Helicopter Ride 10/10
Kirk was an amazing pilot! He was so knowledgeable and made sure to include everyone in the ride. This is a must do in Maui, the views are unbeatable. Definitely recommend, especially Kirk! Everyone at the front was also very kind and helpful.

Amazing experience!
This helicopter tour was the highlight of our trip to Maui. Our pilot, Dylan, took us by waterfalls in Maui and across the water through the cliffs of Molokai. The oceanfront landing was incredible - small beautiful, private cove. Absolutely recommend!
Operator response
Thank you very much for the wonderful recommendation and review of our Oceanfront Landing tour!

Terrible
I made a special trip to Maui for this ride and got a call cancelling it 4 hours before saying because the weather was bad. When I said something about the weather is suppose to clear up 2 hours before the scheduled time, the lady said "I'm no meteorologist, the pilot just cancelled". My wife and I decided to drive 35 miles to one of the spots on the itinerary and the sun was out the whole time. When we arrived we had two other touring helicopters drive over that spot twice. It looks like the pilot wanted a day off!! It cost me two flights from Honolulu, 2 nights at a hotel in Maui, and a rental car. Date of experience: 23 March, 2026 I
Operator response
As you probably heard and most likely experienced Maui and Oahu had almost 2 weeks of bad weather and flooding. I can assure you that the pilot was not just looking to "take a day off" but rather wanted to be sure that our guests would have an enjoyable and safe experience. Our tours do not just go over one spot on Maui. We fly into the valleys and to a completely different island where the weather was bad. It is unfortunate you only planned to come to Maui for 2 days when we had such poor weather although that was to no fault of our company.

Birthday Flight
10/10. This was amazing. I’m terrified of flying and the thought of going up in a helicopter made me nauseous but it all faded away quickly. Our pilot Dylan was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had literally the perfect curated playlist for this flight. Take off and landing were flawless and he showed us amazing sights up close that you otherwise wouldn’t get to see. The staff at Air Maui were kind and friendly. They even helped us out easily with a photo mishap. I would fly with them again in a heartbeat
Operator response
Thank you so much for celebrating your birthday with us! Happy to hear fears were conquered and you had such a great time with Dylan. We hope to see you the next time your travels bring you back to the islands.

Core memory
Dylan was an amazing pilot. Very knowledgeable and made it a fun experience playing music to each new view. One extra connection to the memory. Smooth operator as well.

Highly recommend the...
Highly recommend the floor flight. Phenomenal views of the island most people will never see. The staff was exceptional and very knowledgeable of the island history and the people. Great job to the entire staff, especially the members doing the behind scenes work(mechanics).

Bad Ass!
It was AMAZING! I’ve already been on 3 Blue Hawaiian Maui tours. Air Maui should be called “Maui Wowie” because it blows Blue Hawaiian away! Capt Kirk was fantastic and we will definitely fly Air Maui again!
Operator response
Thank you so much for the outstanding review and feedback! We hope to see you again the next time you are back in the islands~
