all the photos and the photographer makes more too.
